[Tigers] HONORING

[Thomas Witt]

I never personally met Dick Barker.  I did however have correspondence with 
him when I bought my Tiger.  The car had been stored at Smitty's and he was 
familiar with it.  Dick took the time to relay a rather amusing story of how 
this near basket case was brought to Smitty's and the PO had thought $5,000 
would have restored it.  Thus, when Dick found out the car had gotten into 
my hands he seemed to take an interest in this extensive project.

 I certainly appreciated his encouragement knowing the task that lay ahead. 
Even after he left the list as a regular I sporadically heard from him and 
again his words encouraged.  My condolences to his family and friends who 
knew him well.
