Hello Gang...
Tony is a very active Triumph guy out here....His dad was Alva Rodriques, who
I bought my 1st Triumph racecar from in 1970
looks like Tony and his family need some help/support.

Subject: [Spridgets] FYI Northern California Listers
I know several of you have ventured to Chico, CA over the years for their
All British Car Meet, that has been held pretty much without fail for the last
20 years. For the most part, the survival of the British Car scene in Chico
and that meet pretty well owe it's existence to Tony Rodriguez, the long time
owner of Economy Foriegn Car Parts, in Chico. This past month, Tony, who is
only about 50 years old, was diagnosed with stage four cancerous brain tumors.
The prognosis is not good, and at this time, I'm told Tony is physically doing
ok, but is forgetfull and easily confused. Being self-employed, Tony has very
limited health care insurance. He has a wife, and two sons, 17 and 21. I've
witnessed the outpouring of good will from this list for strangers before,
and am hoping I can rally some help, however small for Tony. I know that
without his influence and help over the years, I probably would not have
found or hung on to my love of LBC's. Can someone who has done this before
advise me on how to set up a fund on his behalf? I've heard much complaints
about PayPal, so I'm unsure if that is the route to go. Also, if you need to
order any british car parts, his lone employee, Mike, is trying to keep the
store open, as that is the family source of income. They source parts from
all the usual places and then some. The business phone is 530-342-1821. Mike
can ship anywhere.
I'm sorry this is so jumbled up, but my thoughts are spinning a mile a
minute. Tony has been a good friend. I've lost friends and relatives before,
but never known ahead of time that it is coming. I'm two states away now and
may not get to see him again.
