Hey, admin on this one goes to Ron.
We've helped before, so lets help again. $5.00 from everone on
the two lists, could make someoen getting back on their feet a
little easier. Yes, insurance will probably kick in, but we all
know insurance doesn't cover everything.
Pat Kelly, can you forward Ron's post to the Bay Area list? I'll
be spamming the New England Region, the Fairfield County
(Connecticut) Sports Car Club, and Equipe-rapide (Florida) lists.
