Hi Team, 

I'm happy to provide a preview of part of my column from the upcoming March
issue of Austin-Healey Magazine: <http://www.healey.org/magazine.shtml> 

2000 Presidents Award

Im very happy to announce that the winner of the 2000 Presidents Award is
Mark Bradakis of Salt Lake City, Utah.  Mark is not a member of our club,
but he has contributed tremendously to our club and to the preservation of
the marque, and indeed, he has contributed to the preservation of the entire
British car hobby.

You see, Mark is the administrator of the e-mail lists described on page 127
of the 2000 Austin-Healey Resource Book.  These e-mail lists provide a
valuable, free forum for enthusiasts to ask questions and share information.
It is no exaggeration to say that this new medium is extending the life of
the entire hobby by putting widely dispersed enthusiasts in touch with one
another, the world over.

It is also worth mentioning that Mark administers about 85 such lists for
various marques and car hobby interests, all at no cost to the users, and
each providing a place where owners, restorers, and suppliers can "meet" to
solve technical problems, inform one another of sources of parts, make
recommendations for maintenance and repair techniques, and publicize
activities of interest to other owners.  "The lists" truly represent a new
medium, taking advantage of the possibilities presented by the advent of the
Internet.

Mark has also provided our club's own e-mail list (see:
<http://vitesse.team.net/mailman/listinfo/ahcusa>), providing our members a
way to conduct "virtual club meetings" via the Internet.  This is all
provided at no cost to us.

For these reasons, and because of the huge positive impact of what Mark
provides, I'm pleased to name him the recipient of the Austin-Healey Club
USA's 2000 President's Award.  Thank you and well done, Mark!

Cheers,
Reid Trummel
