RE: [Chrysler300] Norm Thatcher - Bonneville 300D (& Intro)

["Josh " <josh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Warren,

 

 Thank you for your reply.  I have attempted to trace ancestry of Norm and
his 2 top mechanics.  The first mechanic was a Mr. Norm Sthiles.  I was able
to get into contact with a family member in Nevada, however Mr. Sthiles died
last June.  I also dug for information on Bill LaRoy.  He was the main guy
doing hands on work on this car and on later Norm Thatcher cars.  I finally
discovered his brother's widow, who put me in contact with her son.  Sadly
Bill passed away a few years ago as well.  As of yet the families haven't
been able to contribute and information. but I am still trying.

 

  Norm Thatcher's family is next.  I did some basic searches, but nothing
solid yet.   It was easier to track the other families due to the more
distinct names.  I have spent a ton of hours on the phone so far but I think
it will pay off in the end.  Even confirming their passing is at least a
start.  I have found a reference to Norm by a Sherwood K, but even with the
club directory he is proving hard to get a hold of.  I am hoping maybe
someone else who lived in California during this time knows something about
all this.

 

 I think the more lures I cast out the better my chances, which is why I
have posted this on 3 different forums, the mailing list and have sent out
mailers.  

 

  Thanks again Warren!

 

  Rich had mentioned finding a link on the HAMB forum.  Here is a link to
the thread I started on the HAMB forum about a week or two ago:
