Josh...Josh....could this be the grandson of Jim Golden in KS?  If so, the Thatcher car is in loving hands from a long background of Letterness.  Josh Mishler?

Hello Warren,
 
 Thank you for your reply.  I have attempted to trace ancestry of Norm and
is 2 top mechanics.  The first mechanic was a Mr. Norm Sthiles.  I was able
o get into contact with a family member in Nevada, however Mr. Sthiles died
ast June.  I also dug for information on Bill LaRoy.  He was the main guy
oing hands on work on this car and on later Norm Thatcher cars.  I finally
iscovered his brother's widow, who put me in contact with her son.  Sadly
ill passed away a few years ago as well.  As of yet the families haven't
een able to contribute and information. but I am still trying.
 
  Norm Thatcher's family is next.  I did some basic searches, but nothing
olid yet.   It was easier to track the other families due to the more
istinct names.  I have spent a ton of hours on the phone so far but I think
t will pay off in the end.  Even confirming their passing is at least a
tart.  I have found a reference to Norm by a Sherwood K, but even with the
lub directory he is proving hard to get a hold of.  I am hoping maybe
omeone else who lived in California during this time knows something about
ll this.
 
 I think the more lures I cast out the better my chances, which is why I
ave posted this on 3 different forums, the mailing list and have sent out
ailers.  
 
  Thanks again Warren!
 
  Rich had mentioned finding a link on the HAMB forum.  Here is a link to
he thread I started on the HAMB forum about a week or two ago:

  THANKS!
