Re: Galen Govier - A Story you probably haven't heard

[Bob Talley <rtalley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since Galen is not a member of this list perhaps we should
arrange to give him the chance to defend himself. Doesn't seem fair
to hear only one side or third party stories.

In full disclosure I have known Galen about 20 years,
not as a close friend but just from car events. He has never
done anything that I am aware of that I would find offensive
and he certainly has added a lot to the Mopar car hobby.
Particularly note the recent article in MCG where he gives
some VIN info on phony cars.

In my opinion it would be stupid to try some of the stunts
mentioned when you are trying to develop a solid reputation
that is important to his business.
