Re: IML: Dick? A Proposal...

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Gee Robert! Thanks for putting me in there with Dick, at least on the 
'60 Imperial. I probably don't deserve it, but like you, I had done the 
majority of work myself, back when I was driving Imperials for regular 
transportation, and no one else would/could work on them. Experience is 
the best teacher.

Funny thing about Dick, he remember's my Uncle Tony who owned a couple 
GULF gas stations in New Jersey in the 1950's. Dick's father's company 
did business with my uncle, and my uncle let Dick use the lift to work 
on his cars! Talk about a small world!

Well spoken Jack!

 

I really fully agree with you, imagine my case: I live in a foreign 
country (the Netherlands) far away from you US guys.

Nobody in my country have ever seen a 60 Imperial before or understand 
them, and since I do all the work on my car myself Dick's words of 
whisdom are a gift from heaven!

 

His hints and tips (together with the other outstanding expert on 60 
Imperials: Paul Wentink) and all the other helpfull guys on the list 
keep my Imperial in fine condition.

I am really proud to be one of " the list" and I am sure it will only 
be a temporarily leave with regard to that " unsubscribe" message of 
Dick!

 

Robert

Fellow Imperialist's:

 

    I have come to know Dick via this mystery of technology -to this 
Polock it still is- and have had as a result many exchanges which were 
heavily weighted in my favor, for he was giving away freely what the 
finest of school's could never teach nor offer:  life experience with 
engineering long since forgotten or deemed as unnecessary by too 
many.  With today's youngsters now unwilling to learn by hand in this 
want-it-now world, it was a dream to have a man of his character and 
willingness 'behind' me;  just another electrical impulse from 
thousands of miles away sharing a love affair with old steel cars, 
bound together through a common interest list as I undertook my first 
Imperial [for the record, the 1956 Imperial is his favorite year], and 
yet he treated me as if I grew up next door on his mountain, and 
knowing he could be counted on for an intelligent answer to the most 
minutiae of problems was/is gold in the bank and one of the main 
reasons I persevered. 

 

    I am with Gary and would hope the Club Powers That Be politely 
REFUSE this request and offer him "Member Emeritus" status on whatever 
terms he desires......and if it is necessary Dick to leave, I already 
miss your kilowatts of electrical wisdom and old car enthusiasm.......
