Although I didn't know Wes personally, he spend time with me answering newby questions, and even some free advice on the phone. In Dallas, many know the Saturday Hangout at his shop. I don't know how long he's been in business but it wouldn't surprise me it someone said 20+ years. He is the classic old timer Porsche mechanic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
Last time I went by, there must have been a couple of 911's and about 6 914 in the door. I heard he was in Hospice, and Ron stopped by his shop to find out the straight. He is in remission from Prostrate Cancer, and recently fell and broke a hip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Now in rehab. Ron or someone local to Plano can add more details here and possibly a photo or 2 of his shop. I doubt he has email but it would be a nice gesture to mail a get well card or 2, with THANKS for all the work he's done for the local 914 community. I know it's a hassle to go get a stamp but.... Let's send him some Porsche Cheer! H & H Enterprises Wes Hildreth, Chief Mechanic and Porschefile 902 Ave K, Ste. 100B Plano, TX 75074 |

My boss just went thru this. Early 50s. Diagnosis. Chemo. Remission. Spread to hip. Surgery. Death. I've heard of false positives with PSA. I can deal with that. How about false negative? Does that happen too?
