OK, I have these inspirations that often aren't. Well actually, usually aren't.

My thought is that we could do a loop of the continent by passing a memorial of some sort to the late Capn Krusty (and other passed list members) like a baton from 914 driven to 914 driven to 914.

Not sure about how closely packed we are in some places. In So Cal and Seattle you could probably just roll down your windows and pass from car to car. In Montana and Texas the ground stretches a bit longer.

Nor am I sure this is a great idea rather than just letting the memories linger as they will.

And of course it leaves out any 914 on jack stands except as a possible intermediary host. Excuse me while I duck behind the sofa of shielding while you let me know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

I have no way to implement this but I thought maybe we could ask for donations to establish a scholarship to a mechanic school in his name. Would be a lot of work but it might be something that went on for years.

I would be in on the relay.

I would be in for something along these lines seems a fitting tribute/honor
logistics would be a bitch

I would be in for the relay as well

as for the memento or "baton" -not being a welder/fabricator I imagine a simple silhouette of his avatar's iconic hat cut out of sheet metal (maybe from a 914?)'boxed' out maybe a couple few inches & painted/powdered/plated might not be too difficult
it's easy to volunteer others' time and skills but I'd be willing to help with expenses on this (or any) such project

I haven't been around here as long as most and never met John but as I said in the RIP thread his death hit me more than I would have imagined for someone I never met or had any personal interaction with and knew only through his public interactions/advice/chastisements with/for/of others
he and his family remain in my thoughts in prayers
