BTW, could you forward me any pictures you have of James? He was notoriously camera-shy and we (his wife and family) would welcome any that are available.

As I was cleaning out his office, I ran across a couple of photos I took of him in his old 914-6, perhaps 7 years ago. I'll bring those along to the memorial as well.

Thanks,
S

I plan on attending either in my 2002 (slow so I'll be hanging back with the Fiat folks) or my truck as a Support Utility Vehicle.

Anyone who can't make it will be missed, but I hope to have some kind of event every year around this time to remember James. Maybe a fun run or (perhaps more fitting) a day wrenching on a car needing some attention.

I'll be there. Don't know if Lyn will be up for the drive....good choice on the roads..an alternate to Alpine to Pescadero would be Hwy 84 down to Stage road if you want a shorter route, then Stage N. to Hwy 1 (only about 1/2 mi.) Good choice on the pub too. The only other one I would have considered would have been the Brewpub at Princeton harbor....mmmmm Mavericks ale....I had some pics of James but a big worm ate my computer and I don't think I can recover them....a shame. Since I'm here on the coast, if you need help to set this up or anything I'd be glad to do what I can....In the spirit of James.

Pic of James and his white 914. The shadows are a bit much, sadly...

I'm bummed that I can't make it. I do promise to eventually make it to at least one of the bay area breakfasts though. I wish I was closer!

As much as I'd like to be there I can't. I considered flying down but, that just won't work. Instead I'm going to read some of James' blog and have James in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm bummed you guys can't make it. I am hoping to do more runs with the breakfasts in future tho. I'm going to do my best to step up and keep the breakfasts/lunches happening every month, so hopefully see you guys in October....


Thanks, Fiid!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thank you to Ed and Fiid for your work on getting this memorial together. Truly, the outpouring on this board has been astonishing and enormously touching. I'm glad to know that James was so affectionately known here. It is a great comfort to me and to his parents that he touched so many lives.


Welcome to the forum / club!!
No problems at all. James was always very kind, and knowledgable; a real role model. This is the least we can do!

QUOTE

I hope I'm not stepping on the good work of Fiid and Ed when I say that Mini and FIAT people are more than welcome. Please do join us for a drive and raise a glass for a dear, departed friend. I can't think of a better way to celebrate his life.


Not at all - I sent a message to Randy to ensure the message gets over to the Fiat list. I don't know anyone on the mini side (anyone??). Would it be okay if I forwarded these details over to the California Melee list (where the Alpine500 folks hang out) as well???

I sent a message off to the Bay Area Running of the Fiats (BARF) group that James was subscribed to and where his friend Patrick still participates.

Wish I could attend the memorial drive. Thanks to all those that have put this together.

Of course. Please feel free to spread the word to anyone you think might be interested or want to join.

I'll try to find the mini list. I haven't been able to bring myself to look at his computer yet.

Thanks again to everyone,

Unless it looks like rain, I'll bring the lid we've been trying to get into your hands. Jim

Booh. I can't be there. It's Rosh Hashanah on Saturday. I'll put in a good word for James though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

I still think the club should have a remembrance pin like every other cause in this country.

Here's a design proposal (rough).
