[FC] a public THANK YOU

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

Hey guys and gals,
I want to share with y'all a short story about something that happened to me 
when I first got to the convention site tuesday afternoon... we had been in 
and around the hotel looking at cars and trucks and vans and parts and seeing 
people and toys and all sorts of stuff... after about 4+ hours Cheryl & the 
girls are getting a little bored, and  its about dinner time, so we go out to her 
van... only to find I'd left the headlights ON and the battery DEAD! Yeah, 
stupid me... I'd forgotten to turn them off after going through a construction 
area... We went back in and I'm "quietly" looking for someone with jumper cables 
to start her van (96 Nissan Quest)... I happen to be in the room where Seth 
is selling his wires and I mention it to a friend and this fellow overheard 
what I said... "I have some cables" he said... I'd never met the guy, didn't know 
him, and the name didn't even ring a bell... but he took me out to his 
beautiful Greenbrier, drove it out to Cheryl's van and jump started it... he even 
told me to hang onto the cables until I get a replacement battery! (We had 
gotten the current battery at Chambersburg last August on our way back from Maine, 
and that time Ben Stiles had given us a jump. Cheryl was a little relieved we 
hadn't seen Ben that afternoon, or else he'd think we ALWAYS have battery 
trouble in Pennsylvania.)...
We drove straight to Chambersburg and replaced the battery, and I had 
intended to thank the kind soul wednesday while I was there and to return his jumper 
cables... I didn't see him until later that evening at the VV meeting, but the 
crowd cleared out so fast I didn't get to catch him... same thing at the 
Corvanatics meeting.... so I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to GREG WALTHOUR in 
Virginia... he came to my aid without a second thought, and for that I'm very 
greatful.
I owe ya one...
Thanks again, 
Lonzo
