Title: Big thank you to Joe A.
Post by: BaronYoungman on August 10, 2021, 20:31:00

I recently took the family out to pick up a much-needed piece from Joe Alexander. If you haven't met Joe he is a great guy and a treasure trove of information. The weather was not very cooperative but as usual Joe's hospitality was! He had some patches for the kids and great ideas on what we could do while in the area. If you ever get there, the Columbus Zoo is very impressive. So I just want give Joe some credit he is such an asset to this organization. Bob

I haven't met Joe, but look forward to that.  And if I may I'd like to add on - a big thanks to Baron Youngman for helping me out with a rebuilt short fuel pump and bracket.  So grateful Bob!

I have a fan like that in my garage, to move the paint overspray towards the extraction filters and away from the car I am painting.

But back to the topic at hand - yes, Joe A is one of the few people without whom this group would not be what it is today. Good of you to call that out Baron!

I met Joe at Pub Virginia and saw first hand his knowledge and willingness to share and help you in any way he can! Also had Bob rebuild my fuel pump and he did a great job. Both guys are so good at what they do!!

I meet Joe the first time in Virginia at our 50 Anniversary together in 2013. We all parked on the Saturday at the hotel parking lot and looked at each others cars and chatted with one another as is custom at our events. I had problems to take down my softtop it was stuck in the half way closed position. Joe with his dad came to the rescue and put the stuck softtop away for me. I was very thankful to Joe and his dad.

I knew then that he and his dad were very knowledgeable people and shared this knowlage freely with everyone. This became more and more evedent with each PUB event I attended, Joe is truly one of the founding Fathers of this group and offers his help whenever he can. One can see this at every event we have is hands are constantly under Members hods checking or adjusting something. He truly is one of the most valuable Members of our group.

Thank you Joe for all you do!

Dieter
