I have something special, and I'm sure others would like to chime in. We can do it at the Monster Mopar in Norwalk this September. What do you guys think? any chance of having his Challenger there?

I have a Great Lakes Chapter of Moparts, Unlawfl Moparts poster signed by many, many Moparts members. Most of whom signed it when I had it on my black 71 4 speed Satellite at Norwalk 7 years ago. I'd like to give it to her, plus get some more signatures. I hope they can be there.

Quicksilver440 I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 10,766 Central Valley, CA.	Wow...10 years. I remember where I was when I heard the news. I was an inspector on a Asphalt paving job when the contractor (who was also a Moparts member) came up to me and told me....and I live in CA. I never met Gary in person...but it still had quite the impact on me. The Moparts family was particularly tight back then (imho)....and Gary was a part of that. He was a great guy...we exchange a lot of friendly PM's back then. Rob

Maybe have it on display by the gas pump or somewhere up front, not too far for everyone to see it. I'll bring over the banner early. Maybe we can have a specific photo-op time in between the rounds? Josh already said he's up for whatever Russ or family agrees on. Thanks, Josh. Join the quickest team in motorsports. Team FireCore. CustomWiresets.com

He was a great guy...we exchange a lot of friendly PM's back then. Never were truer words written. Rob never were truer words written. I never met gary either but i'd like to think we were friends through Moparts. As i sit back and think where i was 10 years ago, and how much life has changed for me, i also thing about how i changed my life. It was one of the defining moments that I realized you never know when it is your turn, so make the most of every minute you have in this great life. For a lot of us, Moparts is our second family. Strangers connected through a common interest. Most of us would drop whatever we had going on to help another in need. The proverbial shirt off our back. Gary was the poster child for that. That he was a public servant made his passing that much more senseless. Officer Davis, you are clear from duty. 68 AMX mopars red headed stepchild 69 Dart GT Convertible 340 4 speed 71 Challenger - looks like the avatar!
