Wow,
I an glad some people are finally getting around to kicking in on the deal, but I do see some mis-conceptions stated above. For one, I had been under the assumption for the past five years that the Texas Cobra club was formed at the first event held in Austin and was founded by ALL those in attendance- not just three people! I am aware of a lot of planning that went on in planning that event as I was in attendance at quite a few meetings as were others from the Dallas area that had already formed a group of people with a love of these cars that got together on an informal basis. To say the club was started by three people is a false statement, but that really has no relevance to anything.
What we do need to address is a common fault to most-if not all of us, and that is procrastination! We are all guilty of it somewhere, sometime and this is the root of this issue! Not all people access the internet, some don't read, some don't care, some are selfish, and some mean well but will "do it tomorrow"!
Well, I do remember a very good friend I met about three weeks after I got my car(10-20-1999) who was also a founding member of this club, and since he can no longer attend, I have just written another check to Tom to add to this fund for him, in memory of Dick Flesher! (check # 5462- mailed 12-16-2003)
Now, how about the rest of you procrasting out there, when will YOU pick up your pen for the first time??
