Hello Everyone!!
First of all let me THANK each and everyone, for your INCREDIBLE show of
concern, towards one of our own, Dale Akazewski (misspelled again Oh well!!)
I have received well over 40 Emails as well as calls from the masses out
there, I have been joined in my effort by fellow TIGER man and racer Al
Denson, he has made a HUGE effort and contacted all the local associations
such as VARA, and the SHELBY club and such.
Their concerns are also amazing to say the least.
It looks like the CAT Warehouse is having a Swap Meet on April 4th, and
apparently this event will take place there, as not to have to much at one
time in several locations.
I will know more tomorrow, and will update you all further.
As to the back East folks who offered to send parts for this event I will
have them sent to me, and I will transport to the event and take full
responsibility for them.
Now on to Dale, he was under the knife again today, he had major back
surgery, to remove a cyst on his lower spinal column, he also ended up
having the Herrington rod procedure, where support rods are installed to
strengthen the back bone and vertebrae ( I had this done as well).
He will hopefully recover fast from this (wishful thinking) and then on to
the left hip replacement...
This poor guy has much ahead to go through, and a long recovery to boot.
I once again apologize for the long note, but many asked me to post updates.
Also Al Denson spoke to Dale's accountant today, Mario Veltri part of the
SAC (Shelby American Club) and he will be opening a special account in
Dale's name to deposit the ultimate funds in to.
I will give you an update on that as well.
Once Dale is back home I will try to organize a FUN RUN where us local folks
meet, have breakfast and then caravan out to Dale's home, as a surprise, I
will let Diane his wife know of course, and lift his spirits even higher.
I will for fun have a HUGE check made up, like the Publishers Clearing house
ones, and balloons etc.. and this ought to get him very HAPPY..
Again THANK YOU to all for your help and concern, us TIGER folks are THE
BEST!!!
Warmest regards, Jan Harde....
