I never personally met Dick Barker. I did however have correspondence with
him when I bought my Tiger. The car had been stored at Smitty's and he was
familiar with it. Dick took the time to relay a rather amusing story of how
this near basket case was brought to Smitty's and the PO had thought $5,000
would have restored it. Thus, when Dick found out the car had gotten into
my hands he seemed to take an interest in this extensive project.
I certainly appreciated his encouragement knowing the task that lay ahead.
Even after he left the list as a regular I sporadically heard from him and
again his words encouraged. My condolences to his family and friends who
knew him well.
Tom
