We lost one of our best......

Thanks Robert Houston...we (a lot of us)  buried Uncle Jack yesterday in 
Geneseo, Illinois.  Jack & were best friends for 20 years with nary an unkind 
word 
between us.  He sustained me when I was unwell, and gave me direction when I 
needed support.

We worked together on many projects, and traveled extensively, most of which 
had to do with Triumphs and Triumph people.

I did post something on the big TR list last week, but didnt think it was 
widely read or that it didnt make it through cyberspace.

For those that are going to join us at Watkins Glen 3-7 September we will be 
memorializing Uncle Jack in the Triumph Paddock and on the Track. Please join 
us on Saturday evening, if not throughout the weekend.

Regards,

Joe Alexander
Friends of Triumph.
