Hi....for the book that I'm writing, a friend hooked me up with Bob Johnson, the hi-po manager at Scuncio Chevrolet in Rhode Island. He's somewhat of an unsung hero in the Supercar world.
I wanted to see how I could get him to go to MCACN, but I've become aware there's something more important than that:

Bob suffers from Parkinson's, but it's not the usual tremors that we generally associate with the disease - it affects his speech, among other things. It's debilitating in a way that I never imagined.
When I visited Bob, I was surprised to learn that he was not so much in-the-know with the hobby - aside of a book full of VINs and communication with collectors who have consulted with him in the past, he wasn't aware of MCACN, he didn't receive any subscriptions (I bought him <span style="font-style: italic">Super Chevy</span> and <span style="font-style: italic">MCR</span>), and he didn't even have an email address (can't remember if he even had a computer).
If the timing is right for you, please consider helping this humble nice man.
Full disclosure: I don't know the person running the GoFundMe account and have had no communication with her, although I did reach out to her on Facebook to learn more - still waiting, but not everyone is a diligent FB user.
PS> If there's a better way to handle this, apologies in advance, and please let me know.
