Again, goes to my point. Ned has had other income. To my mind, one needs to be thinking about the succession plan now, while he is still in good shape and able to pass what amounts to a lifetime of knowledge on to the next keeper of the flame. Establishing a Foundation to at least offer a stipend to the next person to offset some of the time they spend on this work that could have otherwise been spent making money...even if it is not enough to create a salaried position, it would help. I have been a car guy all my life...I have spent a lot of time on it. My wife would say I have spent a LOT of time on it. And I am quite sure I have not put anywhere near the time in that Ned has. This is a Hurculean task...I might be wrong, there might be a bevy of suitably wealthy enthusiasts waiting in the wings. But ten years from now is not the time to find out if that is right or not.
