Rick,
I think you're right on target. There are times when subjects spiral out of control, the heat gets turned up and unfortunately the typewritten word doesn't express the authors intent but the one quality that constantly returns is the baseline concern for each and every person that we encounter. We have a tendency to easily forget who was there when the times turned bad and when the support team actively became involved in helping someone in need. Many of us have been around for awhile and have shared in burying hatchets albeit in a few craniums but mostly in the archives. These cars are the greatest conduits to friendships that I've ever encountered and though I strongly disagree with some of the "originators opinions" I appreciate more what his visions created.
