I actually meant to make a reply before!
I just got off the phone with DV/Ed after about an hour. As I believed before, he is a man of great compasion. He could not take having something happen to one of his guests.
Risk is a choice that all of us accept daily. We base that risk on what we know. It seems that we don't know all the risk. Therefore we may not make good risk vs. benefits decisions.
I feel, **** I believe, that what began as a chocolate chip cookie bake off and became the DVSF should not die. I am very pashioniate about it. And believe me, not all well founded............. just ask DV
DVSF is not my creation. I could never hope to create such a thing. But I recognize its beauty. It is not a competitive event. No racing, no 'best of' trophies. No 'buy this from me'. No 'give us your money'.
A simple thing based on a simple principle. People, of a common bond, getting together to share their passion for a little car with each other and all new friends. All the while helping others. A win-win if I have ever heard of one.
I am passionate about this. Enough to be angry, hurt, disappointed beyond belief. This is a unique event that is meant to be continued. The thought of it ending is hurtful.
But alas it is not mine. Wish it was. Would I make the same call. I don't know. DV has information that all of us may not be aware of. If we knew everything he does................. would we make the same decision? Don't know. But I do know that it is not mine to make.
LONG LIVE THE FLING!!!!!!!!!!!
