Many thanks to Ken Robinson of Traverse City Mich for putting forth that extra effort in helping me to get the door that had to be cut apart for this project to be completed. An many thanks to Kerry Pinkerton of Harvest Al. for the extreme effort that he put in to get me the door frame material, and a piece of composite siding material. Worked great. And a SUPER THANKS to Dave Roberts of Palo Ia. Dave saw the effort that would be needed to get this project done so Linda could make it to Alabama next week. He came over every day for the last 2 weeks. And put in great effort so the dead line could be met. I worked for a solid month on this project, with no time off. I new it was a BIG job before it started. Failure was not an option. We've been a member of GMCI for 10 years now. This GMC club has brought great pleasure to Linda after all that has happened to her in the last 5 years. This coach modification will ensure that we can continue to come to the GMC Rallies. And ho
pefully, this will lead others to put forth that extra effort to remain active with this GMC club. The people listed above are people that I wouldn't have ever met if it wasn't for this club. And a thank you to toughs that called and e-mailed ideas on this project. This group has been so supportive over these past 5 years with what has happened to Linda. Calls, E-mails, cards, and letters.I was in a national car club for 27 years, chaired 3 conventions, at one of thoughts conventions, I raised $20,407. for them, and served on their board of directors. During our trying times. We got nothing but trouble from that car club's board, that I put so much effort into for all toughs years. I raised $77 for them last year. And got 3 nasty e-mails from 3 of their board members as a reward. That I never understood. So, last summer I made my life better, and didn't renew my dues after 27 years. I bring this up because so many times we over look the blessing that are right in front of
us. So, thanks so much to all of you for a real great 10 years. See you in Alabama next week with the modified GMC. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale, and a few Yenko's.

Bob, your efforts on behalf of your wife are an inspiration to me (and to others, I'm sure). It could only have happened by your adoption of a "failure is not an option" philosophy, because I'm sure that there were 1,000 reasons NOT to proceed with such a radical plan.
And thanks for reminding us of what a great community we're part of. It's one of the main reasons I ended up driving a 35 year old GMC instead of something newer (and probably harder to maintain!). I also find that other car-related communities pale in comparison to this one - if I could get the kind of support I do here when asking questions about my other vehicles, I'd spend a lot less time chasing my tail.
I hope you and Linda have many, many years of great adventures with your unique coach!
