Curly, You bring back memories. I hadn't thought about the old days for quite a while. I remember Kathy very well and, as I recall, Kathy wasn't treated all that well back then. Regards, Addison '75 450SLC back then…. ;->)

It was the same group that ran out Kathy Kennel the original MBCA listmom (where the term listmom originated) and former MBCA Pres. I've had no contact with anyone in MBCA since then other than for contact with some former MBCA pres. exchanging Christmas cards and the like. The old group like new MBs and old, and was tolerant of those who keep em running. The new group was all about how much money they could flash, so it was new cars, and $500,000 and over new cars. At an MBCA national driving event, one of that group, watched as his wife totaled a new MB on the track, and later they were laughing about it. Destroying the car meant nothing to them. Just like throwing out a used kleenex. This was before they were part of the group that took over MBCA. It was a bloody takeover. They fired pretty much everyone on the staff. Exec. Director, Publisher, Editor etc. I did not like or approve of the changes. Kathy was a decent lady who did a lot for the club. She was not rich, and didn't drive a new MB. I believe hers was a 71, so it was not acceptable to the money crowd. Not old enough to be classic and worth over $500,000 and not new. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
