Message-ID: exc2.acs.rochester.edu> From: "Mahoney, John" <jmahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx'" Subject: While Date: I learned that, of three people "present at the creation" of what surely was the most exciting --- at least to late-sixties/early-seventies AMC lovers --- era in American Motors' history, only one had ever been approached by an AMC hobbyist-type (leader, author or just fanatic AMC fan) to tell their tales of "back when." I learned a little --- or a lot --- from all three of them. (And I didn't meet them anywhere in AMC land...) Elsewhere I learned that, on what surely was the most important vehicle --- save Rambler, Hornet and Gremlin --- in modern AMC history, so much was still unwritten and/or unspoken that I found myself just "truckin'" (and I do trucks the way I do trains --- as an interested, but totally uninformed bystander...) back to the world of "AMC then." I learned a little --- or a lot --- about Jeep's Cherokees. (And I didn't find that trail in an AMC atlas ...) Most of all, I learned that there's still much to be learned, whether American Motors' ship is slowly sinking or it has been sunk for decades. Someday, someone might enjoy learning what I learned as well. =================== John ~~! It's more like The Posiden Adventure .......... with Shelly Winters .......all over again ! Brien.
