Fellow 928 enthusiasts, I have some sad news regarding my friend and nearby neighbor, Earl Gillstrom. Earl's wife of over 50 years, Teri Gillstrom passed away early Friday morning. She had been battling Alzheimer's with Earl's help for nearly a year, and later developed an aggressive form of cancer that was diagnosed about 2-3 months ago. She had been a dedicated supporter of Earl's work on MANY 928's in their attached garage over the past 15 years or so, and helped him many times when he needed 4 hands instead of just 2. She will be greatly missed for her joyful personality by all who knew her, as well as by Earl.

IF any of you wish to make a donation in her memory, please contact me by direct e-mail, using the word 'donation' in the subject line. I'll respond with information about the special needs school that Earl and Teri were connected with, and where Earl would prefer any contributions be sent. My direct e-mail is: kittyandgary 'at' verizon 'dot' net

PS: See my post at the top of page two, about 15 posts down, for how to contribute directly - via check or credit card.

Gary, would it be worthwhile to start a new thread asking the 928 group to contribute to a group gift in Teri's honor instead of individual contributions? Seems like a great opportunity for us to thank Earl and honor his wife.
