I too am happy to hear from Jane, Its been awhile but
when I think of contacting the foundation, I often
think Id like to talk to Jane, Because you always
replied to my emails, while Kennys sister Kelly rarley
replied even when I gave her 2 boxes full of stuff for
the first auction (maybe shes busy)
I have a garage full of sheetmetal from bolth cars and
the truck, firesuits,signed helmets, a never used Coca
Cola 12x24 billboard, that would look great on some
wall at the camp and even a Havoline and BellSouth
coke machine, just to name a few things Ive wanted to
give them.
Kelly said she would put all the autographed photos I
gave them on a wall with a plaque saying they came
from me but that was 4 years ago and she still hasnt
sent me the photo of that wall.
Im not mad at all, just dissapointed.
I have wanted to give them more through the years and
help put smiles on childrens faces but dont because
they dont reply to my emails, Im glad Nascar has
reconized the Foundation.
Any way I have my memories and will never forget Kenny
calling me Phoenix because he couldnt rember my name
but he knew he would see me in Phoenix at the end of
the season, where I would bug him for more photos and
autographs, the last time I saw him in Fontana
California, I didnt ask him for either,I just talked
to him and I thought Ill see him at Phoenix :(
Any way Ill never forget him and Ill continue to add
#42 to the end of my signature when I sign documents
or VISA reciepts.
Miss you Kenny, Good to hear from you Jane, and all
the rest of you its been to long, Take Care everyone
