Re: What happened to Clem ?

An anonymous benefactor was paying Clem's NCRS dues. Clem was not a NCRS member until the TDB was converted to members only. That's when an anonymous benefactor paid his dues.

He's on that other board all the time on his own dime.

Re: What happened to Clem ?

believe the "other board" is free - at least at some level - I have never paid a fee and use it a lot for C5 C6 info

Wow! Never realized NCRS was that expensive.....

[Brian M.]

Re: What happened to Clem ?

It cost $30.00 per year.

There is more than one other board, so you guys might want to be a little clearer. I doubt he is on the Corvette Forum as some time ago he had a difference of opinion with a vendor, and that was that. As for that "other" "other" board, with head in its name, I am told.that costs to join, But I don’t know for sure.

Clem is a life long friend who lives 10 miles from me. He forgot more than most of us know. But he has very thrifty.(polite word)
On the other hand he orderd a 2014 so he ain't poor. Clem used to make my Corvettes scream in the old days. JD

You have to pay to ride the train and when you take the stand that you will not pay to give your knowledge away........

Re: What happened to Clem ?

Clem has been encouraged by several members of that other board to leave them alone as he uses the same language as that Southern Cook used. He won't leave that other board so I and several others left!

Re: What happened to Clem ?

We all give our knowledge away . Some of us have more to give than others . Unfortunately thats one thing we do take with us .

Bill,

That is true! One of those was Mike Pillsbury of California! When it came to old race cars Mike was the Encyclopedia! He was my friend and I'll always miss him! Mike could have written volumes of information that would have been the inspiration of restorers worldwide! RIP Mike!

That is right Joe! We should begin interviewing and recording all of these folks who are still with us. The facts and the experiences need to live on. I remember way back when talking to Sam Foltz and Sam saying someday we will know so much more than we do now about these cars and unfortunately much of the knowledge will go with these people. We lose more every year.
