Default Paul Howard (AV8) Memorial "37B" Button *MS Benefit*

Chuck Vranas made some of these "37B" pins to hand out at Paul's memorial service. He and I were talking at the Art of Speed opening and both agreed that making these pins available would not only be a cool way to commemorate Paul but also a great way to raise some money in Paul's name for MS. research. Which was a cause near and dear to Paul. This week Chuck ordered 250 pins. The pin design is a photographic image of Paul's "37B" logo taken by Chuck. He has graciously picked up the cost of making these. $4 of the $5 donation will go directly to The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Greater New England Chapter in Paul's name. The left over $1 will be used to cover shipping and handling. However if you send me a "sase" the full $5 will be donated. Donations can be made via paypal to [email protected] make sure when you use paypal to click "other" and select "donation" or send sase too

I got mine in the mail the other day. My wife wanted to know what it was, so I explained who our pal here was and why I supported his charity. I didn't make it through the explanation... I broke down because it was sad to me... for me this pin is always going to remind me of just how fast you can leave this happy place, right in the middle of living life. I hope they have fun stuff like Hot rods and old cars in he place we go next, sitting around on puffy clouds ain't gonna cut it, then again I may be assuming too much about my personal plight.

Thanks for doing this Matt. I tried to meet Paul at the GNRS in January, just a few days before he passed. I never knew him, but enjoyed his posts on The Barn. I waited by his car but he didn't return. My loss........

Matt. Will you be at Ted's IGA cruise in Hebron today or Colchester on Wed if the weather
is good? Bring some pins and make yourself known.
