Is Ol Ron still p[laying hard to get.....
I keep waiting for Ron to show up here. Come on Ron, I know you're lurking out there. We want and need your knowlege here on the new barn.
Here's an old picture I took of Ron at York, PA in 2001. He signed his book for me and I darned near wore it out. The re-print is locked away for my grandson, for when he needs it.

Ron has been having trouble getting on due to his lack of eyesight. Ryan is going to give him a hand. Hope to see him here in a couple of days.

He is one of the very most important people on here. His sight is an obstacle to exploring a new screen setup and experimenting to figgeritout. He may need someone to visit and show him what to do, get him registered, and all that stuff. Vermont.

This will be the first year I haven't been a vendor at York for about 15 years. Always enjoyed talking to Ron at that show. He had some interesting stuff!

I met Ol' Ron there at York that same year. I must have talked to him for over an hour about Flathead engines and how I should build my 59ab. He told me to check out the Ford Barn website when I got back home and I've been reading and posting here since that day.I bought a copy of Nostalgia that Ron autographed for me. Didn't realize there was a good Chili recipe tucked in the back of the book until I finished reading it. His Chili was almost as good as his book . Like someone else said, we need to get him on board here. If someone could go up to his place and help him get signed in, that would be super!! If he is not signed up by July, maybe we can stop by his place on the Ford Barn New England Tour, help him get signed up and then eat all of his famous Chili that we can find. around there JM

Re: Is Ol Ron still p[laying hard to get.....
The July "Fordbarn Tour" has Ol' Ron's new shop as a planned stop. I'm sure people would gladly help him out, however, July is way to far away from now! There has to be someone in the VT area who can give a hand......please, please get over there...we miss the man!!!! LouB.

Paul, I downloaded that picture from someones post on the old Barn. It may have been your post and your picture , I can't remember. I think I also have one somewhere of him sitting in your roadster at one of the NE shows, maybe The Gathering of The Faithful, but I couldn't find it or I would have posted that one as well. That same picture is in the 2010 FB calendar for the month of October. Anyway, the main point of this string of posts is....WE NEED OL' RON HERE ON THE NEW BARN!! Could someone please help him get signed up? Thank you, JM

That picture of Ron is mine also. I took that two years ago at Rosner's Race Car Shop in Gil, Mass. Fred Rosner has a cruise night once a month at his shop. George Perry brought Ron down for the cruise in his Ardun powered sedan. I was hoping one of Ron's grandsons would have had him set up on the new barn, by now. We certinally need his input.

Paul: I remember having seen that picture, and being impressed by it when I first found my way into the Barn. It's still inspirational.

I feel the same way. This site is o.k. but it's just not the same place.

Give it time. It's not quite the same, but I think the content is coming around. The first week or so was just comments on the change, but now the topics are Ford related again...it's starting to feel familiar.
