Title: Thanks for the memories...
Post by: mbflemingkf on December 27, 2013, 05:08:19 PM
As most of you know, I've had my parts and literature "hobby" up for sale.  Time and space dictated the "hobby" move to a new household and new excitement.   ::)

I'm pleased to announced my inventory is moving to Les Rolf in IL! ;D   Les' e-mail address is: lrohlf@mchsi.com and he posts as "custom" on this forum.

Les may continue my web site, that's up to him.

I've vended over 20 years now actively, I guess, and have shipped many parts throughout the US and worldwide.

I'm keeping my 54 Kaiser Manhattan  ;) (engine just rebuilt and transmission is underway!) and parts I've hoarded over the years for this model.  I see this one taking me into the sunset...NOT that that I'm that old, mind you, but the old drive to sell parts and literature has wained.

Likely you'll still see an occassional ad in the KFOCI bulletin as stuff keeps following me home...

Hope to see you at the National this year, and thanks for your business over the years!!

Tarheel Kaiser Frazer...OUT!     :D

Mike

Thanks for the info Mike. And thanks to Les for taking over. Keep in mind if you  have KF (or any marque) radios which need to be tested/repaired, I can do that.
On another note, and I didn't know if I should start a new thread for this, but it was a very sad day for us as we laid my father-in-law to rest today. He was out shoveling his driveway on Dec 5 when he fell and hit his head receiving a severe head injury. At first he was lucid and knew everybody but just in a lot of pain. Unfortunately, he just kept going down hill and last Saturday, Dec 21, he passed away. The Mrs. and I have been dealing with that for these past few weeks. One upside is that on Nov 30, just 6 days prior, we celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and it was a very good day and celebration. He was 84 and lived/had a great life but will be missed just the same. If we need a separate thread for this Mike, let me know I don't want to highjack yours but I did want to mention this.

Thanks - the kind words/thoughts are appreciated.  He was special man and used to regale me with the story of how he and his brother took a road trip in a '51 Kaiser years ago.  Of course I gave him a ride in the one I once had.
He was a very loved man.

Mike - congratulations and thanks for all you have done over the years, I know I benefited from your inventory many times since 1990, much appreciated.

Lowell - condolences to you and yours  While in Ga last week, Diane's 94 yr old Aunt passed two days before we had to fly back north, after having a series of strokes since Thanksgiving.

Thanks tq, as if it wasn't all over yet, Katheryn's aunt passed away this morning. This means in the last 60 days my mother-in-law lost a brother, her husband and her sister. It's probably a good thing that she has Alzheimer's and doesn't really understand any of it. Here's wishing everyone a good 2014.
