Pietenpol-List: Markels Piet Important please read and respond
Original Posted By: Tim Willis
Subject: Pietenpol-List: Markels Piet Important please read and respondWhat began last night and through today demonstrated to all that there is indeed a family here a tie that binds strangers to one and other to commit to each other support and comfort.As you know one of our family is faced with a need that left few alternatives and through and by that he decided to give up his dream for the goodof his family at a much greater purpose. I know Markle, I have visited with him and shared the idea of the Piet family legacy and what it means to the children and relatives who have stood by and watched, picked up a piece of sand paper a rub here and there and like magic a memory to last a life time is built, a bond across the limits and boundaries of time. One of the most fun things I have experienced is to see the joy and delight in Jim's face and eyes as the Model A comes to life and the sound fills the yard and his face with an unmistakable aura that cannot be described but only experienced.I find it impossible to see that sacrificed for what amounts to be financial decision for the here and now. We know that life turns on a time changing from day to day and crisis to crisis and some where in the middle isa glimmer of hope and light that makes the fight worth while.Many of were shocked and astounded by today's news of the Markle project announced sale and if I thought for a moment it was driven by frustration and loss of interest I world say okay he's moving on and God bless. That however is not the truth the truth is, he's taken the high road to provide forhis immediate family and in so doing is giving up the dream and family legacy for the bucks of today.So rather than go on, Ill get off the soapbox and to the point I spoke with Jim and was able to get him to hold off on the sale decision and commitment for a week. During that week he has decided to accept the offer ofa stock sale and take one partners to save the Piet , the dream and legacy. Here's where we come in. I said count me in as did many others and without hesitation we need to raise the selling price of $6000.00 to keep the Piet. Now few of us have that kind of cash in walking around money and may if not all of use are only 2 pay periods away from financial catastrophe. For many of us a few stops at the local pub, McDonalds and the all important double shot of mocha choka la tae whatever at 5 or 6 bucks a pop daily it doesn't take long to add up. Add up to the magic numbers.Here is what I am proposing, if you can pony up for 1 share at 60.00 we need only a 100 people to help naturally the more we can kick in the less the others will need to. The key is to get Jim the 6 K so how bout it?100 people at 60.00200 at 30.00300 at 20.00Realistically some of us have more disposable income than others so if we all kick in for a share the problem is solved, and Jim keeps donating his time energy blood and ambition to the Piet and the worst is we are all out a few bucks for a worthy cause. If we cant pull it off the Piet and the dream is going down the road on someone's trailer along with a big part of Jimand his legacy. As builders I think we can all appreciate the time, care, dedication and love that goes into the build. For $60.00 dollars to preserve that is a small price to pay on behalf of a friend, heck Jim and I can eat more pizza anddrink more beer than that on a night at the hanger.Jim has agreed to graciously accept our offers and be responsible for the confidential book, if we cant pull this off, and I don't see why we cant the cash gets returned to the rightful owner and the Piet goes and the effort goes down as another failed attempt at the preservation of dignity and a dream. That's the deal.Count me in for a full shareWhat are your thoughts? I am sure we can make it all pretty with certificates and that stuff but the need tonight and this week are the pledges,commitment and stock purchases.Please join me and the others to help one of our family keep the faith hope and legacy alive. I know if the roles were reversed Jim would Kick in without hesitation. Its time to share the loveThanksJohn ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:57:05 -0500 (EST)

I am in for $100 as well. Heck, I can print up a bunch of certificates as well. In 1998, she got the child support and I got the debt. I had to sell off two Taylorcraft projects, a brand new Walter Mikron and a lot of my shop tools. I have recovered most of it and then some but it took a long time and some things will never be replaced. In fact, while searching the world wide interweb a few minutes ago, I found this link to someone else that was very upset by Jim's ordeal.http://gallery.me.com/johnnyskyrocket#100017-john-John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2810 Crossroads Drive, Ste 3800Madison, WI 53718Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Jan 20, 2010, at 9:10 PM, Jack Phillips wrote:> > I'm in for $100.
