Robbing people of money, sure.. at some point forgiveness and moving on is important, because it is just money. but that’s not the core of the betrayal here in my opinion, Greg lost time, and all the money in the world can’t buy more and that’s not something that should be forgiven
I hope I didn’t speak out of hand, just my interpretation of the events

Very well stated in my opinion. I'm sure Greg can give to s#!t's less about the money and more about his time loss and wanted to see the car finished. He's made many references to this. Glad you got to see it finished and on the track tearing things up too.

Greg,
How are you feeling? Are you still trying to make the 6-7 Jul event at Sonoma? If you think you will make it, I may try to join you. I will be in Southern California, and I think I will fly out - the traffic was brutal for that last trip! (But worth the effort!)

Pappy —- My plan is to be there —— I have a surgical procedure on the 3rd — will fly to Oakland on the 5th. Getting in about 1:00 - hope to get over to Sonoma and see Darrell if he’s still there. With rentals etc - who knows.
Adrienne and I will try to head up to “our spot” on Saturday... Seems to be a pretty good spot to watch the action.
As far as my health goes — it’s just plain terrible.... I will not improve - I will not feel well - and each day I get out of bed is not a step towards recovery. Each day that passes is just another step closer to the end. THAT will not keep me from keeping on!! I will push to do whatever it is I can do... until I can’t.

We should all take inspiration from you buddy. I know I do.
Make the most of every day, because none of us know what lies ahead.
Nobody should sit around and wait for things to happen. Do whatever we can do, every day, to make things happen, until we can’t.

Best wishes to you Greg, and family.
I'll be in the Bay area this weekend, and although I have made plans, I'll see if we can make a detour up north to see you and the rest of the gang at Sonoma.
