I would be the first to step up and volunteer to work an afternoon at the
cemetery
as a way to mend fences with the crew and owner(s). Actions speak louder
than words.

Jeff,
Thanks for the heads up on this (and thanks for talking with me this
morning). I've posted something on my site to help spread the word and I
also forwarded this to another bike community email list (Shift).
Here's my story.

(btw, if you'd like your comments to be seen by a larger part of the
community than the OBRA list I encourage you to leave them on my site).
Thanks.
--Jonathan
