So I got to meet Jonah at Luray. He was out with his brother driving his T. Great guy and very well spoken.

Jonah is the answer for future energy crisis with the demand coming on for all electric vehicles!

Met the young man, what a ball of energy! Harness it and you have 20 nuclear reactors!

Polite, professional, and very high respect for his elders! Let’s foster this young man in anyway possible. I was skeptic at first ( just me ) but I am a believer in him now!

All the Very Best,

Humbled Hank Lee

Robert

You captured Micah, the little brother of Jonah.

Here’s Jonah and dog, Princess, who drove perhaps 100 laps around the VFW field!

Nice young man for sure, helpful too, plus Micah worked as a parts dragger, for some needing assistance, but he enjoyed too riding his bike too. Jonah was given a few newer pieces for his touring, I donated a set of rusty original hub caps for the toothless wire wheels.

If you look hard in the picture you'll see him giving his brother some instruction on how to drive. Glad to see everyone helping out. I saw him helping someone loading a rear end in a truck.

We hired Micah to search out some parts and he did some take apart for us for a reasonable rate. He is a great young man, very industrious and just a great kid. His parents ought to be proud of both of these boys! We were very impressed. Hope they come back next year!

It always makes me feel so good to find a "good kid" these days! Happy and proud to have these young guys in our hobby!

We've got a few "good ones" in our chapter as well. So proud of them!!!
