WHO KNEW !!! ol' ron has a special birthday coming up next tuesday, april 16th. he happens to be 1 year younger than our beloved flat-head v/8. without his permission i am going to list contact information. home phone, 802-875-2140. if you call, DO NOT mention the word "camshaft" or you won't be able to pay your phone bill. ron loves camshafts. snail-mail, ron holleran, 390 green mtn. turnpike, chester, vermont 05143. i know he would get a real kick out of some cards on this very special day. e-mail, ron258@vermontel.net i personally want to thank you guys in advance for anything you can do in this effort. ron has been a dear friend, not to mention my flat-head and ardun mentor for over 25 years. thanks guys and girls. george perry
 
He won't be your friend for long when he sees you put his phone number on the internet.
Some people don't have enough brains to pour p**s out of a boot.
 
It's late at night and not too many people have seen this...edit out the phone#, the e-mail, and home address before too many weirdos see it.
 
boy do you guys on the west coast have a different mindset than those of us in the east! if i thought that ron would have minded, i wouldn't have posted the info to begin with. and yes, i have posted it before, all in an effort to try and help raise ron's spirits. any "wacko" adversity that may come from this, i know will be dealt with by ron in his good natured way. :)
 
Arkusvt:
It's clear that you mean well and feel this will be fun. However, your act is clearly done for yourself, not for Ron. You may have posted his contact information in the past, but that does not make it right. As others have already stated, you are setting Ron up for some pretty nasty headaches through your insensitive, immature act. If you view Ron as a friend, edit out the contact information, immediately.
 
Well thanks guys, but I don't think my friend George had any animosity in posting my vitials. George basicly gave me my start in the Flathead world as we know it today, I was a recovering alcoholic working in a body shop, when in walked this bearded fellow asking if anyone knew anything about Flatheads. That was the beginning of a great relationship. I put togerther a coupla engines for him and he suggested I write a book about them. And that as they say is history. Over the years I've trie to make up for some of my past transgressions, by helping people and if someone wants to call, email or whatever, to tell me I'm an *** h*, so be it, I try not to judge people and sometimes I can be kinda gruff, I mean well. Like that teacher you had in school that gave you a ration of SH** every once in awhile. I do my best to help. So don't be so hard on George, he's getting old too.
 
I know George meant no harm, Ron I thought I'd help keep your spam box a little cleaner. I meant no offense either, to you George.

Happy Birthday Ron!
 
Ol' Ron,

Every year on my birthday (April 16th) I give you a Happy Birthday wish. I hold you responsible for sparking my interest and confidence in building flats. The name Ron Hollarand can be found on my book shelves. I appreciate yours and the others that contribute your time knowledge to help us less experienced.

Here are two I built with your books nearby. 8 more to go.

Have a Happy Birthday.

Ron, happy birthday! Your a great guy, and you live up to your ideals. Of all us long time Barner's, I think you are the only one who never, not once, ever pissed anyone off or offended them in any way. Your a true gentleman.
 
Ron, thanks for all your posts (books). They are invaluable. Best wishes. Hope posts cause you no trouble.

I always perk up when I see a post by Ol Ron, even if I am not into hot hot engines. He always has good things to help out his hobby. Happy Birthday OL RON!! Byron.
 
Happy Birthday Ron!

I was hacked once by someone located in the far east. It's crumby having to get everything, passwords, accounts etc. changed. Not to mention the telemarketing calls or additional junk mail.
 
Have a happy birthday Ron. I enjoy your posts and have your book. It is interesting, just this morning I was paging through the book as a reference and figured I should go though and read it again. Seems that I forget things faster than I can remember. ;) Maybe I will have to do that this weekend.

Thanks again,

Neal
