[NJSBMWR] Fwd: [skylandsbmwriders] Dave and Ellen

[rds335i]

Many of you know Dave and Ellen. They are apparently leaving the area to be closer to their children.
A fitting tribute, I think, by Skylands.

I have great memories of those meetings, starting with warm greetings from the proprietors, to kicking the tires in the showroom and the convenience of picking up parts from Ellen at the counter.  On top of that, riding an airhead at the time and being able to pick the brain of the “airhead guru” was definitely a bonus.

> On another level, Dave and Ellen were the foundation and conscience of the club, always there to help out and offer guidance from their vast experience.  Dave never wanted to be president but he always stepped up for the other board positions, always willing to do whatever was necessary.  I think this attitude is at the core of what the club is today and why it continues to attract the best people I’ve ever met.
