[SilverStreak] Re:The passing of Bob Ashby....



Tom -

Thank you so much for the update.  This news saddens me as I had the most 
wonderful visit with Bob, Wanda and you on April 5th 2004 at Bob's home in 
Conroe.  It makes me feel very thankful that I had that wonderful visit now!

I did write Bob and Wanda upon my return home and sent them a photo that I 
took of them together in front of my Silver Streak.  That will be a priceless 
treasure for me now as I viewed Bob as a true mentor.  He was such a generous 
man.  He gave me a vent cover in anodized gold for my refrigerator compartment 
that I promptly installed when I returned home to Denver.  He would not hear of 
taking anything for it but simply said that it would make my trailer "shine 
just a little more."

I  took every piece of Bob's advice for detailing my trailer per his 
specifications and advised him that I had completed those items when I returned with 
great results. Bob and I had several conversations over the phone through the 
last year and he provided so much information about Silver Streak and its 
history.   He will be greatly missed but never forgotten by those who knew him. I 
know that Bob helped many of us make our trailers "shine just a little more."

Sincerely and with great respect,
