Re: NOS parts
Like many others, I have known Bob Jones for decades. I always made a point of going by and visiting with him at Carpenter's if I was passing through the Charlotte area. It was always a worthwhile visit, he always asked how my wife was doing, and I even got out of there a few times without buying anything. The NOS area of Carpenter's was a gathering place for quite a few regulars the day or so before the big Charlotte swap meet. It was the only time some of us got to see each other that year. For his sake, I am pleased that he is retiring. As with the rest of us he is not getting any younger and there is a lot to be said for stepping away from working at some point.
