He called me earlier this week and said he's back at work (I don't have details as it was on my cell in a marginal service zone). I'm sending him a bunch of old shocks in unknown condition and we're going to see what he can do. Right now he's working on his backlog.

in my mind, if something like that happened to me, i'd grab my shotgun, go kick
down the door, and just start shooting. In real life I couldn't do that. just call
911 and hope for the best.

BTW...they like their drugs out here on the left coast and (get this)have businesses all over the neighborhoods that sell that crap....and they have BIG green crosses at the front of the business that plainly adverts for the drugs !!
Part of the reason the Victorian age was like it was was because those Victorians had seen human nature at it's lowest. With no FDA, no drug laws, no government restraint AT ALL, the Victorians put social morays in their place instead. We may be, perhaps should be put back to that era.

One was publicly ostracized if one was found on drugs or drug reliant.

This is the age of "a gentleman's word is his bond" for a reason. The Victorians had to know among themselves who exactly they could trust - and they relied on reputation.

Think the attitude of "that old psalm singing bitch" Rose Sayer (played by Katherine Hepburn) in "The African Queen."

"Miss, It ain't NATURAL" (for me not to be inebriated says Charlie Allnutt)

"Nature, Mr. Allnutt, was put here for mankind to rise above."

It would seem in the case of Mr. Paul that some have not risen too far. And that rule of might and not rule of right rules some still.

A few weeks back, I called and left a message for Mr. Paul offering my thoughts/prayers and to see if I could be of help in any way. He returned my call a short time later and said he was indeed back at work and was very touched by the gesture.

I think he'd appreciate knowing that the Model A community is 'rooting' for him...if you get a chance, give him a call.

Just curious - Is this Robert Paul related to the Paul family that once had a Model A restoration business in Chicopee Massachusetts ?

Anybody hear any new news? I'm pondering having him do my shocks - talked to him in early spring, just wanted to see if he looks to be back in business and 'catching up' on his backlog. I left a message on his phone as well.

B&S

I recently got my set from him, ordered before the unfortunate rip-off. No problems now, very happy. Glad he is doing OK.
