MICHAEL HANSON RIP *NM*

[Dennis C.]

If Michael Hanson was removed from this board

for his contributions to NCRS and the Corvette hobby - I am gone from this board for as long as he is. Bye, Bye... Dennis Clark

[Sydney G.]

Re: I appreciate all his postings and hard work

I agree.
Michael has been nothing short of a gentleman.

It is people like Michael who make this Society so, so special and by silencing his knowledge we as a group are shooting ourselves in the foot!
I feel very sorry and embarassed for the entire tech board community.

Re: MICHAEL HANSON

Robert,

Are you actually saying that Mike has been banned from this forum by the "Powers that be" ?

At first I thought it was a serious obit,, than a sick joke, than just a joke.
If however you are serious , I would very much like to know all the details, either here or by private email

Re: Shame, shame.

Why doesn't someone tell us what is going on?
If he is banned than I would think the rest of the membership is owed an explanation. I could have sworn this was America, did something change while I was out of the country on vacation?

What have we done? What have we become? Only time will tell. Pete

Re: Shame, shame.

I agree with Terry. Someone please "EXPLAIN" !!!

Re: MICHAEL HANSON

Bob said in a personal email to me that he can no longer reply on the forum,as it appears that he is cut off as well. R.I.P Bob

Is there anyone who knows Michael personally , that can contact him and post us with the facts ?

I am finding this all very hard to believe, and like Terry Deusterman says , if he is banned we should all know why . If for no other reason , then at least to know what not to do or say ,lest we suffer the same fate !

Re: If Michael Hanson was removed from this board

If Dennis Clark can't understand the reason for an NCRS member to not be heard from and Dennis is one of the most respected people in NCRS than what can be said for our fate.............. By the way, who has the power to ban people in the NCRS organization? Ive never read an NCRS member ban list in any NCRS publication. We all enjoy the cars but remember without the members there will be no cars. Stop chasing people away. Iron out the problems.

Re: Shame, shame.

Well, it seems a lot of people are taking a walk. See Joe #930 post above... Adios.

Re: Shame, shame.

Robert, Just came from a Pittsburgh chapter board meeting and read the bad news. I for one will miss Michael as his vast knowledge and huge photo collection of 63's and later midyears were an asset to all of us. Michael went way out his way assist the '63 ownerers achive perfection. The news that Michael is no longer a board member really saddens me deeply. From the few posts I have read in the last 20 minutes I see it has upset a lot of other well know NCRS members and just plain old Corvette lovers.
Don't know why this happened though. Michael is my good friend. A special friend as you are Bob.
I must have printed at least a 100 photos that Michael posted on the DB. Maybe more. When I sent him photos of my engine compartment of my freshly restored '63 FI car he wrote back to me and said could really see his imput in the final outcome. That's why I only lost 8 lousy points on my engine compartment.
It seems in life when you have something good that somehow it gets taken away.
I will include Michael in my prayers tonight and personally send him a long thankyou letter in the morning. Take care and keep in touch via email. Your friend and Michaels, John E. DeGregory

Re: MICHAEL HANSON

I've been saving all of his recent threads and updating my Judging Guide as I'm about to start my resto project after years of collecting parts and research. I went back and re-read all the post and don't understand what was said that was inappropriate in those threads. It must have been something else that we are not priviledge to. I for another hope that cooler heads prevail and he is reinstated back to the board. His knowledge and passion for these cars will surely be missed by me.

Re: Shame, shame.

Why wont someone step up and offer an explaination of what is going on here? I really want to know what is happening before I make any judgements. I hope this turns out to be a misunderstanding as I really like to read Michaels posts.

Re: MICHAEL HANSON

Robert, I grew up with Mike and we've known each other for about 50 years. I think you and I met once several years ago. I believe it was during the time that Mike was still judging at Bloomington.

Count me in on this statement also. Where is the administrator? Where is the real story? We just got Roy back. Don't make us go begging again.

Re: MICHAEL HANSON RIP

Something is weird here. He just posted yesterday. There is no indication that his password was taken away on purpose. A lot of people may be getting excited for no reason.
