[DeTomaso] POCA website

[L GRAY]

    I fully echo the comments made by Bob Reid and everyone else who have expressed their gratitude to Gerry Romack, Mark MacWhinney & Asa Jay Laughton for their sacrificing of their holiday weekend, and then some, to avert a major calamity for POCA & it's membership.
   Beginning late last week Gerry Romack stayed in constant contact with me on the progress of this situation with several updates each day throughout the holiday weekend. Because of members like Gerry,Mark, & Asa Jay ( who all went above and beyond ) POCA still has a functioning web page and e-mail forum for its members. A HUGE THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!
     There are still a few glitches being sorted out and these issues may take some time to resolve, so your patience is greatly appreciated.
     Keep your cats purring!!

Leslie A. Gray
POCA President
