OK, That was very cool, he risked his own life to save someone else,
BUT, WHAT IF ONE OF HIS DAUGHTERS WERE TO HAVE FOLLOWED HIM ONTO THE TRACKS, THEY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP DEAD ??????????????
OR WORSE YET, GOT SNAPPED UP BY SOME CRAZZZZZY PERSON ??
JUST MY THOUGHTS, AS I HAVE A 5 AND A 6 YEAR OLD THAT WOULD BE FREAKING OUT, IF I DID THAT...

Guys and gals in my eyes the news seems to be focused o deatn and misery and all kinds of terrible things getting pumped into our homes either through the internet or t v or raido. To be honest I hardly ever watch or listen to the news anymore because of just that. I wish 1 news station would only have good news to report, WELL signing on yesterday to AOL I found this and then todays follow up this man is a true hero and it kinda brings a tear to my eye that a man would put himself in complete jeapordy just to try and save a total stranger, there really is a true hero here is the news that I copyied and pasted:
NEW YORK (Jan. 4) - A day after he jumped into the path of a subway train to save the life of a stranger, Wesley Autrey got a $5,000 reward, a day off and universal acclaim in a city where you supposedly don't speak to people you don't know, let alone rescue them. "I just tried to do the right thing," said the 50-year-old Harlem construction worker.
"It ain't about being a hero, it was just being there and helping the next person. That's all I did."
On Tuesday afternoon Autrey leaped down from a subway station platform after Cameron Hollopeter, 20, apparently suffered a seizure and fell between the tracks.
Autrey had to leave his two daughters, ages 4 and 6, on the platform. It was that, he said, or have the girls see a man run over by a subway train.
Down on the tracks, Autrey saw a train's headlights in the tunnel. He shoved the disoriented student into the only space where they had a chance to survive — the shallow, grimy drainage trough between the tracks.
The train passed over them, with about 2 inches' clearance. Autrey later showed reporters grease stains on his wool hat that he said came from the train's undercarriage.
On Wednesday Autrey got the day off from work at a Brooklyn construction site and visited the New York Film Academy, where Hollopeter is a student.
"Here and all over the world, people are struck by this unselfish, heroic act," Sherlock said. "With so much evil in the world, it gives everyone hope."
"You're one in a million," he told Autrey, "and this is your 15 minutes of fame."
The city's tabloids celebrated Autrey. "SUBWAY ANGEL'S DAREDEVIL LEAP" headlined the New York Post. The Daily News hailed the "SUBWAY SUPERMAN." Autrey is scheduled to be on network news programs this morning and CBS' Late Show with David Letterman tonight.
Autrey gave this account: He was in the station in upper Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon when Hollopeter, also waiting on the platform, seemed to collapse during a seizure. Autrey used a pen to get Hollopeter's tongue out of his throat. Hollopeter stood up, then staggered and fell between the tracks.
As the train neared, Autrey pinned Hollopeter in the trough by lying on top of him, face to face. But the student kept struggling. "Don't move!" Autrey said. "Or one of us is going to lose a leg."
Subway car brakes screeched. One car passed overhead, then a second. Then came silence, followed by the wailing from the platform of his daughters, who'd just seen their father run over.
"We're OK," Autrey yelled to bystanders on the platform. "I got two daughters up there. Let 'em know their father's OK!"
"Who are you?" asked Hollopeter.
Someone who saved your life," replied Autrey.
They waited 20 minutes until technicians turned off power on the subway's high-voltage third rail and were helped out.
Hollopeter remained hospitalized Wednesday in stable condition, recovering from cuts and bruises.
A relative, Jeff Friedman, told reporters that although Hollopeter is quite talented, "even he couldn't write the screenplay any better."

PART 2
Subway Hero Says Someone Had to Help By DEEPTI HAJELA AP NEW YORK (Jan. 4) - Wesley Autrey said he made a quick decision to jump into a subway track to rescue a stranger from an ongoing train, an act he hopes other New Yorkers would follow.
"I did it out of a split-second reaction. And if I had to do it again, I probably would," he said on CBS' "The Early Show' Thursday. "I was like, 'Wow, I got to go get this guy ... somebody's gotta save this guy but I was the closest one.
"I'm still saying I'm not a hero ... 'cause I believe all New Yorkers should get into that type of mode," the 50-year-old construction worker said. "You should do the right thing."
Autrey's phone has been ringing off the hook since he helped the man on Tuesday by pushing him into a gap between the rails. Some callers were complete strangers so inspired by his bravery that they offered rewards.
Besides appearing on several morning television shows Thursday, he was set to tape an appearance on David Letterman's CBS "Late Show" and visit City Hall to be honored by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
In hindsight, even Autrey was somewhat startled by his dramatic decision. But knowing he narrowly escaped injury or possibly death, he didn't regret his choice.
"I did something to save someone's life," he said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, while waiting for a downtown Manhattan train, Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, a 19-year-old film student, suffering from some kind of medical episode. After stumbling down the platform, Hollopeter, of Littleton, Mass., fell onto the tracks with a train on its way into the station.
Autrey, traveling with his two young daughters, knew he had to do something.
"If I let him stay there by himself, he's going to be dismembered," the Navy veteran remembered thinking.
He jumped down to the tracks, a few feet below platform level, and rolled with the young man into a drainage trough - cold, wet and more than a little unpleasant smelling - between the rails as the southbound No. 1 train came into the 137th Street/City College station.
The train's operator saw someone on the tracks and put the emergency brakes on. Some train cars passed over Autrey and Hollopeter with only a couple of inches to spare, but neither man suffered any harm from the incident.
Hollopeter was taken to a nearby hospital; Autrey refused medical attention - and then went to work.
Autrey went by the hospital Wednesday afternoon for a visit with Hollopeter and his family. Afterward, he and Hollopeter's father addressed reporters.
"Mr. Autrey's instinctive and unselfish act saved our son's life," Larry Hollopeter, his voice choking up, said Wednesday

The only thing I noticed different is someone took the Lords prayer and made a chain letter out of it. Such blasphemy. Plus, this chain letter is totally off subject for this group. Also, Pual, why didnt you cc it onto the lori lust group? Jesus was well known for reaching out to the lepers, whores, and lower class types. Dont get me wrong, I do believe in Jesus and am not ashamed to say such, but I cant stand it when someone takes something beautiful and twists it into something blasphemous and then tries to cram it down my throught blindsidedly.

Paul no matter what you do there is always going to be some jerk that has a problem with it. My dad went to Virginia to see my sister. They had to pick someone up at the airport, and my dad told me they didn't have any Christmas decorations up because 1 jerk was "offended" that if they celebrate Christmas holidays why not Jewish ones also. Because 1 person made such a stink over this they decided not to decorate any Christmas things.
This sucks big time because some A hole had to really press the issue now everyone has to suffer. Just like this A hole who has to open their yap and complain about the prayer email. It was a nice email he had a choice he could of just deleted it and went about his business but he chose to really show who he is.
IN case I didn't make myself clear as to who I think is being a A hole, it's JZD 88 mph. Hello, in case your wondering why I am pointing you out it's because I am so sick and tired of people constantly bitching and complaining because someone tried to be nice and put up something about God. I don't see where you think it is a chain letter all Paul was asking was to not break the cycle of the letter. OK I can understand that maybe you don't want to send it out or maybe even see that. It's your choice, I can care less about how you feel about it. What pisses me off is you have to come on here and rant about how blasphemous it is. Why is it that?? You should be able to talk about God where ever! Hell, even in a sinful place like a strip bar! why not????
Shoot, why don't we all just stop this club, and to all the other clubs we are all in and just stay in our freaking houses?? just don't go out because YOU may be offended if someone says something that YOU may not want to hear! Put some blinders on so you won't see anything except what is right in front of you, and don't forget the ear plugs so you don't hear something that may OFFEND YOU. we can't have that JZD 88 mph now can we?????????
I can't stand people that have to have everything politically correct, some is OK but geez. hey why not attack the flag on the General??? It's not politically correct, I get reminded of that a lot when I have my car out! does this mean I'm taking the flag off?? I DON'T THINK SO!
So JZD 88 mph if your not happy here then leave, if you have to get nasty about a freaking email involving God, then I don't see why you are here. you got nothing nice to say, then keep it to yourself

Subject:Fw: The Lord'sPrayer like you have never seen
A little serenity is good for the soul...please enjoy.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
If God brings me to it, he will bring me through it.
The Lord's Prayer like you have never seen
During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity.
(Literally it is only One minute!) All you have to do is the following: You simply say
"The Lords Prayer" for the person that sent you this message:
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed beThyName,
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
Amen.
Next, you send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more
people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of
people praying for others.
Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life,
for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.
If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions!
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father"
This is a simple test.
If you love God and you are not ashamed of
all the great things that He has done for you,
send this to everyone you know,
and the person that send it to you!!!
God loves you and watches over you every day.
If God brings me to it, he will bring me through it
----- Here is the new postage stamp that will be issued in September. Isn't it awesome?
;
READ AND RETURN (sorry - will not break this)
May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
Just send this to people and see what happens. Do not break this, please.

THIS IS MY THOUGHTS, I WITH HELP FROM MANY OTHER FANS, NOT JUST DUKES OF HAZZARD FANS, BUT PEOPLE FROM OTHER SHOWS, AND JUST FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THIS SHOW TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY PULL IT OFF.
THIS YEAR 2006, WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS, UNLIKE OTHER EVENTS OF 2006, WHICH WE WILL NOT DISCUSS HERE TODAY.
WITH THIS EVENT " ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED " WITH STAR CARS, OR PEOPLE THAT HELPED, OR ANYONE ELSE, WE RAISED OVER $13,600.00 FOR THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY, THIS IS AWESOME.
SOME OF YOU MAY ASK , WHY ??? THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY, VS "OUR POCKETS " ?
WELL, MY MOM HAS CANCER !!!!!!!
THIS IS WHY, WITH THE HELP OF MANY OF MY FAMILY, AND CLOSE FRIENDS, "YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE " , WE AS A GROUP WILL KEEP PUTTING THIS EVENT ON.

SO, I HAVE TRIED TO PUT TOGETHER A GREAT BEGINNING FOR THE 2007 EVENT NEXT YEAR, BUT IT ALL TAKES LOTS OF MONEY.
SO, I NEED HELP, LETS MAKE IT WORK, AND GET THE WORD OUT THERE, SO THE BIG SHOTS PUTTING TOGETHER THE BIGGER SHOWS DON'T KNOCK US OUT, SO THEY CAN RUIN IT .
THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THIS.
IT REALLY HURTS WHEN I HEAR RUMOURS THAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING OF CHANGING THE DATES OF EVENTS TO RUIN OUR EVENT.
WELL, ME " MYSELF ", THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE EVENT THAT I WILL ATTEND IN 2007 IF THIS IS THE CASE.
HERE IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS : cdndukes@... , send it out to anyone who can help, or send out the poster to everyone that needs to know when are event is .

I thought ya hoo, yee haw, or goo goo goo, lol would have at least made this least, but not 1 Dukes of Hazzard catchphrase is on this list, that is crap.
Dyn-O-Mite! TV Land lists catchphrases Mon Nov 27, 5:35 PM ET
NEW YORK - Sometimes it takes only a word, or just a few, to become immortalized in television history. The TV Land cable network has compiled a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV, from the serious — Walter Cronkite's nightly signoff "And that's the way it is" — to the silly: "We are two wild and crazy guys!" The network will air a countdown special, "The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catch Phrases," over five days starting Dec. 11. "We have found that television is such a huge part of baby boomers' DNA that it makes sense that so much of America's pop culture jargon has come from TV," said Larry Jones, TV Land president. The greatest number of moments, 26, come from the 1970s. TV Land identified nine moments from this decade. Ten are from commercials, and 28 from comedies, including six from "Saturday Night Live." In alphabetical order, TV Land's list:
_"Aaay" (Fonzie, "Happy Days") _"And that's the way it is" (Walter Cronkite, "CBS Evening News") _"Ask not what your country can do for you ..." (John F. Kennedy) _"Baby, you're the greatest" (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden, "The Honeymooners") _"Bam!" (Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril Live") _"Book 'em, Danno" (Steve McGarrett, "Hawaii Five-O") _"Come on down!" (Johnny Olson, "The Price is Right") _"Danger, Will Robinson" (Robot, "Lost in Space") _"De plane! De plane!" (Tattoo, "Fantasy Island") _"Denny Crane" (Denny Crane, "Boston Legal") _"Do you believe in miracles?" (Al Michaels, 1980 Winter Olympics) _"D'oh!" (Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons") _"Don't make me angry ..." (David Banner, "The Incredible Hulk")
_"Dyn-o-mite" (J.J., "Good Times")
_"Elizabeth, I'm coming!" (Fred Sanford, "Sanford and Son")
_"Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ..." (Eddie Haskell, "Leave it to Beaver")
_"God'll get you for that" (Maude, "Maude")
_"Good grief" (Charlie Brown, "Peanuts" specials)
_"Good night, and good luck" (Edward R. Murrow, "See It Now")
_"Good night, John Boy" ("The Waltons")
_"Have you no sense of decency?" (Joseph Welch to Sen. McCarthy)
_"Heh heh" (Beavis and Butt-head, "Beavis and Butthead")
_"Here it is, your moment of Zen" ( Jon Stewart, "The Daily Show")
_"Here's Johnny!" ( Ed McMahon, "The Tonight Show")
_"Hey now!" (Hank Kingsley, "The Larry Sanders Show")
_"Would you believe?" (Maxwell Smart, "Get Smart")
_"Yabba dabba do!" (Fred Flintstone, "The Flintstones")
_"Yada, yada, yada" ("Seinfeld")

You may not agree with all of this, but then if you don't like it you can delete it...
Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though he's right
AMEN ANDY ROONEY !
Right on, Andy Rooney!
Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Tel evision, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, b ut so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, grea t, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else
And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!

6. ALWAYS
take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are horrible places
to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!) 7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you
(a running target)
4 in 100 times;
And even then,
it most likely
WILL NOT
be a vital organ.
RUN,
Preferably !
in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women,
we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP.
It may get you raped,
or killed.
Ted Bundy,
the serial killer,
was a good-looking,
well educated man,
who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies
of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane,
or a limp,
and often asked
"for help"
into his vehicle
or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
************* Here it is *******
9.Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me
that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch
the night before last,
and she called the police
because it was late
and she thought it was weird.
The police told her
"Whatever you do,
DO NOT
open the door."
The lady
then said that
it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window,
and she was worried
that it would crawl
to the street
and get run over.
The policeman said,
"We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do,
DO NOT open the door."
He told her that they think
a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded
and uses it to coax
women out of their homes
thinking that someone
dropped off a baby
He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls
by women saying that
they hear baby's cries
outside their doors
when they're home alone
at night.
Please pass this on and
DO NOT
open the door
for a crying baby ----
This
e-mail should probably
be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby theory
was mentioned on
America's Most Wanted
one Saturday
when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana .
I'd like you
to forward this
to all the women you know.
It may save a life.
A candle is not dimmed
by lighting another candle.
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys,
if you love your mothers,
wives,
sisters,
daughters, etc.,
you may want to
pass it onto them, as well.
Send this
to any woman you know
that may need
to be reminded
that the world we live in
has a lot of crazies in it
and it's better to be safe
than sorry.

Hello and Good Evening to all the Dukes of Hazzard Fans out there,
I have some Great News, and Some Not So Great News,
Well, let's start off with Jack Gordon aka " HONEST JOHN LEDBETTER ", from the pilot episode One Armed Bandits, yes the first episode of the Dukes of Hazzard, and it is the one where LEE 1 is jumped over Roscoe.
I will mention that I have know Jack since November 1997, he has really changed my life, and my out look on the Dukes of Hazzard TV Show. He has been to all 4 of our Hair Dare Dukes Days for Cancer Research, he even went with us the the very First " Dukes Fest 2001, down in Sperryville Virginia. He is an incredible person, and I have been honoured to have been blessed with his friendship. Jack has told me some great stories about the first few episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard TV Show.
My friend Jack , well, he just arrived home from the hospital, yes, I didn't post anything, because I didn't know what to post.
He was in the hospital for about a week, and it didn't look very good, very sad, this hurts me so much to see this man hurting so much........So, I prayed for him to get better, and he is improving..........
Tonight My son Lance and I spent a few hours with Jack, he finally was able to watch the show Fanatical, in which he said " GREAT JOB PAUL " !!
I am asking for everyone's prays for JACK as his health is not the good, actually, it is very poor. I guess what I'm asking for, maybe some get well cards, maybe Christmas Cards, anything to cheer Jack up, and make him feel he is still thought of.
so, please, a simple card, maybe a short note on the card, or even a letter, that would be the greatest gift we could all give Jack right now, I really appreciate everyone's effort in this matter. Jack turns 80 years old in January.
so, please send anything to :
JACK GORDON
c/o Paul Harrington

I thank everyone for their prayers, and letters,

Subject: [JERRY_RUSHING_FAN_CLUB] ATTENTION DUKE FANS PLEASE READ
Well this years Hair dare event in my eyes was the best show ever, for me it topped Dukesfest because it was so "country feeling" We had 2 great guests, plenty of cars to see good food (that's important) and just blessed weather. The show raised a lot of money for a awsome cause, Cureing Cancer. OK I'm going to let you all in a secret this show was because 1 man and his wife decided to bust some fanny and they put out one heck of a show. Here is another secret, the man and woman who did this show, now has to top it for next year and from what I have been told it is already going to happen. This comming show is going to have 4 dukes stars and this is quite a feat, from a married couple who love a tv show.
So this is what I am proposeing the next show is about 9 months away and if you think about that it's not a lot of time. 9 months can go quick planning for something like this.
What I want to do is provide something for the show if some of us can team together and put some money together and help out Paul and Cheryl just to make the show even better.
What I'd like to have is either another Dukes co star, someone like Emery Potter (the county Registrar) or some one that made regular apperances. Hey it's another auto graph and just a another way to add to the fun! Or A STUNTMAN, espically Henery Kingi, or even Corey Eubanks, or heck ANY stuntman they are all so cool!!!!
OR If anyone has'nt heard yet, LEE 1 is now on the tour circut, and to those who do not know what Lee 1 is, it is the very first ever General lee to ever be used, now is back in pristine condition in exact detail as to when it was ready to jump.
Or even better, JERRY RUSHING THE REAL DUKE could'nt make it up this year because of an injury, haveing Jerry here would complete this event!!!!! I think it would honor the show even more!!!!
These are just ideas but something above would be a great addition to the show. I don't want any credit for doing this, my sole reason to do this is to help just make the show better. NOT that it isn't but if we can help we should.
So what I am asking is, if anyone could help me cause I can't do this alone, if we can split the costs we all reap the benifits. Again this is to help "OUR" club so if anyone is intrested email me at "jasinduke360@yahoo.com" and in the subject bar put "hair dare" so I know who it is.
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS AND WILL COMMIT, ONCE WE START I'M GOING 100% SO PLEASE DON'T CONSIDER THIS UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS, ANY IDEAS PLEASE LETS SHARE THEM OK???

Well, this week wasn't the best of the last few weeks, the BYLAW Enforcement officer called the house. Crap, I called him right back, he didn't say anything about the construc6tion of the building, but rather mentioned that some one in upper managemnet had made a commment about me having toooo many cars in my driveway.....
Sure, so, earlier this week I had my mind made up, the motor in the one Daytona that we bought for parts for Lance's car would be pulled this SATURDAY, nope,. we pulled it out tonight,
well, I guess lance was in a state of SHOCK, WOW, THE MOTOR IS OUT.......
So, over the winter we can get his car put together.
It is a 1987 Dodge Daytona Shebly Z, Viper Red, T Tops, it was a 2.2 L turbo 2 , intercooled, 5 speed car, I will put in a stock 2.2 L turbo 2, but with an automatic transmission for now.
I use to beat 5.0 L Mustangs back in the early 90's.

Let me consult my cliché handbook. "A riot of color." "Every color on the palette." "A color explosion."
Nina and I found all those fall colors over the weekend in the hills of West Virginia and western Pennsylvania. They were spectacular. Here in Augusta, the colors have been more subdued, so it is good to see the full spectrum. It gave me the chance to dust off those clichés.
The trip took us to Indiana, Pa., a community we visit with some regularity to attend events surrounding the Jimmy Stewart Museum. The town does a wonderful job remembering the great film actor who is its favorite son. A four-lane road leading into town is named for him. There is a bigger-than-life statue of him at the courthouse. And the museum itself is really worth a visit.
Each year, they have a dinner honoring a friend or co-worker of Jimmy's. They present him or her with the "Harvey" award, named for one of Jimmy's signature roles. Nina and I have been hosts for the ceremony and events surrounding the dinner for the last eight years, and we always look forward to it.
This year, the recipient was James Best, an actor who appeared in at least 80 films, but is undoubtedly best known as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on the long-running "Dukes of Hazzard" television program.
Mr. Best, who is now 80 years old, is not just an actor. He is also a producer, writer, director and, as we learned Saturday, is quite an accomplished painter.
Born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana, Jim Best started an acting career after his stint in the Army following World War II. He had a compelling style long before he found success in the broad comedy of "Dukes."
Many of his roles have stuck with me. Two in particular were westerns and, in both, he was a villain. In "Firecreek" with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, he was a cold-blooded killer. The audience cheered when he was shot down.
"I was always getting killed," Jim said. "I must have died in 70 of those 80 movies I did."
In "Left-Handed Gun" with Paul Newman, Jim was one of the Newman's compadres when - as Billy the Kid - Paul goes on a revenge killing spree.
"Look at the people I got to work with. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Fonda. It doesn't get any better than that. Then with Mr. Newman, the best of the next generation of actors."
How many Jimmy Stewart films did he make?
"Five. There was 'Mountain Road,' and 'Shenandoah' and 'Winchester '73'..."
Wait a minute. "Winchester '73" is one of my favorite movies, and "I don't remember you in it."
"I don't know how you could have missed me, Nick. I made history in that film. I had a small part as one of the men in a wagon train attacked by Indians. I was killed in one scene. In the next scene, I was back again, firing my rifle. Then I was killed a second time. Go top that!"
I couldn't. Nina and I will watch that film with renewed interest next time.
Not all Jim Best's movies were westerns. He was in "The Caine Mutiny" with Humphrey Bogart and Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead," three films with Burt Reynolds and the comedy "Three on a Couch" with Jerry Lewis.
Now, he has his own production company, and he and his wife Dorothy keep a busy schedule of personal appearances. The dinner and the other events were great fun, with Jim doing a brief parody of his Sheriff Coltrane character that brought down the house.
But I was remembering one of Jim's 600 TV appearances. He was on "The Andy Griffith Show" as a guitar player who came home a failure. It was a poignant performance. Mr. Best is very good at his work.
On the drive home, we passed Uniontown, Pa., on George C. Marshall Boulevard. The author of the Marshall Plan was born there of two parents who were natives of Augusta, Ky., where Nina and I live.
Then in Morgantown, W. Va., we found ourselves on Don Knotts Boulevard in the great comedic actor's birthplace. It was good to see these accomplished people were not forgotten by their hometowns.
It was also good to see the fall colors were even prettier on the return trip - a riotously explosive palette.

Well Jason, it seems to have taken care of itself, kind of, someone missunderstood what the news article was all about.
Here is how my night went last night as I entered the house after work.
As soon as I walked in the door from work the phone rang, Lance picks up the receiver and tells me it's Jerry Rushing. Well, Jerry and I talk for awhile, and as I'm checking my emails, I get an email from Byron Cherry aka " COY DUKE ", he is stating that the photos I sent him of the van looks great, and he cannot wait till next summer, and that is suit case is alreadly packed, lol.
Well, I called Jerry Rushing back and we talked for over an hour, what a night.
well, gotta fly,
take care,

Subject: [JERRY_RUSHING_FAN_CLUB] PLEASE DON'T CLOSE DOWN THIS GROUP
Paul and to whom is so upset about what was posted. Please reconsider not closeing down this group. As a member I respect Jerry 100% I have met Jerry and I can say that I met a REAL Legend. Not an actor.
Jerry or whom ever is so upset about the posting if you are reading this, please reconsider closeing down this group. May us fans have at least a reason why you are so upset??
As a member I am 100% supporting Jerry Rushing, with out Jerry there never would have been a Dukes of Hazzard. So why would you want this group closed down?
As a close friend of Paul, I can say he has been above and beyond in supporting Jerry. If he meets a duke fan he makes sure they are educated about who Jerry is. In fact Paul makes it a priority to make sure that people entering his trailer at shows or checking out his stuff Paul always mentions Jerry, what Jerry was about, and what he is doing now.
I know for a fact that Paul would never mean any disrespect torwards Jerry. He speaks very highly about Jerry. So I hope you can re consider how you feel, if Paul said it was a mistake, then it was. Personally I don't see what was so bad to post that, it does'nt make Jerry look bad or at least that is how I understood it. It makes Gy Waldron and WB look bad for what they had done to Jerry.
Well I do hope this matter can be peacefully resolved, I'd like to remain a member here. Thank you for reading this.

Jerry or whom ever is so upset about the posting if you are reading
this, please reconsider closeing down this group. May us fans have at
least a reason why you are so upset??
As a member I am 100% supporting Jerry Rushing, with out Jerry there
never would have been a Dukes of Hazzard. So why would you want this
group closed down?
As a close friend of Paul, I can say he has been above and beyond in
supporting Jerry. If he meets a duke fan he makes sure they are
educated about who Jerry is. In fact Paul makes it a priority to make
sure that people entering his trailer at shows or checking out his
stuff Paul always mentions Jerry, what Jerry was about, and what he is
doing now.
I know for a fact that Paul would never mean any disrespect torwards
Jerry. He speaks very highly about Jerry. So I hope you can re consider
how you feel, if Paul said it was a mistake, then it was. Personally I
don't see what was so bad to post that, it does'nt make Jerry look bad
or at least that is how I understood it. It makes Gy Waldron and WB
look bad for what they had done to Jerry.
Well I do hope this matter can be peacefully resolved, I'd like to
remain a member here. Thank you for reading this.

TODAY, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SOEMONE THAT WAS EXTREMELY
UPSET, NO, THEY WERE NOT UPSET BUT REALLY MAD AT ME FOR POSTING A
NEWS WRITE UP THAT WAS SENT TO ME BY GOGGLE SEARCH FOR THE DUKES OF
HAZZARD.
I RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM GOGGLE EVERYDAY, IT PERTAINS TO NEWS
ARTICLES THAT ARE IN ANY NEWSPAPERS , AND THEY MAKE THE INTERNET,
I GET THESE EVERY DAY, MOST ARE ABOUT JESSICA SIMPSON, EVEN THOUGH
SHE WAS ONLY IN THE MOVIE, THERE IS A LEAST ONE NEWS WRITE UP EVERY
DAY ABOUT HER , AND IF IT MENTIONS THE WORD " THE DUKES OF
HAZZARD ", IT SHOWS UP IN THE GOGGLE SEARCH FOR DUKES OF HAZZARD
UNDER NEWS.
WELL, A WHILE BACK, THERE WAS ONE OUT ABOUT MR. JERRY RUSHING,
WITHOUT THINKING OR READING THE WHOLE ARTICLE I POSTED HERE ON THE
BOARD FOR FANS OF MR. JERRY RUSHING TO READ AND SHOW THEIR SUPPORT,
AS WHAT HE IS GOING THROUGH ISN'T FAIR, THEY SHOW GIVE HIM WHAT HE
DESERVES, BECAUSE WITHOUT MR. JERRY RUSHING, THERE WOULD BE NO DUKES
OF HAZZARD ANYTHING.
THAT WAS ALL I TRIED TO DO, I DIDN'T MAKE NOTHING UP, IT WAS AN
ARTICALE THAT A NEWSPAPER DID, AND I JUST DIDN'T THINK TO CLEARLY
ABOUT IT.
I DIDN'T MEAN ANY HARM IN WHAT I DID, LIKE I SAID IT WAS ON A NEWS
BULLETIN THAT I RECEIVED.
VERY SORRY THAT IT HAS TO END LIKE THIS, I WAS ONLY TRYING TO SHOW
MY SUPPORT AND WASN'T TRYING TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS OR HURT FEELINGS
OF ANY KIND. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REGARDING
THIS MATTER, I APOLOGIZE FOR DOING THIS, BUT IT IS NOW TOO LATE.
THIS GROUP / FAN CLUB FOR MR. JERRY RUSHING MIGHT BE COMING TO AN
END VERY SOON, I HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW.
AGAIN, I'M TRULY SORRY ABOUT ANYTHING I HAVE DONE WRONG.
SINCERELY,
PAUL HARRINGTON
THE BIGGEST FAN OF MR. JERRY RUSHINGS.
OK,
I HAVE STARTED THIS GROUP TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE REAL ORIGINAL DUKE
BOY, "MR. JERRY RUSHING", HE ATTENDED DUKES FEST 2004, CMT'S DUKES
FEST 2005. HE IS THE ONLY REASON THE DUKES OF HAZZARD TV SHOW EVER
CAME ABOUT.
FIRST THERE WAS MOONRUNNERS, THEN ALONG CAME THE DUKES,
MORE TO FOLLOW,
SIGN UP TODAY,
sincerely,
Paul Harrington
owner of the Canadian Dukes Museum.
