I just learned of the passing of a long-time member and friend, James McKinnon of Winchester, Va. I spoke with his son Mike this evening and James passed away on March 4th after being in and out of a nursing home for about a year. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I visited with Jim and we talked about getting his Alpine back on the road, sad to say that never happened.
His son Mike is offering James's 1970 Alpine up for sale along with two
'69 parts cars for $3500.00. The last time I can recall James driving the Alpine was at the United in Potomac, Md.
The last time we spoke he indicated the brake master was leaking and he wanted to look into purchasing some new carpet for the interior, but he was really too sick to do either one. Mike (his son) said they have not tried to start the car, but I'm pretty sure with a little TLC it would make a nice driver. I do know that James spent a lot of money on his car trying to keeping it on the road.
Mike McKinnon can be reached at 540-678-8962 and has pictures of all three cars upon request.

dick,
I believe you're right about him being at SUNI 1. he and his wife attended a lot of TE/AE uniteds. she passed away a few days after getting home from a united several years ago.
