This evening when I got home and checked my personal E-Mail I had received an E-Mail from Jay (Helen's Husband) with a link to an on-line tribute to her.

It can be viewed by clicking or copying the link into your web browser. The E-Mail read as follows:

A legacy tribute to Helen is available for your viewing at

I'm sorry to hear about Helen's passing, Matt. I'll try to stop to visit Jay this spring....once we get the cottage opened again. It was nice to see Helen on the G-burg Battlefield in the legacy slide show...sorry that she couldn't join the group ride I have your address and will send a check soon for the memorial fund.

She was truly a neat feisty lady and I wish that more vintage folk had gotten to meet her. If anyone has pics with her and Jay at an event, please post 'em on this thread....

About the same time one of our 'cottage' neighbor wives (living about 10 miles away from Jay and Helen) passed at the young age of 50. The last remaining member of Kathy's mother's generation passed last week in Wilkes Barre. All of these are sad times, but we need to celebrate their lives....hopefully lived to the fullest

Do we have enough contributions to avoid embarrassment

In a word: NO. So far, yours is the only other one received as of today. Expect a few others from people that have PM'd for my address.

RIP Helen. Best wishes Jay!

Not too many have experienced Tropical Treat, but I've also taken a couple other s2k folks there I'm glad that Helen and Jay also were here:

Matt,

Sent you a PM.

While I didn't know Helen I can see she was loved and is missed. I'd like to contribute in at least a small way to the fund that helps make her memory last.

That legacy tribute to Helen is really nice. I have not seen anything like that on the net before.

I don't recall ever meeting Helen and by all accounts I would have, had I done that. Thanks for your efforts Matt to remember a friend.
