[W126 Coupe] Pause for a Thought

[Willardtredway at aol.com]

Everyone: 
Like  many of you, I frequent several MBenz websites including this one, 
which are  specific to certain models that I own. One of those is the 107026 site 
on the  Mercedes Benz Club of America Forums web page. 
This  week we received word on that site that Scott Saenger of Denton, Texas 
had passed  away in late June. Ironically, the initial word came from Germany. 
Like  many on this site, Scott was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and 
ever  helpful on issues large, small, and diverse. His passing has created a 
huge hole  in immediately available practical, historical, and research  
knowledge about the 026 vehicles. Even the Classic Center consulted with him when they 
were  stumped. The common words for those of us active on that site when 
describing  Scott are: unconditionally helpful, rabidly enthusiastic about the 026 
vehicles  (he owned 6 as well as a couple of vintage Ford Mustangs), 
extremely kind and so  on, words that also describe many who are active on this site.  
My  reason for this post is that we may tend to take our daily communications 
and  exchanges on this site for granted. They become part of what we do every 
 day…check the email, see what’s going on, respond to questions, and post  
queries. So, all of this said, let’s not take for granted the input from the  
regulars on this website who selflessly and constantly spend time helping those 
 of us with problems related to our vehicles. Think about the hole that would 
 exist if some of these people suddenly were not available. Scott was  51. 
Thank you for indulging me. 
Willard Tredway
