Woodrow Josey needs our help

WOODROW JOSEY NEEDS OUR HELP.

Woodrow has once again had a heart attack and is not able to work. He has had quadruple by-pass surgery and has had (and this is no S***) 13 stents. Needless to say, it appears that the days of Woody, who I consider the William Tyler Jenkins of Stock Eliminator, can no longer build *** kicking small and big block Chevrolets. As a matter of fact I am in the process of advertising his current show quality Pontiac Firebird B/Stock Automatic car on this site and also Racing Junk.

My bride and I decided that we would send Woody $1,000 and he received it yesterday (15 August 2012) and this was in my e-mail box this morning.
QUOTE “Fred, at this point I am speechless, never had anyone do this for us and I don’t know how or when I can pay you back, maybe if my cars sells soon, then I can repay you, but until then I have no idea. Right now I am in Tears and thanks Fred,,,,,, doesn’t the lord work in special ways, my close friends hardly ever say hello or can I help in any way, and then in the back ground Jesus sends me this Check, God Bless you my Dear Friend.”

I responded to Woody with, “I only do what I want to and repayment is not expected, wanted or needed.” Now I am throwing down the gauntlet with, follow my example. Last year my bride and I filed taxes on a gross income of $89K. $1,000 is more than 1% of our annual income and what the hell good is money if you cannot do good things with it. I am not asking anyone to send Woody and his family $1,000 however, I am challenging you to send what your heart directs you to.

$1,000, $500, $100, $50, $10 or just buy a card. You should be able to work
one of these options
You kind considerations should be sent to:
Woodrow Josey and family
3655 Boy Scout Road
Byron, Georgia 31008

Thanking you in advance for your largesse,

Bob Pagano · 08-17-2012, 05:59 PM
