Re: [Chrysler300] For those of you NOT converting to discs

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On John Hertogs web site.  If anyone has any kind of backup copy of it or 
would know where to obtain one I would gladly put it on my Chrysler 300 web 
site www.chrysler300.net.  I would attribute everything to however wrote 
it.  I am thinking I could even put ads on it and give the money to 
John.  Might not be much but maybe he could use it anyway.

If any of you have kept the originals of the material you sent John I can 
probably work with that.  Just contact me off list and we will see what we 
can do.

See Sig, I know how to make websites, I do it for a living.
