[SEL] Internationally (In)famous?

[Dave Croft]

I have just received an E Mail from a Chelmsford MA collector who wished 
to contact a Danish friend of mine.  He had read an article in the English Stationary 
engine magazine that I wrote in 1999 about Jens restoring an early MAN Diesel
engine. Jens died shortly afterwards.
When I asked how he had found how to contact me  as I had changed my address,
he said he was at a show near Massachusetts & asked if anyone had my E Mail.
He said someone gave him my correct address.
As I have never been anywhere near the USA this must rate me as Infamous. 8^)

Taking the subject seriously Look at the following posts.

It seems that some (so called) friends of Jens who were part of the management
commitee arranged for a fleet of large vehicles with lifting equipment to go to the 
museum that Jens had spent a large portion of his life starting up.
They smashed the door & removed the majority of the exhibits, most of which no-one
knows where they are.
The MAN diesel is still there as it was too large to stea, (Pardon me I mistyped the 
previous 4 characters) remove. The reproduction room  had been destroyed.
I am not in the country but as Jens was one of my best friends I am totally devastated at
what has happened.
I cannot pass on what I have heard as to names Etc as legal proceedings may follow.
I hope I never have to post anything like this again.
