Hi Brickboard members,

I was able to sign on yesterday and make a post but the site died right after that.

I have been in touch with Bill by private email and he wanted me to post this.

https://www.echovita.com/us/obituaries/mn/excelsior/klaus-clark-18710276

To the best of my knowledge he was really informative on the newer than 240 cars.
He had been fighting of a blood disorder since the Christmas before last.
He was bad of and then got into some good doctors and was feeling better considering he wasn’t expected to last past the Christmas before.
Sounded like he found some good doctors with even better manuals to refer too.
He sure gave it a terrific fight and was even able to make a few posts this year.

He asked not to hear any pity thoughts so he kept that to a minimum.
I will and should say thanks to all of you for thinking of him anyway.
I want to especially give a thanks to Bill for telling me to do a post if I was able too.

I have always been too mechanical and probably have not survived as nicely as other humans on this planet. But inevitable things do change with age.

I wish we all had known him or all of you better but it’s the way of forums I guess.
I think Bill has the right idea to becoming more open to side conversations, if the board dies.
There is a lot of our souls tied up in the archives of the Brickboard to end up in the, or a, WayBack machine.
I know caution is always going to be in the wind nowadays.
It’s our newer times and they are passing faster the older I get. 🤭
Or it just seems that way as the clocks still count in the same intervals but the glances must be farther apart?

Now to see if a “new thread” will post. I have not done many!

Thank you for your post about Klaus, Phil. Using that information, I found his obituary listing in Huber Funeral Home, Excelsior, Minnesota.

Hi, Phil.

Very sorry to hear about Klaus. In keeping with his wishes, I will say no more. But we did lose another valuable contributor. I believe it was Klaus who helped another Minneapolis BB member, Cynthia Amendt, by buying her cherished 122 wagon, Xena, when she was near the end.


The Brickboard has been, shall we say, undependable lately, hasn't it? I wonder if it too is near the end. I hope not. I recently emailed Jarrod to inquire about the state of things but I did not receive a reply.

I encourage you and anyone else reading this to reach out to him via the "Contact Us" feature found here:

Financial contributions are apparently still an option:

Hi Don,

I have been a contributor as a Sunday driver for about five years but I decided to pull that since the board is operating so poorly.
I think whom ever is running this site should at least post what’s happening and why. I think we all have earned or paid for a membership long enough to at least receive an explanation.
It appears from others he is ignoring or too busy to tend to his baby project he started so many years ago.
Even Wikipedia has the nerve to cry, while rolling in funds and paying nice salaries.
Some non profits are turning out to be better employers than anyone else.

The POSTER BB is upset that he cannot log in.
I’m in touch with him by private email and will say this … my Safari browser does nothing but instantly throw a code without even taking the time to try.

I have found an App called “Brave” that has been getting me on.
It is as slow as molasses as on a cool morning but it has been blocking the advertising.
You get a lot of blank page to scroll to the bottom of but it working.
Not as bad as watching for water to boil. 😳

Thank for sharing your knowledge about Klaus C I’m sure many didn’t know that. There’s so much more to some people that meets the eye or keyboards. Thank goodness for that or we would talk so much and get nothing else done and we couldn’t talk about it either ! 🤭

Later, I got to go do something not to talk about. 🥴

Phil
