We received this note from one of our readers, Bob Kern, 6889
Glenroy Street, San Diego, California 92120, who says, ‘I have
been going through back issues of GEM pulling out a world of
information about a Jaeger engine I am restoring and realized how
much help Glenn Karch’s monthly articles have been in my
restoration. Not only does he furnish technical help but a world of
history on the Hercules Company and its people.
‘Glenn’s book about the Hercules engines and the company
has been of great help and interest. I have called Glenn with a
question or two over the years and he has always taken the time to
help where he could. An example of his ‘going the extra
distance’ was shown when I sent him a list of serial numbers
from engines owned by several friends and me. Rather than just add
them to his list, he dropped a note concerning other engines in the
series and things of interest about them. I sometimes think that we
take the information and help available in the magazine for granted
and I just wanted to recognize a man who has been very helpful to
many people in furthering our enjoyment of the hobby.’
We thought all of our readers would like to share in this
testimony to Glenn, since he has provided so much useful
information in his column over the years. Thank you, Glenn!
