We received this from Cheryl Sabourin:

I was wondering if there are any members that would remember my dad, Allen Sabourin. I have attached a copy of the issue of “Toyota Trails” that Ed Maikisch wrote an “In Memory Of” article, and the page that my dad’s advertisement was on (Ottawa Valley 4×4).

For any members still around that were friends of my dad, I also included a letter that he saved from 1978 that says it ALL about the kind of extraordinary person my dad was. The date of his passing just passed and got me thinking about how great he was and how much I miss him. I wish he could have met my husband and children, and it really helps to know there are people who remember what a terrific guy he was. He loved this organization and LOVED his Land Cruisers. I was supposed to go with him to “The Great Smokey Mountain Trail Ride,” but obviously, he was in no shape to attend. Thanks so much for your time.

In Memory of Allen Sabourin
