Introductions / Charles Eakin
« on: January 30, 2018, 10:48:46 AM »
Good morning all, Unfortunately, I attended the visitation for Morrie Eakin this morning in Gulfport, Mississippi. He died from heart trouble a couple of days ago at 91 years of age. He and his older brother, Charlie, grew up in New Orleans and were Simplex collectors. Their Simplex story is featured of pages 5 and 6 of Gary Wollard's book. I had a very good visit with Charlie (now age 95) at the visitation, and I have made a pledge, along with another nearby collector, to look in on Charlie in the days to come. Charlie still lives in his house in Diamondhead, Mississippi, and has a sitter with him. I know from conversations with Morrie, that he visited Charlie on a regular basis. Charlie said that Morrie had his own room in his house. Morrie provided Charlie's connection to the community. I am happy to hear that he is still in his house with a sitter, but I know from family experiences that there are sitters who are active with a person, and there are sitters who only sit. Each of us needs social connections with others and things to do outside of the house. Although I cannot go over there every week, I certainly plan to have some social activities with him. I bought my first Simplex from him, and want to continue to support our many years of friendship. Mike Montgomery Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Very nice bike, but not the first. Bryan Cullen came from Australia to attend the show in Hammond, Louisiana, in September 1993, and he owned one. Mike

How about a description of how the wires are routed to the plate (insulating board) under the gas tank. I need to correctly wire the lights on the bike that I have that is going to the WW 2 museum in New Orleans. Many thanks, Mike
