canadian dealership

Here's a good Mo' story,

A friend dropped by the recently for a visit....she's early 40's and grew up in Hamilton Ontario. . I'm not sure what her home situation was growing up but believe she only had her Mom around? .
Anyway, she was born w/ a birth defect (missing arm) and belonged to a local 'Big Brother' type of group in Hamilton Ontario for disabled kids. .
Well you can guess who she got matched up with for her 'Big Brother'....yep, who else but good ol' Mo' Carter! .
Of course I quizzed the crap out of her on what she remembers and although she can't recall ever going to Mosport or any of his other races, she did visit his dealership and race shop on lots of occasions and mostly remembers the shop was super clean and had a whole lot of trophies in Mo's office. . Also she remembers lots of Camaros and Mo' would put his helmet on her and strap her in the cars! .
She also told me it was standard to be assigned a new 'Brother' each year, but no way for Mo'....he put the hammer down and made sure he had her every year until she was too old to belong to the group! .
She lost touch w/ him in the years that followed and I filled her in that he was gone now and gave her a copy of an old Mo's Racing Shop advertisment I had. .
Just thought I'd share this part of the man unselfishly making time in his busy life for someone who was down a couple strikes! .
