BREAKING NEWS TO SHARE WITH OUR TURBO BUICK FRIENDS - 02/16/10

Over the weekend we received an email from Molly (Rollin Sanders) explaining he has been diagnosed with cancer. Many of you have personally met Molly at one of several Reunion Events he has attended for us over the years dating back to the early 1990s.
The most recent event he attended was my 60th Birthday Bash back in 2007. At these events he signed many of your trunk ID labels and was always eager to talk to Buick owners. He has always been amazed at the passion and support Buick owners have had for the car.
For those of you that are not familiar with Molly (Molly Designs), he is responsible for the Buick Grand National concept car, including the famous "Power Six" logo (also known as the Turbo Six logo) that adorns the Grand Nationals. He also did several projects for the Buick Motorsports program and the Turbo Riviera emblems. He did the very first Turbo Buick clothing line and was the design consultant for the hardbound GNX book. The highly sought after GNX jacket bears his Molly Design label.
Many people don't realize it, but they've probably already seen some of his design work. If you've ever seen the Lexus logo, a green Kawasaki motorcycle, a yellow or blue Yamaha factory race bike, a black Grand National, or any of the Toyota racecars or transport, then you've already been introduced to some of his creations!
We are deeply saddened by this news and pray for a full recovery. He has great family and friends and a terrific sense of humor, which we know will help him through this.
We asked him if we could release this information to our Buick friends, and this was his reply -
"I would be honored to have our Buick friends pray for my family and me! You can't have too many friends talking to the Lord about this. Because my E-mail gets full prematurely, I would prefer snail mail.
I know many of you may want to give him words of encouragement, so here is his mailing address.
Molly, Terry and Brooke Sanders

I'm sure the whole Buick community will keep him and his family in their thoughts and prayers.
Here are some photos taken from our Kirban 2007 Reunion and Birthday Bash. Molly was our special guest for the event and stayed at our home for the whole weekend. It was a great opportunity for Buick enthusiasts to meet him and have him autograph their car or memorabilia.
PHOTO 1 - Shows Molly autographing items at our Reunion and Birthday Bash. He was signing a GNX book and other Buick original pieces. A Grand National banner highlighting the turbo six logo hung in the background.
PHOTO 2 - Shows an impromptu group shot at our son's home on Sunday taken by John Spina. There were over 55 Buicks and more than 100 people gathered on Darrell’s driveway. Molly is sitting in the very front row in the white shirt.
PHOTO 3 - Show Molly autographing a Grand National go-cart. That's me in my black hat along with Paul Castle with his son, Paulie.
PHOTO 4 - Shows Molly doing a presentation at the Sunday banquet. He featured some of his accomplishments and projects he has done over the years for Toyota, Yamaha, Honda, and of course Buick.
