Here it is.  Rather brief.  A few errors.  But Hey!  We made the NY Times!

Outstanding Mr. Shepard, people will read from some locations and still not know what an Eagle is but it will bring smiles to the faces of those who have owned or owned an Eagle and bring memories to those who had them in the past.

Way to go Mr. Shepard!
You secure the rights to reuse it yourself?

[IowaEagle]

We are working on that.  To reuse in the book.

[Pack Rat]

Eggcellent!Ruffle up yer feathers and do a strut.

[Hokie Eagle]

Sweet!

How did this come about?  Did you contact them IE, or did they contact you wanting to do a story?

[IowaEagle]

He contacted me via e-mai from here.   I also gave him Roy Lunn's number.

Looks good.

I'm still amazed that they are giving the Eagle this recognition.

[Gil-SX4]

Good write up, I'm sure it will get some more people interested on the AMC Eagle.
So are we going to have to call you Mr. Shepard from now on?
I like the way he describes us not as collector but as AMC Eagle owners that love the good and bad qualities of our AMC Eagles.

[IowaEagle]

Of course Gil.    Yes, he found Eagle owners a breath of fresh air when compared to other's who think their particular favorite car was the be all, end all of all cars ever made.   AMC Eagle owners (and most AMC'ers) do look at things differently.

[iwananeagle]

You mean our Eagles aren't the be all, end all cars ever made 

[IowaEagle]

Well of course they should be.

Wonderful Article.  I wouldn't be surprised if it increases the value of our cars.
