I've tried contacting her 3 different times over the past several months, but emails come back undelivered.
Kinda interesting eh? Would like to know the rest of the story.

Hello Rob,

I found that website a while ago and was curious too. Ron Scheinders in the story I belive is actually the fellow who authored every favorite book.

ISDT '73: the Olympics of motorcycling;: The official pictorial record of the 48th International Six Days Trial, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA (Unknown Binding)
by Ron Schneiders (Author)

Second the web site is a rouse (sp). Based on the web site "whois" the owner is Cheryl Schinder. I do not know what her relationship is to Ropn in the photo; daughter, wife  or sister.

Hi John,
Interesting, thanks for taking it another step, that's helpful. I see what "whois" is - but I'm lost on "rouse". I should follow up on it, just curious to find out what it's all about.
Thanks again John, hope all's well.
Rob

Bob,
I think John meant that the website was a Ruse, or hoax. Mike
