NEWS ABOUT MOLLY
To the Trailblazers: We were saddened to hear the news that one of our favorite Trailblazers that we all know as Molly has cancer. What follows is the text of a note on the internet from Buick, who he has worked with for many years. We've all known him though for creating the famous Yamaha yellow and black "Track" he designed back in the 1970s, as well as the Kawasaki Lime Green color scheme. This news release pretty well fills in all the other details and we of course share with them our concerns for our long time friend.
From Buick:
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
