Sunday July 12 – Endings always tend to celebrate the great plays or battles. The end of this pilgrimage across the country is no different. While the tickertape falls on the celebrated heroes, the one that shoveled coal into the boiler has to be co…

- Thanks for aproving me for membership. Wish my health and age would alowe me to go. I am thinking about how I might come to West Point for the kick off dinner.
The pictures are great but I would ilke further credits to Jack Scott who gave me the negatives to print. His father took most of the pictures as he was the driver of the mumber 2 racer. I understand Jack is going to meet the cars in Seattle. Also you might mention my involement with the pictures.
Thanks
