Faces to names at Novi

[Mark D.]

Here are a few although I should have worked harder to get more.

Let's start with Jack Humphrey judging Mech I Bowtie 70-72



Alan Struck keeping myself and Jack honest during Bowtie judging

Paul Oslansky (in the red shirt) and Ron Goduti (on the right). I was afraid to ask Paul what he was describing.



Lyle Chamberlain making the rounds.



Reba Whittington judging 70-72 Bowtie.

The resaon Reba Whittington should be considered for sainthood...Dickie 'Papa Smurf' Whittington.



This guy kept hanging around me and Gary Bosselman asking us if he could be our OJ...Terry MacManmon (in the blue shirt.)



Kevin Goodman warning me one last time to PUT THE CAMERA DOWN!

Re: Faces to names at Novi

Couple of guys without much to do, just killing time. NCRS Prez Vito Cimilluca (on the left) with NCRS National Judging Chairman Roy Sinor. I finally had to ask them to move along.



Rick Aleshire creating pain in some owner's life.



Bob Demmel from the great state of Texas. We call him 'Shorty"

Re: Faces to names at Novi

A couple of great car owners with great cars, Jeff Salz (on the left) along with Don Lowe (on the right.) Very polite...neither took a swing at me during judging.



Another great guy and fellow 69 owner, Larry Merchantz. He spent the day with us during 68-69 Flight judging.



68/69 National Team Leader, Chuck Berge (on the left) along with 69 L88 owner, Tom Marcucci (wearing the Ohio State shirt.)

Last, but not least, Restorer Editor and all around good guy, Vinnie Peters.

It's all about the people. The cars just give us the opportunities to get together.

An interesting storyline...if you look over Vinnie's left shoulder, the guy in the orange shirt owns a 69 L88 that we judged on Friday. The fellow sitting down to his left is the original owner that ordered the car new in 69. The car and original owner were reunited for the first time during the convention. I spoke to him briefly on Friday and it was great to hear him talk about his car.

I wish Bosselman's big ol' butt wasn't in that flattering shot of me.

Mark,
It was great meeting you! I hope you enjoyed our fair state. The cool weather is supposed to end soon and we should get back to some hot weather.

Alan,

I think I might have created all those contrails going back and forth looking for the airport.
