Hey Neil; I knew I could count on you. Not too many of us left !!
How are you doing out there in "bandido land"? Stay safe and say hello to Marilyn for me. I've heard from Paul Dilcher on here and just recently Tony Janes. How did Tony know about Glen Campbell Chev. ? I thought he was a CA boy.
I did the motorcycle ride out rte 66 last June but never made it to Phoenix area. By the time I got to Santa Monica, after riding to Chicago from FL and then Chi. to Santa Monica, I was whipped, so I put the Harley on a truck and flew home. We went through the Okla. City floods and a windstorm in NM, among other things - not bad for someone looking at his 70th B-Day next month. I am now in Wake Forest, NC, closer to my son and grandson.
Would love to meet up with you again and talk about our wonderful trip across the country in 1971 or 1972 with Dean Becker !!!

I'm expecting some "flak" from my previous post from those too young to see what it was like in the early to mid 60s. I remember the first time I was told I "broke out" (at the preNationals meet in Muncie, IN, driiving the '57 Bad Banana). "Broke out what", I said. "You went too fast", they said. "Well, excuuusssee me", I said !!! - "isn't this a race???" At that time you apparently couldn't go more than .20 under the National Record.
