One Winternationals, probably over 20 years ago, I was in the pits doing some little flog on some stocker I had, my 409 Chevy buddy,Mitch Akers from San Diego was up, and we were immersed in what we were doing, and a tall and a short figure came up behind us.Turning around, it was Doug Marion, Super Chevy Magazine editor, and with him was Bill Jenkins. We stopped what we were doing, Doug introduced us both to da Grump, and we were as suprised and astonished as we could be. I knew they knew each other, but it was a real suprise to meet them, especially the shorter of the two like that. We visited a bit, and off they went. We both shook hands with a real legend that day,and we will never forget that encounter at Pomona that day. All the stories, the legends, the incredible experiences that surrounds that man and his name are but a by-product of what he was all about. He was an absolute genius of the highest order.
