Dan,

Congratulations on earning the Senior Gold Award. I had no doubts that your convertible would do very well with the judging. All your hard work and attention to details paid off. Wish that I could have been there to see your convertible and all the other '65 and '66 GSs. Congratulations also to Roger Sears and Al Jones. Sorry that you lost your camera, Hopefully some honest person will find you or post something in the Bugle or on the BCA Website. Any photos available of the show from Jon, Mark or Rob?

Dan, John,

I have my pics downloaded. I need to resize them and then I can post. Dan, do you want copies of my photos? Sorry to hear about the camera, maybe it'll turn up though.

Rob's convert made the journey there and back with the only casualty being a fuse for the dash & tail lights. I got a number of hours seat time on the left side as well - thanks Rob!!! Top down almost all the way there and back. Had to put it up when it started raining in western WI.

I was hoping that Rob would have entered his GS in the 400 point judging. It would have been cool to see two '65 GS convertibles earn the Senior Gold.

John, I hope I can talk Rob into getting his car judged at the regional next summer. A few things to tidy up over the winter,
and he'll be good to go next year.

Harle was awarded a Silver for his 65 post GS. Glenn was in the modified class. Very nice car but the competition was stiff.
John - thanks for the good thoughts. Wish you had been there.
Mark - a copy of your pictures would be much appreciated. You know the email.

I counted 4 66 GS cars at South Bend. Don't know if I missed any. I also didn't get the owners names on any of these - I apologize to them all.
