Is it important to win a trophy?
-
Our car cruize season started this past ten or so days. Being new to retirement I set a goal of getting out and visiting with the many friends that I have met along the way while working on cars. I am not big on paying money to go to car shows so I decided I would start hitting a few of the local cruize-ins in the local area. In the past ten days I have made it to three. Since my 36 English Hudson is getting an interior and the Martz roadster is in the Cut, Weld and fit process I am driving a brand "X" car. Three shows, three trophies. Today, they dedicated the car show to a good friend, and older gentleman who drove an all original 1922 NASH. It looked like the car just left the set of Grapes of Wrath. He was a cranky old fart that not too many people knew that well but from my experiences I called him a good friend. He passed away last week. I won the best of show trophy that was given in his honor. It is a plaque with he and his car. Sometimes, something as uninportant as a trophy can mean a lot?Brownie

YES BROWNIE , it can . That little plaque hanging on your garage wall will preserve the memories of the times you and he shared , the look in his eyes when you and he talked about things . Cranky old farts seldom voice their emotions, but their eyes do . BUD

My two eight year old sons sure thought it was important!They will remember it the rest of they're lives. J.R.
