Venerable FOT List,=20

I have a worthy nomination.=20

Robert Johns made his mark on the Triumph scene in the 50s. He made a =A0si=
gnificant mark and then disappeared.=20

He drew enough attention to himself that he became a Factory Driver at the =
12 Hours of Sebring in 1957. He was co-driver with Mike Rothschild. =A0(Mor=
dy's Father-In-Law)=20

He spent some time and gained experience overseas at venues such as the Nur=
burgring. Robert submitted a short resume to the Committe at the Glen. Perh=
aps he will share some of that with us on this list, as his introduction.=
=20

He will be featured with The Legends Speak in the Glen, with Kas, Ed, & Joh=
n. Bob will also be spending time with us in the Triumph Paddock. I believe=
 he will be bringing some memorabilia from the 50s, which we will all enjoy=
 seeing and discussing.=20

Robert disappeared from the racing scene in the late 50s. He turned his eff=
orts to college, career and family. (Ford Motor Company)=20

Now retired, he has now has returned to be with us. =A0We are glad he is ba=
ck. He will add much to the 'Friends'.=20

Now, please, speak up with supporting 2nd.=20

Thank you,=20

Joe Alexander=20
