Burt had me sneak his books over the border in our rig going to MOSPORT..
I need to remind him of that.......
Uncle Jack and I would have a ton of stories during our tenure of 'SENIOR
TOURS', but a lot of it might only be funny to us.
I suggest that an outline be made of the proposed book and see where it goes.

Speaking of Burt.......... He must have a warehouse where he stores his
goods before turning to cash............I could relate a few tales for a
bunch of laughs if you guys go ahead with this, but would have to change the
names to protect the guilty! I'm not sure of the statute of limitations in
some states!

Amen Randall,
I have a couple dozen books autographed by the authors.
One of my treasures is a ski racing book signed by Billy Kidd at Steamboat
Springs in 1985. What was the hot computer setup in those days?
Michael Argetsinger signed his Walt Hansgen book for me (and his others) at
Watkins Glen over the last few years. Great memories.
Throw in Kas's books, and Carroll Smith's also. Then, of course, there's B S
Levy! (Well named!) ((I like Burt)) All this computer stuff is nice, but
give me a book any day.
Peace.
Bill
