Keith you hit the nail on the head, who on this list..."knows somebody who is
somebody in the military" ....NOW LETS GET IT DONE
The right approach (articulate and tactful) with the right persons, with the
history correlating the lakes heritage-hot rodding-and veterans, should speak
for itself I am embarrassed that the military conjurs up this large
fee against "many of its own"
I KNOW that this can be done, it all makes too much sense, for the military and
for hot-rodding,
a little advertising in the LA area alone could yeild a phenomenal turnout
