b Spirit of Triumphb Award: The Vintage Triumph Register 2004 Convention
Committee is honored to announce that Richard Sharp of Rimmer Brothers has
established a one-time award to be presented at this yearbs convention. The

will be presented to the individual that Mr. Sharp believes to best represent
the

devotion to the marque and will be determined by length of membership in VTR,
convention attendance, and the daily use of a Triumph. Other criteria include a
high degree of visibility on the local, regional, and national levels
including offices held, technical expertise and the willingness to share that
with
others, thoughtfully executed upgrades to his/her automobile, and the giving of
oneself to help other TR owners. If any VTR Chapters or Zones have a member(s)
who they believe should be considered, they are encouraged to forward those
nominations, along with supporting testimony by e-mail to info@vtr2004.com, or
by mail to VTR 2004, PO Box 3876, Richmond, VA 23235. The members of the VTR
2004 Convention Committee will consider all of the nominees and select a list
of
