[Fot] Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival-The Legends Speak FoT

[N197TR4 at cs.com]

FOT:

More well deserved thanks...to....Kas Kastner, Ed Diehl, Bob Johns, John 
Macartney: 

The Legends Speak.  

The FOT was well represented and they held the audience attention for more 
than an hour.  Brian Redman was there, too, but decided he was unecessary to the 
success of the program and quickly passed the baton.

See note from Committee Chair, Lew Durland, below:  


> Joe,
> Thank you so much for all you did to make The Legends Speak a very 
> successful event.  We had a record turnout for our event, and all the speakers were 
> great.  I greatly enjoyed meeting John Macartney and hearing his humorous 
> stories from his days at Triumph as well as his very sobering personal tale of 
> PTSD.  Bob Johns spoke fondly of his racing at Sebring in 1957.  He and and his 
> wife were very friendly and I enjoyed speaking with them immensely.  Kas 
> provided a great view from the technical and managerial perspective, and it was 
> great to see Ed Diehl again and to meet his wife Linda this time.  
>  
> Thank you so much for arranging and bringing the speakers for this event.  
> And thank you for keeping after me.  All in all, it was a success.  I heard 
> many compliments and good comments.
>  
> Thanks again for your invitation to stop up at the Triumph paddock.  
> Unfortunately, I ended up having other commitments to which I had to attend during 
> the rest of the weekend, so I never got back up to the track.  We hope you can 
> make it back next year.
