we are all just little people                       

When I retired 3 years ago I threw a Garage Party, joined the auto museum and bought a book, "Ultimate Garages" by Phil Berg. One garage featured in it belonged to cannonballer Brock Yates, also a museum trustee I filmed during the SuperCar exhibit. Brock autographed my book last week when he came in from the Rochester area to host a new exhibit. These cars were real popular, racing everywhere following the war. Dad's museum tether models from that period are similarly shaped as was this #88 gas engined car he made for brother Bill. I think that's Bill in the cowboy shirt, but we all squeezed into it to run around on our dirt roads, and out back. Does anybody build stuff like this anymore; did they ever?

I put together a compilation for my Mustang hockey team at another web site.
