Love the ‘group shot, Rob ! Haha have ‘shot a few or many - here n there & that’s ’a great look - helps bring that part of you & your ‘class story to life.. You keep things simple & understated - but man o man - what a ‘dynamic life the two of you share !
Thanks, Canada. We have friends in this photo who contributed significantly to our lives. I could fill a book with the adventures and achievements of the folks in this one Le Mans 24 Hour group photo. Race Car Engineering, the worlds top racing publication, was founded and became a global powerhouse. Three of the folks in this shot did that. The taller man smoking his pipe was a top BMW chassis engineering manager in Garching, Germany. I recruited him when we opened our Munchen office.
.. thanks Rob ! I’m a ‘lover of Great Editorial Stories - & especially ‘Sporting Stories.. & yes - Travel & Hospitality - Recreational - Environmental - but Culture & Technology is my ‘Oyster ! Your Career Endeavours ‘cross over so many of those haha .. Surely someone has tried to ‘capture this sensational journey !
(PS - my Best Man went to Penn - full Ride - Hockey - hope you don’t hold that against me ?)
Speaking of hospitality, we served 125 guests for the 4-day IndyCar GP at Detroit. We had a lovely tent inside the racetrack with excellent food and drink. We had top clients from UK, Germany, Italy, and USA. A power dinner for the top 50 was conducted at the Rattle Snake Club, including Garrett van Camp and his wife. He was the Ford head of brake engineering who gave us the F-150 business, the highest production vehicle on earth. We exchange Christmas cards still. We strive to respect and retain the friendship of our clients going forward in life.
.. had me at ‘rattle snake .. & IndyCar GP >🏁 Detroit .. Lake Huron ‘my babe Anne will luv ya for that .. Must track down a great 20-30 recap.. Not a huge fan of ‘downtown racing but will gobble the racing up of course of course ! .. Road Course GT ProtoType is my ‘grail but All open wheel RoadRcing also defies Belief - be interesting to compare Lap Times !
Well that Was A Rocket Launch of a Week & More for you .. will soon see what the weather wuz - it was your guest as well ! Non ? 🦎🏴☠️🏁 sounds like rocked the Detroit Casbah & stuck the Landing .. had ‘Too Much Fun’ .. (H/t the late David Lindley)
No spoilers thanks haha ! As I recall Dixon ‘is the master ..’ PS must ‘rattle your Cage re ‘Cheating In MotorSports !’ - Sports Editorial Reportage - (Kansas City ‘rules) .. not to Mention ‘Your Aquatic Sport ! Competitive Swimming Cheating ! ! i has sum goodies !
One of our friends lived in Port Huron. He crewed on a California 40’ sailboat from Sarnia, Canada..What a lovely old wooden boat. The owner sadly died of brain cancer and bequeathed the boat to my friend Jim. They had so many ribbons from their racing prowess. My question is why are there so many huge flies out on that lake?
Good Question Rob - but first will say amazing being aboard ship - anytime ! Losing a compadre Truly HURTS - we grin & bear it cuz it’s ‘the way they probably showed us - once upon the time .. and i has a Fred Neil song for those needing it.. yes i do ! ‘I’ve Got A Secret’
.. a forty foot wooden boat is ‘big one.. carry lotta sail as a ‘waterman i crewed for might say - he had a lovely 28 footer.. Anne n i helped her - ‘wake up’ come spring at Frenchman’s Bay adjacent to the ‘Big Nuke’ - Pickering Nuclear Power Plant - east of Toronto
But to yer question re ‘The Flies ? Oh that’s a dirtbag nasty problem - Lake Huron & Lake Michigan too ! Lake Erie .. hmm - To say it can ruin a casual daysail is understatement.. further offshore & prevailing winds from the NorthWest ? Biting Flies cannot keep up.. but just offshore or ‘still waters ?
