                            Papermen and a few others like you (Big Mack, Alison,Butler,etc.etc.)

                            Thanks doesn't say enough..........................!! My wife & I visited the Nascar Hall of Fame this weekend, and it got me to thinking. If it wasn't for folks like you, look at the memories, history, hertiage, etc.,etc. that would be forgotten & lost. It's really amazing that so much info was recorded & saved, from back in the day since the technology wasn't anything like it is today.
                            To "All" of you ladies & gentlemen with a camera and the passion, "Many Thanks" !!!!!!!!!

                            p.s.- I sure feel @ a loss when this page doesn't get a daily update.
