Been a while since I posted here and plenty has been going on over the winter. The monthly
gathering at the Hall of Fame has been well worth the time and effort of making the trip to Hartford.
Last month WTQM radio did an hour long radio show that was attended by over 80 onlookers. The
radio station web site streams their transmission so calls came in from places as far away as
Arizona!! I got an invite to the Frolic Tavern and Grill's Daytona Party In Waukegan. The Sivia
brothers put on a nice feed along with over a dozen attendees displaying their old picture
collections. Saw Tim Cox and chatted with Darrell Dodd and Joe Kristan. Great Time!! I'll be
spending more time in this establishment!! Doug and Kathy McKay stopped in a snapped some
photos. I'll post them here when they pass them along. Race show comming up at the end of the
month, Look for more details here! Don't forget about March 4th. That will be the last get to
gether at the Hall of Fame for the winter.
