I remember well!  At Parsippany we conducted the Concours on Saturday, the 
logic being that this was the best day to take advantage of general public 
interest.  This required a significant effort to conclude scoring of the 
event, and verification of the scores, prior to the banquet.

We made it -- but, while eating dinner, it just seemed to me that Mike's 
car might not be best in show.  I knew the car, and that green paint was 
off-putting to me.  So, in the midst of dinner, several of us snuck out and 
triple-checked the high-scoring cars.  Mike's won, fair and square.  Sorry 
for doubting it, Mike!

I also remember the Detroit banquet well.  Mark Corbin should, too.  I was 
the emcee, and Mark was making a presentation when the unfortunate Dr 
Collins suffered his heart attack.  Some very anxious moments, sadly with 
an unhappy outcome.
