<VV> kovacs' convention list

[kovacsmj]

Thanks Bob, No offence was ever taken, and now the Green car is Yellow. 

I don't remember much about the banquet, before food? After food? It is
interesting how some military training takes over when in a crisis
situation. I never got to thank those who helped that night. So anybody
who was there that night and helped, THANKS. 

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

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.
