Default NCRS meet in Danvers Mass. years ago

I had given him a ride from the hotel to the showfield in my 1969 427/435 Turbo-Hydramtic Corvette ( 1992 )

I have an autographed picture of Zora from that meet. I drove down from Maine and was impressed with the various solid axles driving around. Good times.

I forgot to note his inscription. I was a psychologist and everyone called me "Doc". He signed my picture to "Dok" reflecting his Russian background.

Attended that met also, but could not convince Judges of their errors on 64 interiors.
Things changed over the decades and now all is right, so we do learn!

Ralph,

I wouldn’t bet that his coffee cup had coffee in it.
