I have known Doc for many years, a long time. He was a testy old guy at times but a racer as well. His paper Bonneville Racing News has been around for a long time. I have every issue. It was before e-mail and web sites like this that got the information out to the LSR world. Doc and Wendy have done a great job and I know Wendy will continue. Doc, thanks for your support.

Besides having enjoyed BRN for racing coverage I want to thank Doc and Wendy for the marvelous support they provide for the Bonneville Northwest Reunion.

In the most recent issue Cris Shearer's article was published in it's entirety and that included many pictures. I was not at home when the issue arrived but during my trip to Southern California 3 people told me of the story.

That support is so appreciated and my Thanks and condolences go to Wendy. No need to say Thanks to Doc; he was reading over my shoulder as I wrote this.
