Yes Wes,sadness & joy prevailed Sunday evening well into dark. I only met John
Beckett once when he unveiled that beautiful flat gray Hondaliner at World of
Speed inspection line in 2003. John was definately everything that has been
mentioned ,by his many longtime friends. Scott Guthrie, I thank you Sir for
your needed words which came so comforting to all of us Sun. nite. God Speed
John. You knew your Maker.
