Richard,
  Darn!!!!! and I've been working on the "strange" thing for so mannnnnny 
years...
  Thanks for all the kind words.  I do enjoy it, it seems to me that it adds 
something for some of the people.  I dont put it up real often, but I do/will 
when I can.
  Anyway, thanks again for the note.  It makes it all worthwhile.

Let me say something about Tom Strange. First off, he's not. He has
corrected whatever ancestral characteristic that started his unusual
surname. As a Taylor, I have done the same for the great, great, great
grand-somebody who wielded a needle and thread in the back woods of my long
lost family tree.

But, back to Tom. I believe that most of us at Road Atlanta have varying
degrees of appreciation for the tent structure Tom put up for us. Yes, it
rained Saturday and it provided a most welcome shelter from the elements.
But, to me at least, it provided a far more important ingredient. It was,
perhaps, a sense of unity of purpose, or maybe it was a sharing of something
we all feel about racing, our marque and our friends. I really cannot
express exactly what Tom's tent means to the Fot effort, but whatever is, it
is significant. I speak for quite a number of our dis-organization when I
say thank you to Tom. You put in a lot of dollars and a huge amount of work
for the benefit of the rest of us. And I, for one, am proud to share the
tent and the friendship with a man of your caliber.

Thanks again.

Richard
