Yes, Doug, Richard is Wally's son. A bit diminutive in stature compared
to David and Wally. I met Richard at the Gasup. He was handing out a
pamphlet as we came through the lunch line. I also talked briefly with
both Wally and David.
This was the third time I have attended the Gasup, first in 1994, then
1999 & 2002. The place has really transformed from what it was in 1994.
They had a Video about Jack Mendenhall's Gas Pump Museum for sale. I
bought one and have looked at part of it. I would recommend the video to
anyone interested in any kind of auto racing. This is quite a collection
of auto related stuff, also revealing many things that I did not know
about Jack's exploits.
BTW, Jack was not able to attend this year. He is in the hospital,
seriously ill with pneumonia. He could use our prayers.
