I took the roadster to a car show today. it was at the Veterans home in Charlotte Hall Maryland. I got there a little late, but I arrived to find the veterans roaming around looking at the cars. I got out and shook as many hands as I could. I told them it was my pleasure to meet them (most in wheel chairs). I did'nt get to spend much time with my car show friends, for I was focused on the reason I enjoy myself today USA VETERANS. I got a trophy just like everyone else. When I think of a trophy, I think of a champion. After everyone got their trophies and had left, I marched my trophy in the building and found a "REAL CHAMPION"...."A REAL HERO". I found Mr. Gilbert Wurzbacker a Korean War Veteran who served on the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. The second of the three Midway Class Aircraft Carriers. Then from 1958 to the early eighties was a Baltimore City Maryland Career Firefighter. Mr. Wurzbacker is a Champion and I awarded him my trophy. "I MET A BUNCH OF HEROES TODAY"
