Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Something only this group is likely to appreciate.

Great story Scott, and a very nice memento!

 

Next July 11-14, the Northwest chapter of the FCA is hosting the big annual meet in Portland, Oregon.  This will be the

first time it's very been in the NW.

 

Jose Gonzalez's daughter will be a special guest of honor to mark the 70th anniversary of Ferrari's very first Formula One victory

that took place on July 14th, 1951.    https://ferrariclubofamerica.org/BlankCustom.asp?page=FCA2021Home

 

You should attend and bring your photo along!!

Subject: [Ferrari] Something only this group is likely to appreciate.

Several years ago, before all my troubles, a friend from the Ferrari community down in Miami was having some troubles of his own.  I was able to step in and help him out of a couple of jams.

Yesterday he wrote me.  Having relocated and put his life back together, he was unpacking boxes.  Tucked away safely he found a packet of photographs that he had signed by his family friend - Jose Frolian Gonzalez.  One is made out to ME and it is a photograph of him crossing the finish line of the 1951 Grand Prix at Silverstone - the first win for Scuderia Ferrari!

I was a complete surprise and an awesome gift.  I am gob-smacked.

Aside from this group, few of my friends would understand.

Scottie
