Well, I am back… but actually I never really went anywhere at all.

When Rumpsville launched 25 years ago with the blessings of Pete Millar as our honorary Mayor we started by giving recognition to our mentors.

This heart felt toast goes out to the friends that I have lost in the past few years. They always encouraged me and let me know I was welcome and a part of a much larger hot rod family.

Michael Young
Ed Woodard
Jimmy McPherson
Frank Oneal
Bill Akin
along with several others.

Thank you, Gentleman!
