Hi gang,

I was so taken back when I read what my son wrote for your contest about growing up in the back seat of my 34 Ford Tudor.  Honestly, it brought tears to my eyes as I had no idea I had such an impact after 36 years of being a dad as best I could and how he now completes the circle by being an avid street rodder himself and volunteering for our Back To the 50's show each year with me.
Speaking of our annual 50's show, you likely know by now that this will be our 40th Anniversary.  Jerry Johnson and I will come by for a photo op with your family again.  I have been to all 40 50's shows with the 34 plus other rods that I own.  I look forward to seeing you again in June and wish my son's submittal good luck.
If there is anything I can do to make your visit to St. Paul better, feel free to contact me.  I spend hours each week on your classifieds section looking for my next hot rod.  Are you ever too old to stop adding more to the stable?

All the best,
Gary Magner
