DPMCC NNL #1 summary and photos

[RodBurNeR]

I would be lying if I didn't totally think I
blew it today. I am being honest when I say
that the whole day was GREAT! However , I
got pretty choked up during the awards and fumbled
up because I got nervous. I am human, so I guess....
I didn't think it would be so hard to talk about Elden
Titus and the meaning behind the award to be presented?
I could not do it. I want to thank Ellis Kendrick for being
there to help me out. He took over and did a great speach
on behalf of the club and explained very nicely how Elden
was and what it was to get the award in our eyes. Thank
you Ellis, I don't think I could have said it better (even if I
had not choked)
Being my second year in running a contest/now an NNL, I
guess I didn't do too bad...but I am feeling pretty hard on
myself because of the awards flub up's. Not laying a pitty
party down....I just don't feel right acting like it was a breeze.

Not only did Ellis step in on the microphone, but Tom Cowles
and Russ (last name?) from the KC Slammers were a great help!
Tom helped me count ballots which made it go much faster, thanks
Tom you are a pal! Russ helped out with the decision as to who
should get the Elden Titus Memorial plaque. It was unanymous
to choose John Smiley's '62 Thunderbird Custom. The car was
the best out of all to be what Elden would have liked concerning
"construction, profile, style and execution". Congrats John!

Best in show, Best Detail and Best in Theme went to Alyn Lyon
for his '32 Ford, CONGRATS!

We had a lower number in entries compared to last year, down by
about 30. That is understandable with the economy. I did get higher
hopes , but I can hope for next year......SO I HOPE TO SEE YOU
THERE!

Hey Bob,

Looks more impressive than you think..! That 62 T- Bird is off the hook & worthy of a Titus award, well done. The swap meet looks as big as most anything we have here. Ok you've set the bar high for Darryl, lets see if he can jump over it..? Thanks for sharing & hope to see you this summer in SD.

thanks! I actually feel much better since this post. I overwhelmed myself with emotions about Elden and it got to me a bit.
I will try to be there in SD! ;D
