Burke LeSage Memorial and Celebration

This is Richard Parks and I haven't been sending out the Car Racers Newsletter for some time.  You can pick up the latest news at www.hotrodhotline.com, Guest Columnist/Richard Parks, or at the Society of Land Speed Racing Historians Newsletter at www.landspeedracing.com.  These are free websites and the Lawford family let us use their sites to post news about hot rodding and the racing community.  Below is a special announcement for a very special man who helped my father in the SCTA, NHRA, SEMA and other groups.  He was a man who was always quick to volunteer with a spirit of friendliness and kindness that we will always remember.  Burke was honored by many car organizations and the Parks family is deeply saddened at his passing.  Please come and join us for his Memorial and Celebration of Life.
