Subject:BBTA in Road & Track (January 99)
From:Dave
Date:Sun, 13 Dec 1998 01:43:02 -0600

FYI in the January 99 Road & Track there is a letter from a Daniel Henry
about driving his 71 bus to BBTA 14.  Here's the letter (from p. 18):

"I'm sitting here this morning moved (again) by Peter Egan's drive to
Woodstock ("By the Time We Got to Woodstock," November 1998).  A month ago I
drove my 1971 VW bus to Busses by the Arch, the annual Labor Day gathering
in St. Louis.  My 7-year-old son was in the front seat with  me, the moon
bright, full and orange, on a humid September night.  As we drove past the
small Indiana and Illinois towns, high school football was on the radio, and
then the Cardinals and Mark McGwire.
    Although I was too young for Vietnam (thankfully) and Woodstock
(regretfully), Egan's word's evoked what impossibly with a blond smiling son
whom I also love impossibly, sitting beside me.  Thank you for that gift.
DANIEL HENRY Bloomington, Indiana"

I just thought it was neat that BBTA was mentioned in R&T.
