DeTomaso Mailing List: May 2000, Message #6

Curt worked his tail off on this effort all week-end with little time
off.....  Gray Gregory and I had to physically drag Curt away for a dinner
on Friday night and thanks to his efforts and the help that many of you
provided who bought raffle tickets we brought a good sum of money into the
club over the weekend.
Thanks again to Curt, Gary Hall, Larry Stock and all those who contributed
to this effort.
