Palo Alto Concours - Thank You!

[Ian Lomax <sfalfisto@domain.elided>]

A big THANK YOU goes out to Steve Barber, Kristine
Shaff for assembling the fine collection of Alfas, and
to Ron Horowitz and his judges for selflessly
volunteering their time.  I'm sure there are countless
other volunteers I am forgetting, but I just want to
make sure to thank everyone for all their hard work
that made the event a huge success.

in case any of you left early, Martin Swig picked the
Alfa 8C2900B as his personal choice for "Best of
Show".

Thanks again,

Ian Lomax
