Sunday morning, there were a couple of guest speakers who told of their experiences with the late Dick Harrell.  One speaker was Valerie Harrell, Dick's daughter, who brought several scrap books full of old and rare pictures of her father and his many racing ventures.  Ray Morrison also spoke, and had several stories about the his car, which he personally bought from Dick Harrell...he even rode along on a test ride with Dick!  All in all, it was a very memorable weekend.
