Godfrey: Enviable reminiscence. Also nice to hear, as stated elsewhere, that you as well bear your lovely Duc (750 GT) and the rides across the southwestern states in remembrance ...They are beautiful things, (...)
They are things of a different era, passing quickly into the long past. I was there, I participated, I witnessed and recorded with my camera. It remains alive in my living memory.
