Howard, it is obvious by the huge increase in viewers that your signature “Enjoy” at the end of each segment is what people are doing. Your devotion and effort to keep the history of the Vanderbilt Cup Races and the L.I. Motor Parkway alive is outstanding and a benefit to all. Your enthusiasm is infectious . We all owe you a great deal for your posting of this material for all to see. My sincere thanks to you.
