In 1957 I was a star of GIANT STEP, a TV Quiz program hosted by Bert Parks. One of my prizes was a trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan with my Dad. Soon to be re-explored.

The letter which sent me the picture above. I cannot find the professional picture of me driving Ford’s 999 Racer, but I have a Polaroid. Note what they thought of me. (click to enlarge)
The Newsletter announcing my upcoming visit
And, the detail. Note the “z” by mistake, and Larry should be Bert
A snap of me on TV in 1957
And, following my visit with Julie and grandchildren to Grand Central Station last month, I cannot wait to get back to explore the terminal and the city. Here I am on a visit a few years ago, and my interview on the upper level for the evening news (TV studios were in GCT). You know I am not shy, and love an audience, even if unseen
Above is the note I typed at that time and affixed to the back of the photo.
So…..stayed tuned for great adventures to come in 2015.
Shunpiking with Ray 
MY Stars Ray, I remember you on TV
Hey David,
Great to hear from you. Been too long since I have crossed the hill, but once I get my visa for West West renewed, I will return.
Come on now, you were too little to remember me, really? But then again, I know your memory. Gee, did I impress you even then?
Catch you soon, say hi to Butch for me, RAY
Your writing skills and investigative reporting goes way back. So glad you’re still tapping the keys!
