Budman Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) A couple of years ago I was visiting at my sister's home. We were sitting around talking in her den. Somehow the subject of my interest in auto racing came up. Suddenly he stood up and said "OH, I've got something I've been meaning to give you for years. She left the room, then came back in and handed me a little slip of paper. Imagine my surprise when I took it and looked down at it. She had had this autograph for over 55 years.

Budman Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yep H/T. You know me …….. There is always more to the story. My sister got the autograph back in the mid 50's when she was a teenager. I was just a little kid back then.. You see, Jud's older brother and family were our next door neighbors. Jud would frequently stop by there to visit. He liked to laugh, kid and tease us kids. We thought he was really funny. I remember him pretty much as he was described in the Robin Miller piece above as having one of those larger than life, John Wayne type personalities.

PAPosse Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Wow. Just.....wow. I am too young to have ever seen him race, but I know he was very popular in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 A couple of years ago a cousin of mine stopped by the house to visit. We sat down in our den talking about this, that and another, when he stood up and said "Oh, I brought you something. It's out in the car. Let me get it." He went out front to his car and came back with a racing jacket and handed it to me. I took it, unfolded it and was absolutely astounded. I said "Good lord, you must have paid a fortune for this!" He laughed and replied "No I didn't. I found it at a garage sale in Georgetown and thought about you when I saw it. I only paid a few bucks for it." I tried to pay him something for it but he absolutely refused. The jacket is 100% leather. Take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
