I just got home from the Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance and I am pleased to announce I was fortunate enough to win "First in Class Award" (Sports Cars & Tourers $2,000 to $6,000 through 1962) for my newly restored 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce. There were 13 cars in my class and I believe 10 were judged. I don't have my score yet but it had to be 92 points or above for first place. I drove the car to and from the event. Looks like all my hard work has paid off.

I would like to thank all of you, who over the past year and a half have helped me with answers to some of my questions. Thank you!!!

Below is a partial list of some of the suppliers, supporters, and friends who have helped me in addition to those of you on the alfaromeo 750-101 yahoo group site and the Alfa Bulletin Board who have helped.

In the days ahead I will be posting some photos of my car at the show on the Alfa Bulletin Board (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giul...iulia-1954-65/)

Thank you again.

Cheers,

George Kraus
