The West Coast Gang got together and had the Show People present me a plaque at the Quaker Show. It was Jeff's idea.
When everyone had gathered for the Trophy presentations, about 200 people, I was called to the presentation area by Larry Dudley who runs these Shows.
He said "Stand right here, turn and face the crowd".
Now I thought, Oh, Oh, the SSR Fanatics have hired this gang to throw tomatoes, and other things at me.
Over the speaker system, for all to hear, they read the following off the Plaque.
Awarded to: Dick Bellville
Having been the only person who would take on the job of organizing this motley crew, and somehow reciving all the votes, though no one else was a candidate, Is herby awarded the title of;
DICK "TATOR" of the Florida SSR Fanatices.
July 12th 2008
Embeded in the plaque is a picture of me driving my SSR with a graphic on the side, of me sitting on a "John" or Throne, as Jeff puts it.
I was totaly surprised, which isn't good for an OLD MAN.
I Thank them for their kindlness.
