Skinny Hall was one of them I am getting older memory is not like it was I know Rick Hall was one of the b's later another one  Dave Buster Braham was one of them I grew up with Buster he was  friends with my older brother I think he was b2 Buster passed away in his 50's and was Greg McCandless uncle I used to know all of them but time and  age have dulled my memory Larry McCool might know but Walt probably either remembers or has record of it somewhere.

They were all blue & white. A couple of coupes and at least one newer body car.  Think Skinny Hall drove one of them for a while and the newer car was a guy by the name of Paxton
