Grim, John Bridge was the head of purchasing for the XM-1 tank for Chrysler Defense so he got lease cars from Chrysler and could in turn buy them after the lease. Gary was always in Detroit for the Mini Gold Cup and Gold Cup. We were all good friends. Gary would bring Coors beer to Detroit, it wasn’t sold in Michigan at that time and he’d take home Strohs because it wasn’t sold in Illinois. I wasn’t kidding about it being full of Strohs when he took the van home.
An aside from that, John and I picked up Jerry Dunlap at the airport on his first trip to Michigan in that same van, yup handed him a Strohs before we got out of the parking lot.
Thanks John
