Re: Got this from Val Harrell......
<font color="red"> ....Next, we must consider Dick Harrell, ‘THE BUSINESSMAN”, a unique aspect of the man that deserves special recognition....</font>
Some things you are taught, some you are simply born with. When I read the bio of DH, the part above kind of jumped out at me. You see, among Dick's grandchildren is Val's youngest, Michael. I first met Michael at his home in KC, and then got to spend more time getting to know him at SCR3. But, it was a couple of years ago at Etown I got to see the real Michael. He was there with Val hanging out with all of the racers. In addition, Val had brought along several boxes of DH t-shirts. But Val was very busy that weekend, and did not have much time to spend selling t-shirts. Well, guess what, instead of just sitting around, Michael set up shop in the back of the van. It looked like a t-shirt booth at Super Chevy or something. Micheal had a big smile on his face as he visited with folks about his famous grand dad and sold shirts. No doubt Dick was looking down and feeling proud, watching the little businessman at work.
