Default Re: Yenko Estate Auction

I was there too. I found out about it from a friend in the area the evening before. I left my home in NJ at 3:00 AM and drove in a pouring rain storm all the way out the PA turnpike in my then new Impalla SS.

I remember meeting Donna Mae Mimms and John Connally who ran the event. I picked up some odds and ends and still today use Don's fountain pen that Vince Piggins gave him for his Birthday. It has a Bow Tie studded with a diamond and rubies.

I also picked up Christmas cards to Don from Zora Dontov among others, which I thought was cool. One of my favorites I received was a signed picture of James Garner and Don in the Sun Ray Corvette after the 24 hours of Daytona. I also picked up a bunch of other odds and ends that are cool to own.
