Gentlemen,

My teammate, partner, and GM at Team CB Petroleum Properties, Shawn Dugan, manages to come up with a cool birthday gift for me every year. This year I really got a kick out of it. Ken Miles has been dead for 54 years now and it's not easy to find his autograph. An older autograph collector was selling his stash and Shawn scored it and then combined it with a great black & white of Ken sitting in a Ford GT. How cool is this?!? Now I just need to find the right place of honor to hang it. Cheers!!

Happy B-day and thumbs on the gift. Appreciate what Ken Miles did for the GT program and it is super cool to own a piece of that history.

You could have a hanging party as a little addition to the next rally. Ooh, bad connotation. A ''placing of the Memorabilia'' event. Belated birthday wishes, and a really cool gift.
Ken was robbed.
