Rotary. However, due to C-19 both were canceled. Subsequently Richard and Hank made it possible for me to do the show on Zoom for RAMS. I now will be doing likewise Zoom gig for M.B. Rotary May 11 with the gracious assistance of Hank and with Tom introducing me." .Join us for our MB Classic Car Show fix - when it should be happening as we meet up with Larry, Hank and his Classic Cars along with Larry’s “all-about” narrative.
