Without going into a long discussion on how SEMA has been looking out for HAMB'ers going back to the mid-sixties, how about a list of some of the past SEMA presidents and SEMA Persons of the Year:

Past Presidents: Ed Iskendarian, Dean Moon, Willie Garner, Roy Richter, Vic Edlebrock Jr., Els Lohn, Jim Davis, George Elliott, Mike Warn, Nate Sheldon, Charlie VanCleave and last but certainly not least, Corky Corker.

Past SEMA persons of the Year: Bob Vandergriff, Joe Amato, Jim McFarland, Dennis Holding, Linda Vaughn, Dick Wells, Harvey Crane, Wally Parks and Robert E. Petersen.

SEMA Hall of Fame: Howard Douglass, Mickey Thompson, Ed Winfield, Honest Charley hisself, Ted Halibrand, Alex Xydias, Stu Hilborn, Red Roberts, Ray Brown, Burke LeSage, Bill Smith, Sandy Belond and a host of other speed equipment pioneers

If some of these names are unfamiliar to you, then you really don't know a lot about the movers and the shakers of the emerging Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association back in the fifties and sixties.

My wife just yelled at me and want's her soap box back to reach something on the top shelf!

Dropping names always makes me feel important too.

And the reason for this post is?
Let's show everyone how I can read articles on the net and then type them out as a reference?

Waaal, gee whiz, I have shook hands with just about everyone on that list, some more than once, but I don't feel important. Where did I go wrong?

I didn't post this to make myself feel important, I posted it to make the point that SEMA has a the best interests of HAMB'ers at heart. The list is pulled off of page 14, 15 and 16 of the 2009 SEMA membership directory.
