Jim literally retrieved them from the dumpster which (I suspect) forms the foundation of the dispute over ownership which still exists today or was only recently resolved.

Keith, I'll try to follow your example and write more stuff down when I first hear it, instead of assuming I'll remember it forever, a couple years ago I had a brief phone chat with Reg Harris (PMD Public Relations in early 1990's then went on to SLP) and Reg also mentioned Jim going thru the dumpsters when the admin building was closed, I think Reg said that Jim also retrieved PMD's old Motor Trend COTY awards and other similar stuff from those dumpsters. Sad that Pontiac could have so little respect for it's heritage, but glad Jim was there to save it.
