I had another one of those really unusual, crazy "It's a small world" coincidences today....
My church is large enough to need a "traffic team", and we utilize help from the Oakland County Sheriff's deputies to assisting getting cars in and out of the parking lot off the main road. Naturally, I help park (...where else could I get "paid" for standing in the road and watching cars go by?...) and was visiting with the Deputy assigned to the north lot. I had brought him his two-way radio and we were shooting the breeze when I noticed his nametag: It said "P. Deesen". I asked him "do you happen to know a fella named Paul Deesen?" "Paul Deesen Sr?" he said. "I'm Paul Deesen Jr". Unbelievable. For those of you not already familiar with Paul Deesen (Sr) - he's the guy that designed the GTO emblem. And invented the red line tire. And designed the '65 Gran Prix. Among other things. At any rate, we had a really nice visit. Very pleasant young man and it sounds like he enjoys his father's antics as much as we do. Hopefully, I don't get any other chance encounters with Officer Deesen while I'm out driving one of my Pontiacs.  K

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
