One more, and then I'll let it go:

I've actually met Paul's son, also named Paul. This is one of those really unusual, crazy "It's a small world" coincidences....

My local 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.

At any rate, we had a really nice visit, in the middle of M-24, for about 45 minutes. 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 (or anything else, for that matter).

It involved Chuck's beautiful Daytona Ferrari and another mystery car. Ha Ha

I read about that in a car magazine some years ago, I forget which one but the designers hung all kinds of goofy 'custom' stuff on the Daytona.

Greg, good call. I did consider the ears. I saw from the early shot of Dick Day that his ears were longer than Chuck Jordan's. It did look like the ears were "off" to be Jordan's but I didn't think the Delorean shot was clear enough to be sure. Plus, I convinced myself that there was no reason for Day to be there with Delorean.

Then again, I wouldn't have thought Adam West would have visited either!

Keith, glad you had the rest of that story, I wondered what Chuck Jordan was thinking with that Batman Corvette. All I could guess was that it was intended for some Halloween costume party.

I was gonna complain that you left us hanging regarding the Ferrari. Thanks Stuart for filling in that gap.
