The month of June was one of both pleasure and pain. My son visited us for a week and playing tourist was fun. We celebrated his birthday, with a poolside party and 22 showed up. We could have doubled that, but short notice didn't help.
It was a good, but all to short time.
On June 9th the inspiration for USofAmade.com passed away. He was Vic Edelbrock, Jr. a hotrodder and business man, who took his father's Earthbased business into the statosphere.
Vic put pride into everything he did and appeared in many company commercial, always ending them with the proud mention that his products were "Made in the US of A".
Vic even inspired the name of our sight. Rest in Peace, Vic.
I have found this article, about Vic Edelbrock, perhaps he can inspire others:
