BARNETT COLLECTION

          Terry Barnett (kntbarnetts@yahoo.com) is a long-time FODS who was so anxious to share his photo treasures with the rest of the FODS nation that he brought a briefcase bulging with photographs and clippings to the Piqua Mall Car Show where he tracked me down in the DSL booth.  And I scanned his treasures right then and there!

          Thanks, Terry!
