I most certainly will finish through with giving the painting to them. I'll get it matted and framed this week and get it presentable.

We (R Gruppe) paid tribute to Bob and his family at Rennsport Reunion III and I was proud to be part of putting that together. I was especially moved by the way his wife responded to Bob being remembered by so many.

Boba. I loved the stickers you guys ran on your cars for RR III. Very classy move.
I had met him a few times throughout the years. One being around 1991 or so. I was right out of high school and I went to pick up some parts for a friend of mine, pulling up to Brumos in an SCCA Omni GLH turbo w/ cage and revolution wheels etc. and he said "hey...That's a nice looking GLH". For a 19 year old that felt pretty good. I thought "This guy gets "it"". Most car people didn't even know what in the heck that car was. Bob was a car guy, not just a Porsche guy.

I remember reading about Bob's TC that he & his dad had gone to the races at Watkins Glen in. The Glen is not far from Elmira.
I wish I had known Bob, as I have read several impressive tributes to him. I hope to be able to tour the Brumos museum some day. I enjoyed seeing a lot of the Brumos cars at Rennsport Reunion III.
Thanks for sharing your art & the story.
Do you have a Website where you sell your artwork? I love it. Unfortunately I have no empty wall-space in my library -- it is all filled with auto art (prints). But someday I hope to switch out a piece or two. My prints include work by Nicholas Watts, Bill Neale & Randy Owens.
Thanks again. I LOVE the TC piece!

Thank you and thanks to everybody for the kind words. It really does mean a lot to me.
You have good taste in automotive artists I might add. Actually I think all three you mentioned were at the Amelia Island Concour D'Elegance. All AFAS members too. I stopped to talk to each and gave them a business card. It was recommended to me that I e-mail/submit some of my work to the AFAS to review which I may do in the future. I do have a website, but it's not really up and running yet. It's really just a front page w/ 2 pics on it saying "it's coming soon". If you want to see it it's terrystuder.com. I'll get it up and running soon.
