"I just met Gordie Glyer at the 2007 Historics and we ARE related.  I've known about him since I was a boy but I never met him.  My parents mentioned that we had a racer in the family but they did not encourage our meeting.  (They were afraid he'd encourage my racing -- as you can see I needed no encouragement.)

Recently, I began to query the web about Gordie so you can imagine my joy when we finally met.  Gordie has always been one of my heroes and it's a thrill to finally know him".
