Field Trip Report: Mark DeLorean Fundraiser

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxx>]

Last night DMLers Ken Koncelik, David Levey, Josh Haldeman, and myself
attended the political fundraiser of Mark DeLorean, candidate for
Cuyahoga County Commissioner. My wife Patti, though not a DMLer, was
there as well.

As advertised, the keynote speaker was John Z. DeLorean. The speech he
gave could have put Ronald Reagan to shame. He was witty, highly
intelligent, polished, and straightforward in his opinions. It was a
pleasure to be in the audience.

Many other members of the DeLorean family were in attendance as well.
All of the DeLoreans were charming (the people, not the cars). Ken,
David and Josh got to talk with them more than I did, so perhaps they
can fill in here.

Oh yes, there were five DeLorean automobiles parked outside the Country
Club. When he saw them, John DeLorean's eyes seemed to light up for a
moment.

During the course of the evening, I spoke with the service manager of
DeLorean Cadillac. He had some amusing stories to tell. Just when I
though my crazy friends on the DML had tried everything you could do to
a DeLorean, he told me about a customer who has installed an aircraft
turbocharger! The surprises never end.

Many thanks to David Levey for arranging this.
