Here's a colored photo of the #12 of Leon Manchester that was pictured in the "Senior Moment" page. Roger Kofroth was the photographer. |
03.16.11 | Jim Misted | Hey Russ, the guy standing in front of the
guy with his hand up is Steve Colna. He worked for Leon for years. He
was the one in the tank trailer explosion. He also raced at BRIDGEPORT for
several years. But what should have given you a clue is, look at his face.
He looks just like his famous racing Uncle, Jackie McLaughlin ! He is still
in the area and owns Timberlane Welding Inc. Rt 322 Swedesboro, NJ. You are also right about Bob Gerst. He certainly was a big help and friend to Leon and the Franz family until his passing. |
03.17.11 | Russ Dodge | Leon Jr. identified Bob Jerrell in the
welding hat. He was a welder for DeHart by trade. Steve Colna, a real nice
guy, is also the nephew of Leon Sr. This car was one of my favorites from
the "Funny Farm". I use that term with a smile on my face. I think it was on
one of my early visits to the garage, when I recall seeing that painted on a
mechanic's tool box there. "Funny Farm Tool Kit" It's crazy the things you
remember! I'm really happy to say that I was able to spend some time with Leon Sr. and Jr. this past weekend and it was the 2nd day for Sr. to be "getting around" with just a cane! He is truly the One and only! |
