- Buck,
- The thing you are talking about with Lucy White riding the Rebel
- Yell at the Coaster Con XV was shown about 5 or 6 weeks after the
- convention on CBS Evening News. I just watched it again Sat because I
- had to make a tape of ACE news coverage for the IAAPA. Marlon Scott
- asked me to make this and take it with me to IAAPA/TGIII.
- Unfortunately, I won't arrive till Friday so they won't be able to use
- it at the booth before then. It shows Lucy riding with another lady (I
- think the reporter is in red). They ride the Reb with Lucy trying to
- convince the lady reporter to take both hands off the lap bar. It is
- a pretty good piece because at the end even stone face Dan Rather has
- the biggest grin on his face. The commercial is only 30 seconds and
- the old lady looks more like Barbara Bush then Lucy. It wasn't shown
- on any of the games yesterday. Hopfully tonight again. I'll have my
- VCR going.
