Welcome Ann Bland Salster

Want to welcome new member Ann Bland Salster, who is the daughter of great racing announcer Sammy Bland, who used to run his sixties Ford Racing Network program out of Rocky Mount, NC and was instrumental in clearing the grandstands at the famous Easter Sunday Grand National fire at Wilson, NC. Ann often co-announced with her dad and has posted a couple of good pictures. She is the publisher of the Amelia Monitor-Bulletin newspaper in Amelia Court House, Virginia. That's the home, also, of former Grand National racers Worth and Al McMillion.

Welcome Ann. Great to have you here. I was a big fan of your father. He actually joined that Richard Petty Fan Club of Columbia we started in 1963. He may even have some of our old newsletters around somewhere if everything he owned didn't get discarded. He came to our National Fan Club meeting in the Darlington infield and we really thought we were big time with him there.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
