I am a member of Motor City Car Club and in 2009 we celebrated our 50th Anniversary. It is a tradition with the club that we have a gala on each anniversary. We invite past members, a few guests and have a weekend party. In the past at the Saturday night gala, we also brought in a guest speaker. Past speakers include Bob Larivee Sr, Bruce Robertson, Chuck Miller and several others. A club member, Louis Balogh, suggested Don Francks. Don was contacted and he happened to be available and a deal was done! Boy was that the right decision! Don was a one man show, he told stories, did impersonations of famous people and sang a few tunes. The membership and guests were absolutely in awe and we had to allow him to go over his allotted time.
Awesome stories Gary ! I know you have lots of them, you should put a book together.
Thanks Zola Been working on a book.
Zoli I apologize for the spelling.
I had the distinct honor and great pleasure of working with Don for almost 5 years on a series “La Femme Nikita. When I saw the call sheet for the next days schedule and his name was on it…I was delighted.
Don came from another time to sprinkle us with his magic.
I miss him as do many others. Thanks for coming by and giving us a visit and a taste of your spirit..
