    Here's me, George (@G V Gordon) George's wife Terry, Denise, Tim, and Ed. Eating bbq dinner one evening at the SK-500; in 2016 I think.

    Pretty sure that is the last time I saw Denise now that you posted that pic, just earlier that day. Hard to believe that has been 10 years now. :eek:

    I seem to remember a story she wrote once about how the brakes went out on her car and it took almost a mile for it to coast to a stop. Seems she was driving without an emergency brake and a 1 piston master cylinder and her brake lines were not fastened well. When one broke, She did not know to shift down to stop the car. I suggested she get her car inspected at one of the free inspections the NSRA does at their events. She told me that I obviously did not know who she was and she had a friend check over her car and it was good, so no inspection needed. Guess I got told, lol. Hope her friend is not a mechanic.

    As more and more of these stories and pictures keep coming in it looks like Denise is not only the "Cookie Lady", but the "Kooky Lady" as well!
    :D

    That's where all of her FB pix have originated for quite a while.

    Amen to that. Probably the best road trip stories that graced the pages of the HAMB.

    .....Great image! From one of the original Jalopy Showdowns at Latimore. I'm in that picture as well as @lothianwilly71 and @tommy before he p***ed. Fun times back then.

    Denise seems to be doing very well, and still enjoying cars. Like many, it doesn't seem she is as active on the HAMB as in years past. Denise was always extremely kind and generous with opening her house to (literally) complete strangers, known only on HAMB, for parties and a place to crash at Autorama time. Yes, those parties were the stuff of legend, and I have met some lifelong friends there. I can remember one year in particular where my college roommate and I actually slept on her kitchen floor so we could have a place to crash.

    Stories like that are really a microcosm of what the HAMB used to be like; a small, tight-knit community of folks from all over the country and world who would do anything in their power to help in any way they can. Whether that was the exchange of knowledge, a warm place to crash, or whatever. Just good people helping other like-minded folks.
