Linda was my dad's favorite... We met her at Car Craft Nationals in IL... As we were walking by in the heat with our dog, she gave us a cup so we could get some water at the GM display across from her... We then thanked her and talked with her for a while and asked if she will be at Mopar Nats the next month and she was...
We get to Mopar Nats at Chrysler Chelsea Proving Grounds and there was about a dozen guys waiting in line to get her autograph.. Our dog walked right past them, went up under her table and put his head in her lap as she made a fuss over seeing him again... He was half Dalmatian and half English Setter with a black patch around his right eye and was very recognizable... After they greeted each other, we went to the end of the line and waited our turn to get another autographed poster... Some guys in line were offering dad $50 for the dog's collar (as a joke) as they wanted that kind of attention from her... :D
Here's Captain and Linda together at the Mopar Nats:
Don't forget about Marcie:
