Wow, back in 1937, the winner was awarded US$500! I wish that
tradition would have survived through the years! After a contest,
instead of going back home with a winning purse, I end up driving back
home with a sun-burned nose, more dirt in the glider, and less money
in the wallet. And a big grin on my face.
