Thanks, Marshall
Jay sent me a signed copy before it was released and mentions me (not by name but by my ‘65 Coronet with a 440 that I had our freshmen year, 1969-70). He also had a cartoon in the book that alludes to me and my restoration of a ‘57 Golden Hawk I did in the very early ‘80’s.

In response to your post of Nov. 25, about Jay Piersanti, I found a compilation of his cartoons published by Krauss Publications in 1994. It contains about 90 of his cartoons and is ISBN0-87341-2214 for those who would like to find it also. I suspect it is long out of print. Folks
A while back, a club member posted a cartoon that had been run in “Old Cars Weekly” ( I think it was still weekly at that point) of an F convertible with Otto. If that person could please repost it or send it to me off the server, I’d greatly appreciate it (including the issue it was in.)
The artist, Jay Piersanti, was a classmate of mine at Cornell (Class of 1973.) He was also a fraternity brother and roommate of mine when we were at Cornell and a very close friend. He was a retired high school science teacher and lived near Buffalo (Hamburg.) “Otto” was a side job that he did for about 40 years and for those of you that get (or did get) “Old Cars”, I know you appreciated his humor and knowledge of the old cars we love, Mopars and otherwise.
Sadly, he passed about two weeks ago, roughly two months after his wife (who he dated from the 10th grade and then married after we graduated in 1973) had also passed unexpectedly. They leave a son and I’m gathering some remembrances to pass on to him so if you are familiar with “Otto” and enjoyed his escapades, please let me know (probably off the server - I don’t want to congest things.)
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving,
Keith
