Kenny Brightbill

 

A Special Thank You
*****************
Mike Grim would like to give a special thank you to Mr. John Mason for the use of his Kenny Brightbill's #19 White Pinto over the past two years.  The #19 White Pinto made many new memories during its time with RFRHS including a visit from Ray Evernham and other celebrities.
