What a great interview !
Ed, you are a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in our car world ….

Thank you for your kind words, Don. I could not have done it without the help and support of my wife and partner Sherry, as well as the hundreds of judges who use the ICJAG judging forms and judging guidelines across the world.
Mark, thank you for rebroadcasting my interview. Since then I have retired as the Chairman of ICAG. My successor is Nigel Matthews. I have also retired as a senior member of the Pebble Beach selection committee. These are my last retirements. I now have time to write the book so many have urged me to do over the years. The original manuscript is near completion and a number of publishers have expressed interest.
I am the fortunate middle son of Ed Gilbertson. How did I get so lucky?
