PARTING WORDS OF WISDOM
If you can only go to one show, this’s the one to attend… The Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance and Motoring Festival.
Be honest, be truthful, because if you ever have trouble remembering who you said it to, pretty soon you are prevaricating to everybody.
It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you.

Very excited to listen to this Podcast. This will be my first year Judging at the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegence.
Great interview. Wonderful history and stories about the gentleman and the Concours. I liked what he said at the end: It’s not who you know; it’s who knows you.
