Leo T. Martynowski

How I met and got to know Bud Martynowski
In 2004 I bought my 1942 Plymouth Special Deluxe, my first collector car.
Now that I had the car I told my wife Peggi we should see what car shows are about.
My first attempt at a car show was summer of 2004 in Fairview Park, Oh.
It was held behind a large shopping mall in an area called Bolkin Park.
Being my first show I wasn't sure what to do first. We saw a table where attendees were gathered around. I parked the '42 in the middle of the large parking lot and began walking toward the registration table.
A voice came from a slightly built man who was hurrying toward me, "Is that a 1942 Plymouth?" to which I replied "yes it is". He came up to me and said "there is an open spot next to my car, a '47 Plymouth" would you like to join my wife Louise and me we did.
That was my first encounter with Bud Martynowski, and we have been friends ever since, 21 years.
A side note to this is that a photographer took a picture of our cars and that picture was used in advertising the 2005 Fairview Park car show.
Bud has the picture framed in his garage

Our deepest sympathy. We will surely miss our wonderful neighbor. Our love to Louise.
