ting. Many thanks to you for your leadership and to your wife, Cathy, for her commitment to help “steer” and support you along the way! Keep your “motor” running. You’re a real “Class Act,” Love, Jo. I’d like to thank Keith King of Revolution Images for supplying these photos. Ron Tatum Richmond, Virginia
selected as the Cookout’s “Street Rod of the Year.” I would love to see NSRA return to Richmond, Virginia, and am taking the effort to get other rodders to sign a petition and work with the Governor of Virginia to compose a letter to the Richmond Area Tourism Board. The following feedback comes from an attendee who is not a street rodder: “Congratulations, dear brother-in-law, on a job well done sharing your passion for cars with others over the years! I have immensely enjoyed the annual opportunity to exam- ine the handiwork and commitment of street rodders, meet new people, and actively engage in the festivi- ties (awards announcements, food, and musical enter- tainment) all free of charge and in such a beautiful set- Ron Tatum (R) was congratulated by fellow Richmond Rodders club members for his 20 years of work and guidance for the Richmond Rodders Cookout.
Ron, You are a true inspiration to rodders who’ve experienced your hospitality. The NSRA appreciates all you have done to support street rodders in your area and we are always on the lookout for event venues. As an example, the Street Rod Nationals South is back on the 2026 NSRA Event Schedule in Johnson City, Tennessee, May 8-9. Enjoy your retirement and worship your wonderful memories, new and old.—ED
