To All, the GATS 2002 Novi, Michigan Movie has been uploaded. I tried to incorporate some of Ken's footage, but unfortunately it wasn't a lot. I will be doing a separate movie just for that. The size currently is 38 MG. IMO it should be this high (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
