    I’m trying to find out of John built a 1961 Oldsmobile. A guy is trying to sell one that supposedly has John’s signature on the dash dated 2007. It’s a gold with white leather interior. Please let me know ASAP if this is John’s car. It has a Barrett Jackson tag on the back.

    JOHN: Please contact chuck dybdal. Tommy Nunnelly sent some information about you for a bio to be placed on the Pittsburg Entertainment & Arts Hall of Fame website, and I need you to approve it before we put it up…contact me at ced30@aol.com or (925) 642-7321. Think Tommy was inspired because Frank DeRosa has been voted into our Hall of Fame this year…you can check out his and over 100 other bios of Pittsburg artists at http://www.pittsburgentertainmentandarts.org…thanks
