Ray Giovannoni had a shop in DC on Maine Avenue and left town for Florida before I got involved in cars and racing. His name was left behind and he was a topic of discussion here in DC for years after he left. Strick's Automotive was the race car shop in downtown DC in the sixties. Linda's aunt Bernie still owns Strick's Bar and Liquor just over the DC line in Maryland on Pennsylvania Avenue extended and has for more than fifty years. I don't know what the connection is, but I will ask Bernie next time I see her. Strick's is the music venue that gave Jimmie Dean, Roy Clark, and many other big namers a start.
