Unhappy Re: Don Wann’s Celebration of Life

First let me offer my heartfelt condolences to Steve Wann and his family, in memory of the honorable man known to us as Don Wann. I only had the pleasure of meeting this legendary icon of Stock and Super Stock drag racing once (I believe in 'Vegas), but I had been a fan of his long before I knew Steve was his son. I got to know of Mr. Don Wann through the car magazines coverage of national events he was in (and won)! However, I didn't get to know of Steve, until I moved to Phoenix 12yrs ago, and started D7 racing.

In memory of Don, I am hoping someone reading this still has the magazine that I told Steve, had a picture of his dad with a "French Curl" to his mustache, back in either the 70's or the 80's. My first guess is it was in a "Super Stock and Drag Illustrated" issue. However, it could've been in one of the other race covering magazines of that era...Hot Rod, Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding, or even National Dragster or Drag News? I hope someone who reads this, can find the issue of the magazine the picture was in....I know Steve would love to see, and have it to add to his vast and fond memories of his father, mentor, and the great racer known to us as Don Wann!
