The Pig Returns!<br />

by Taxi Breithaupt<br />

For all of you "new<br />

kids" in the club, let me tell<br />

you about The Pig. Don and<br />

I joined the Maverick<br />

Region in 1987. We attended<br />

many events and always<br />

enjoyed the Founder's Day<br />

Awards Banquet even<br />

though we never won a driving<br />

award. During Bob<br />

Knight's reign as Prez, he<br />

took pity on us and presented<br />

us with the Piggy Award.<br />

Piggy Award? Well, we didn't<br />

autocross or race and<br />

quite often were "dead last,<br />

but finished" in the rallies,<br />

but by golly, we attended<br />

every dinner meeting. Then<br />

came my term as vice-president<br />

and the Piggy Award<br />

competition was established.<br />

Cards were handed out<br />

and credit given for each<br />

dinner meeting attended,<br />

cocktail hour optional. Once<br />

Miss Piggy (aka Linda<br />

Bambina) heard about this,<br />

she rearranged her busy<br />

schedule in order to fly in<br />

from Hollywood and be the<br />

presenter for this prestigious<br />

porky award. This continued<br />

for several years then -<br />

gasp - Piggy disappeared.<br />

Oh, what a sad story.<br />

The Pigster has been in<br />

and out of fat farms for the<br />

past few years. We are happy<br />

to report all is well, he looks<br />

great and is ready to join in<br />

the Maverick festivities once<br />

again. H. Peter Pig, "Piggy"<br />

to his friends spent part of<br />

the summer with Teri and<br />

Charlie Davis and asked if<br />

he could ride with them to<br />

the Milwaukee Parade.<br />

Well, it turns out he had<br />

a great time at Parade and<br />

didn't even gain a pound!<br />

Watch out: The Pig has<br />

returned!<br />
