Triumph "Talk"

Dave and Pam Jamieson recently contacted the OVTC to see if any of our members remembered anyone from their time in the TSOA in Ottawa in the early 1970s. Mike G. was part of that group with his 59 TR3A but Dave and Mike don't recall meeting each other ... who knows maybe they chatted at some point. Here are two newspaper clippings and a picture sent by Dave and one of the grill badge and jacket patch from Mike. Anyone know anyone from that time, or have pictures to share? Please let Mike know at web@ovtc.net.
