Tony Pastor replied to mike walker's discussion Need some info on 1971 Miss Madison"I recall it as being painted brown in 1971. I remember this because one of that season's greatest memories is standing on the Miss Madison bow a week earlier in Detroit. I was a volunteer course worker staffing the…"
