BECKER RESIDENT TOM LYNCH (L) and his son, Todd (R) were the only two classic vehicle participants in Tuesday’s Pantowner’s Car Show at the Community Center sponsored by the BASC. The event didn’t go off as organizers had hoped as the venue was mis-identified and most participants headed to Albert lea where the notice mentioned the show was to be held. In the photo above, Tom poses with his 1947 Ford pickup truck and Todd in front of a 1946 Willy’s Jeep.
