LeicaLad, you are very gracious and kind in your remarks. I have to say that your Wrigley is a beautiful machine and one that, were it my size, I would covet. 
Had you brought the Hetchins, there was only one other Non-American bike there. Hetchins always get a lot of attention at shows so it probably would have taken the category. I'd really love to see that bike one day.
There were a ton of bicycles once you got past the late 60's. Definitely a great time and tons of great bikes.

CdM, I do not believe the results were posted anywhere... I know that my Norman Rapide won Non-American 1950-1959, Harvey Sachs won 4 or 5 categories and Dan Artley's Bishop won Best in Show. What bikes did you enter in the competition? Maybe I'll remember... You brought a couple of Italian bikes along, correct? I guess that Wayne will eventually post them to the website.

The one in Austin was easily my favorite at NAHBS that year.
