    Just got this photo from Rich Kansky at Wynn Penske LV. Looks like Alexander had a great time today! I thought all you CA guys who met with him would like an update.

    Thanks for the photo Rich!

    Email sent to me by Bob Lebenson of actions at the Wynn.

    As I said last night, Rich Kansky and his team could not have possibly done more for Alexander. All of them stayed the entire time after 5 PM, until well after 7. And each of them participated in one way or another.

    Since I think you are familiar with the dealership, you know that the service area is at a lower level than the lobby/casino floor. Susie did not want to drive on the Strip, so she and Alexander took a special-needs taxi, with the rest of he group in a separate cab. Rich arranged that the cabs could drive right down the ramp into the service area, so that is how he arrived.

    We spent a considerable time in there, with Kevin, John and other techs explaining to Alexander what was going on with each car. As you know, he is really quite handy with his motorized wheelchair, so he could visit each service bay.

    We then moved over to the pre-owned car area, which is at the same lower level. I think Alexander was almost stunned at the display of cars in there. I specifically pointed out to him the old Penske Indy cars which are displayed.Again, people from Rich's team were continually interacting with him.

    They have a section there for "tourists", whereby they can take photos "in a Ferrari (430)", and have them mounted with different backgrounds. Of course, Alexander couldn't get in the car, but he posed in front of it while various family members took turns inside it. Two of the attached pictures are ones that Rich sent me this morning. (The third is Alexander in the service area.)

    We went back to the service area for a "demonstration" of Ferrari power. John took one of the cars owned by the dealership, and proceeded to do some max-accel runs up the ramp. That might have been the best moments for Alexander.
