    Butch has finally retired. This has been in the works for quite a while, but it finally happened a week ago.

    As most of you know, Dennison International is one of the premier restoration shops in the world.

    Mike Velsher has taken over management of the business. Mike was a senior long-time employee of Butch. The location and employees are unchanged.

    The business name has been changed to:
    Northwest Vintage and Classic, Inc
    11203 Benston Drive East, Suite 500
    Puyallup, WA 98372
    253-435-9143 - phone

    Regards, Kerry

    Was great working with Butch and Mike on a couple of projects. Simply the best team.
    In fact I will be moving 2 more projects to Benston Drive in January. Looking forward to more great solutions and great working relationship, again!
    Clear understanding of goals and methods. Xlnt 'out of the box' thinking too!
    Thanks Butch, and see you soon Mike!

    Mike sold me a pile of GT4 parts for pennies on the dollar, like a dummy I didn’t buy the engine with carbs for 2500. Heard it’s a coffee table now

    I thought Dennison did excellent work on my 308. I don't think it ever ran better after they were done with it. I hope Butch enjoys his well deserved retirement. I wonder if he'll putter around the garage fixing up cars like normal retired guys do... ;)
