Bruce, Eric and Mary Davison at the Revs Institute.


[The re-opening of the Revs Institute prompted Eric Davison to pay a visit with his wife Mary and son Bruce. Davison has an unusual and long history of involvement with the early years at Watkins Glen, as recounted in his eight part Memoirs of Watkins Glen for VeloceToday. For Davison, this visit to the Revs Institute brought it all together. It began when Davison’s father brought young Eric to Watkins Glen, beginning a three generation span of Davison car enthusiasts. Next week, Revs welcomes the Davisons, where the Bu-Merc and Ferrari 166 are on display once again. Ed.]
