In Memoriam
In Memoriam 2009
The New Berlin Soap Box Derby Commission wished to recognize two very good, long-time friends who passed away in the last year.
Al and Harry were both dedicated NASCAR fans and loved watching the kids having fun racing down our hill.
These fine gentlemen were very instrumental in the growth and development of the Derby as we find it today.
Thank you AL and HARRY for your service to the community. We miss you both very much.
Harry Swanson
HARRY SWANSON, who was very dedicated to the Derby event, handling many duties for over 16 years, and who was our Commission Chairman at the time of his death.
Al Stigler
AL STIGLER, who donated funds to the Derby over the years for equipment (“Al’s Pit Stop” canopy) and to our general fund, and for many years was our “chief tripper” at the starting ramps.
