#1 Crewman to China:

#1 Crewman to China: Conspicuously absent for the next two weeks will be Pennzoil gasman Mike “Mongo” Bodick, who embarked on a journey to China this week. Bodick and his wife, Wendie Leigh, are adopting an eight month-old orphaned Chinese girl. The Bodick family recently welcomed another family member when Wendie Leigh gave birth to 8 lb. 0 oz. Catherine Faith on August 20, 2002. Bodick, suddenly a daddy twice over, will resume his race-weekend duties at Dover.(Steve Park Site)(9-7-2002)
