2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Monday, Dec. 22, 1975 "Happy Landings" is the message written on the back of a picture of Jeff Cox in the Evil Knievel costume he wore for the Western Weekend parade last August. It's not the message, but who it's from that has caught the eight-year-old boy by surprise. It's signed by Evil Knievel of Butte, Montana.
