I have already done his name tag so that gets him a seat at a table.

He just can not bring his own beer.

The hotel frowns on that.

Now that I know he represents you he can have a grass hopper in his salad.

While I have never personaly observed such, I'm willing to bet he's a grasshopper eatin' mutherflipper.  :-o Wayno

Bob:  When we were in Portland for the Reunion a few years ago I visited your house.  do you remember if Nancy was with me?  I don't know -- but do know that if she was there, she did manage to escape with her morals intact.  The blower on the coffee table makes it all understandable to one and all.

  Come to think of it, my favorite necklace and ear rings are missing.
  Would that be a good enough reason to demand a strip search (of Her, not You)?

  Mike, you qualify as a out of towner so you are legally elgible to stop by Saturday .  There may be twenty people or two (me and you?) but I am sure there is something here to entertain yourself.  If all else fails I will drag out my box of 1960's MAD Magazines and you will discover why I am slightly twisted (according to Stainless, the swine).

Bob:

There's hope for you after all - if you've got Mad from the 60s.  I started reading Mad in the 50s and sometime late in that decade or early in the 60s I got a subscription to the magazine.  I was the envy of the others in 6th grade at Chikaming Consolidated School #39 but the bane/brilliant kid of my parents.  They were proud that I wanted a magazine subscription (feeling, as they did, that it proved that I was a great early bloomer that wanted a magazine subscription, but sorrowful that it was for something as silly as Mad and not a literary work like, maybe, unh, Playboy).  It wasn't 'til I was a senior in high school that Mom bought me a subscription to Playboy. :-D :cheers:

In their early days, Mad Comics had the two best comics artists in the business-- Jack Davis and Wallace Wood.

End of thread hijack....Potrzebie.

Thanks, Bob.   If you can catch up with those Kansasians (?), follow 'em on over.

Well we have put another one in the can.

Ray the Rat has the fotos and he is occupied for a while.

There will be fotos to follow.

Some of the highlites; The bidding battle between Tony Thacker and Richard Thomason

for a copy of the foto on the 1974 program, the Jerry Jones driven roadster in

front of the timing tower with the chute out, netted $350 for the El Mirage Womens Association.

The replica of the twin engined Triumph Thunderbird bike that Marlo Treit built and rode

at B'ville in 1959 to a speed of 174 MPH. The new paint job on Target550 streamliner model.

Dan Warner telling about his close brush with a record before he finally cracked the 2 Club.

A supreme dinner served by the chefs at the Shilo Inn.

Pictures of the 5 foot long sturgeon that Judie Amo caught on a Columbia River fishing trip.

One Run Bob being presented the Studebaker award for the second time for the the fastest, 53-54, Studbugger.

Tony Thacker of NHRA Museum fame, describing the World of Speed Auto Museum that is being built in Wilsonville, OR.

Thanks to Bill Reilly ( Parkland Aotosport.com) and the Two Hundred MPH Club for financial support.

February 21, 2015 is the date for next year.

Pictures and more descriptions on the 11:00 o'clock news.

THANKS to everyone that attended.
