Bob, try upping the quantity of chili peppers in your diet.  Try the little green ones that loosen up everything in your lungs, make you sweat, and wish you would die.  About half the time this works.

We will be there.  Werner and Gretchen are coming this year.

KP:

You'll have to triple Brucie's meds if you expect him to stay in the back of the room.  :mrgreen:

EXCITEMENT !!!!!!!!

I just had a call from Mr. 300 MPH Roadster, Dave Davidson.

He will be the speaker at the banquet and he also has a video with

the chest rumbling glass shattering sound from that 300+ run.

Step right up Ladies and Gentlemen. You can even bring your kids.

Tickets are still available.

If you want to attend the Bonneville NW Reunion Feb 18th at the Portland Airport Shilo Inn,

give me a call. I have to notify the hotel about the crowd size by Wednesday for certain.

I couldn't believe that you drove from San Berdoo clear to  Pomona in second gear

just because your Ed Roth style ear shift lever got bent and you thought you were in Hi.

I'll drink to that one.

Our favorite photog playing with the 40mm on the stern of PT-658:



(Really strange lighting! - bright natural daylight from the side, bright fluoroscent from above)

What a fabulous tour!

Freud...(And you other attendees...) Thanks for a great night. The hairs on the back of my neck are still standing up from Dave Davidson`s Roadster Video.....On another topic--I saw and talked with Bruce Geisler today, and he is much improved. Under the weather and a mix-up in some Meds made him a non starter yesterday, but he is on the mend.....Cheers, Everyone! :cheers: :-D

K Paul................Thanks for the report on Geazer.

I just hope he gets back on his wheels.

THANKS for offering to be his escort to the banquet.

I enjoyed our chat and THANX for attending.

In a most low key manner and voice Dave held the audience, didn't he?????

Thanks for the great evening Glenn!
 Dave gave a great talk, and revealed some fascinating stuff about the Roadster... 6200 lbs... wow! Food was great, but best of all was the chance to see everyone, and visit.

 Thanks again Freud

 Smitty    :cheers:

Thanks for a great reunion Doc, Dave did a great job, was a lot like a racer talking about his car to another racer... good video as well.
Enjoyed talking to everyone
The PT Boat is a must see, the Big Packard Motors are so cool... one running sounds great, would love to hear all 3.  I hope to make it back up during one of their events when it is out running on the water.

It takes a few days for me to get back in my own lane after the banquet and I am beginning to catch up.

I plan to try to get a note to everyone that attended but maybe this will cover some people that I miss.

The Friday night prayer service was brought to my attention by Tanis Hammond. THANK YOU TANIS.

She sent me an e-mail and Marlo helped me link up with them. They were as easy for me to deal with

as they were for you to listen to. The Friday Evening, while sparsely attended, has become a

very enjoyable feature. From the SR-71, a F104 race car to a PT boat.  Rather high level.

I appreciate everyone of you that has attended the reunion during this economic slump.

Apparently it's worth having the oxygen bottle by GrandPa's bed until he gets better.

Let's see what happens next year.
