Some memories of Joaquin and friends. Some of the first parties at the Bean Bandits KOA tent site (homebuilt gas powered marqurita mixers), and later the bigger parties. Sometimes I wonder if those get togethers led to the salt talks later? Joaquin showing off climbing a light pole at the tent site. Joaquin telling stories about his service in the military in WWII Iwo Jima and the Aleutian Islands. (don't know how much of it was true!). Joaquin and Jeff arguing about all kinds of things. Joaquin putting his signature under the hood of "Ethel" the famous 63 Dodge 330, our 411 chase car. Dinner with Joaquin and the Bean Bandits at Wendover. Anyhow, there's alot more memories, my Mom and I just thought of a few. We'll really miss that guy.
