When a day is as beautiful as today was and with as much
activity that was in the parking lot that there was it is hard to
remember all who came out. Bill, N2WFU was one of first to arrive in his
retired

SSR and parked in his favorite
place. 'Big John" in his GT 350. Dick parked his '66 2+2 Mustang
and headed off to eat with the better half. Linda had kidnapped Quintino when he
and his dad arrived in the daily driver after she had been shopping so
we didn't record an order of the arrivals. OK, so I was over drooling at

Mustang just where he likes it. Anyway, Bill was out in
his Blazer, Dave M had his '32 Ford Roadster, Tom & Edna along with some

"Cruiser of the Week" spot, I guess he doesn't need to be picked again
