Lee and Dave welcomed us onto the brick streets of Old Town. That is when we learned that our good friend and fellow worker was in the hospital. Joe Rodhouse was taken in yesterday, we don't have any details yet but lets all say a prayer for him. We hope all will be well with you Joe.

We went to the Steakhouse and Stan joined us for lunch. The cars were a little slow coming in tonight but we had 191 registered vehicles by cruise time. Block 4 did not fill up tonight. Dave with his HHR, Toby with his PT Cruiser, Ted, our ace photographer, with his Nissan and Jon and Angie with their Pontiac Formula.

We met a new friend who turned out to be a new cruiser, Ron Farnham who was admiring our Thunderbird told us he also had a 1977 Thunderbird parked down the street. He said he wanted to cruise it sometime so we told him, why not tonight. We took him to the office where Esther signed him up and now we have another happy Friday night cruiser. Welcome to our family Ron. This T-Bird belonged to his Mom who bought it new. It has been garage kept and it only has 77,000 miles on it. She no longer drives and she gave this to Ron 2 weeks ago. He wants to bring her down and cruise in it. We hope she does.

Ken and Audrey with their 2006 Ford, Tony (the Loser), and George and George our favorite father and son team were in their usual spots. The Wagners and their 2006 Mustang were also there. And of course, Andy and Mickey with their beautiful 79 Caddy. Now here is a true cruiser, Karen Price came in with her red Eclipse. She has a hour and half drive one way. That is true spirit.

Dennis and Linda were here with their Monte Carlo, they also brought her brother and his wife who were visiting from Wisconsin. They wanted to come to Old-Town to see the cars. We want to welcome them and all our visitors from out of town. We had a very good crowd of spectators tonight.

We were glad to see Gina, Ted's wife, back with us tonight. She also brought her best friend and her husband. We are all proud to show off our cruisers to our friends.

We had a surprise visit by Ed Guglich tonight. As you know he has had medical and physical problems, he is looking great and seems to be doing fine. We thank his wife for bringing him out.

Under the stairs gang were all in place and socializing. They were dancing to the band on stage and exchanging presents. Ken and Sharyn Dodge were in their usual spot with their 1995 Dodge truck. Felix with his 1978 Scorpion, Darrel Jones had his 1983 Monte Carlo and George with his great 2005 Yukon. And all was well with our Friday Night Cruise.

Ted, our ace photographer, who was cruiser of the month for October received his jacket on stage tonight. Allan invited Mark with his great Falcon, (Blown to be Wild) to cruise with us tonight. We want to thank Allan and his great staff for another safe and enjoyable cruise. Our 50/50 was $92.00 tonight and went to Auburndale with Mike. Our Cruise-O-Matic will go to $250.00 next week. Dave drew 6 numbers but no takers.

See you all next week.
