The Hawk ran like a watch. Almost bought one of those too. Next
time....
Had a great time. Glad to see who I did see and missed those who
couldn't make it.
Got a great deal at the swap meet and wished I had my pickup truck
there.
Occifer Dave cut his head on his j-hook on the hood again. I think this
is tradition now. If he doesn't do it next time he'll be docked 4
points.
Jerry and Nancy Daniels with their flawless 1937 Dictator. Jerry is a
real trooper. As bad as he feels he still comes to the meets. I take my
hat off to him.
Two of my favorite people, Buzz and Fran Beckman. Probably the greatest
Studebaker people you would ever want to meet.
Bob Palma......I can tell you that the meet was not long enough. I
always like to spend an afternoon with Bob to swap lies er stories
with. Didn't get a chance.
Don Shelton. Between Don and Bob Palma you don't need anyone else to
ask about Studebaker engines.
GT Tim and Terry Frye were great. As much as they put up with me, they
deserve an award for that.
Bob Kabchef showed up Wednesday. Always a pleasure to spend time with
Bob. One of the most generous Studebaker people around.
Dick Steinkamp and Gord drove in together. Gord wasn't feeling well but
pressed on. And I think Dick was a diplomat (not a Dodge) in a former
life.
I'm sure I missed a lot of people here. But thanks to everyone for a
great meet. At five words per minute, I'm lucky I got this far.

Thank YOU, Claude for the great pics on your website! I have a link to
that page on our local chapter site. Wish I could have been there. Flew
to south FL instead to help a sick dad. Hope to see all in SB next
summer!

Claude, one of the best times I can imagine is to walk through the swap
and listen to you critique the prices! A good time was had by all, too
bad some of us have to work. Also too bad you had to leave on Friday,
the dragraces were great!

Remember WKRP in Cincinatti? If Loni Anderson was not on the screen you
would be able to notice Les and he ALWAYS had a bandaid visible somewhere.
I loved his imaginary office.
I worked at a radio station for a few months - it REALLY WAS like WKRP.

Thanks, Claude. Always a good time indeed. No one has mentioned the
Friday NGer breakfast at Perkins, where a good time was had by all.
Best restaurant pancakes I've ever had, too!

GT Hawks did get a fair shake in judging this year. The Head Judge even
commented on that at the Awards Banquet, stating happily that there
were two First Place GTs "for the first time in several years." A
classic understatement if there ever was one.

Right, Claude: 'Nice to see StudeBob at the "Nats"

Gordon seemed to be a little better later in the week. Did he get home
OK? Feeling up to par by now?

Thanks for your thoughts, Bob.
I did make it home Ok, but I still have the bug that's been plagueing me. Should get the
results of the blood cultures tomorrow or Friday.
Taking it easy, now.
