As I wind down my long weekend I'd like to say that the reunions just keep getting better each year. Enough kind heartedness going around to put a permenent lump in your throat. Its really the main reason I keep coming back every year. The cars are great don't get me wrong but its truly the people that make the show what it is.
Special thanks to Les and Annie for trusting me with their prized possesions. As I told a few people, the Motion car has been a favorite of mine for a long time. (I am still trying to find a copy of the magazine it was featured in) I was happy with a ride along but when Les threw me the keys I'm not sure if he really understood how very special that offer was. So thank you Les for the unforgetable opportunity.
I also wanted to thank everyone who made my wife and son feel so at home in Collinsville. As my wife is sort of on the shy side it was great to see her having a good time. Doug, Dennis, Vicki, Bruce & Co. and others went out of their way to make sure my boy had a weekend to remember. So overall, they really enjoyed themselves.
And another big thank you to Bruce, Lin, Holly and Grandma for hanging out with us for the remainder of their trip. I think Bruce will have some more pics to post when he gets home later.
Only bummer was that I missed my buddy Sam.
to all.
