A Reunion of Long Time Friends

[Bill Pritchard]

Through high school and beyond (from the mid 60's to mid 70's), I grew up with a group of guys who were as car-centric as I was (or still am ). We mainly hung around at one small Union 76 filling station and car repair shop, both during and after (many nights WAAAYYYYYYY after ) normal business hours. The station owner’s son was one of our group. Many of us have remained friends and in semi-regular contact with each other, while others have headed off in other directions, as often happens in life. About 20 years ago we had a “Reunion” of the old gas station gang at our town’s annual car show, and everyone who was able to attend had a great time. Many of the guys brought their cars to that show.

Over the past winter, several of us got talking and decided it might be about time for another “Reunion”. My wife and one other wife were the driving force behind the latest “Reunion”, which happened recently at a Cruise Night at the local A&W Restaurant. It’s always fun to get together with old friends, and everyone had a great time. Once again, many of us brought cars to this Reunion, and I thought I might share some pictures with you.

The restaurant owner was kind enough to welcome us
