Today was too incredible to describe! It started early with arrival of Neil Hoppe and Ralph & Karen Powell. Rob was already outside with about half the car hoods up by the time coffee was brewed. I was glad I relocated the toolbox to the patio to save so much running to the garage ;-) After...

...Jon's book arrives :-)

Ralph an Karen Powell just arrived and Rob has been a kid in the candy store (working on cars) all day! This is so cool!! Waiting to hear from Neil next. 'Can't wait for Cory & Steve tomorrow!

...Rob made it in from Seattle this afternoon. Renee picked him up at the airport, drove him to Loomis then tossed him the keys to the "Stevenson" for the remaining 30- miles to my house. It's BEER:30 now and we're waiting to hear from Neil ;-)

...The plan now is to spend quality time with Neil, Rob, Renee and Steve while waiting to hear progress of the Powell's and everyone else. Got lots of beer, sodas & snacks & BBQ stuff, but the itinerary remains totally open. Rob (so far) has to fly home on mid-Sunday, so a formal book signing...

Rob, that's great you got to meet Arlie! We're so looking forward to a great weekend here with hopes that everyone travels safe! Keep all your receipts and we'll send those to Arlie to cover as well! Gee THANKS!!! ;-)

...Will do! I'll add it to the list of many things to thank the Powells for :-)

News Flash!!! Let me toss in an idea that Jon just brought up privately. I really wish we would've thought of it sooner, but if any of you have books you wish to get signed at this gathering, PM me immediately for an address to FedEx your book and so that I know to expect it. You may ship it...

...We weren't completely homesick however. TJ spotted this GT/CS parked behind the old Lear Fan Building where we paused in "meditation" for awhile ;-)

That's because Renee (and TJ) were stuck working double shifts of ramp security during the Unlimited races and Blue Angels due to shorthanded staffing. I was way out on the pylons where the good photos could be had. I managed to get a few of Renee at work including two from about a mile away...

Cougar, Thanks! We're SO THRILLED you're coming! I'm going to settle up with everything this evening via PM & emails once I finish working today. My email is: [email protected] and cell: 530-263-3422. Too busy at the moment to monitor much lately, but we're on it! Contact me with any...

Ralph, The Holiday Inn in Auburn is perfect! That will be a much easier drive for you :-) I will followup soon with precise directions. Once again; we are so thrilled you are coming :-)

Marie, You of all people need never wait for a personal invite. I hope you can make it too!

HEY JOE! SO NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU! 'Just returned from four days at the national championship air races in Reno. After sorting thru tons of photos and preparing a news story - all efforts will be focused on Cory's book signing and a wonderful time! Reno was So Cool! V-12 and radial...

So far it's still looking like Cory, Neil, Rob, Renee, Steve, Ron, Robert ("Sarge") and Ralph & Karen Powell. Ron's cousin Roy may be here as well as some other CS folks... Donna PMed to say "maybe, but not likely" due to her schedule. Problem is - I will be away from a computer from tomorrow...

...Haven't seen it yet, but I'll make sure I do! Congratulations Scott!!

That's very cool! I've heard of a few '38's modified with the second seat you describe. How neat, your dad's history as well. I've always loved spending time with WWII pilot types and hearing their stories. One of my good friends flew P-38s and P-51s with the 9th AF in support of the...
