Ok, that gives me some incentive to get over there next week. I'm going to shoot for Thursday or Friday if the weather is nice. I'll let you know if I can make this happen.

Well, originally, Thursday and Friday were supposed to be sunny in Columbus, but now they are calling for rain on Friday, so I'm going to bring my car on Thursday afternoon. It should be over 50 degrees at that point. I'm shooting for 3:30ish landing at Frank's Westminster Thurber hangout.
DAHogan, if you can make it, that would be great. If there are any other Corvettes that want to show up, that would be fun as well.
Sis, can you get me a contact there and I'll call in advance to be sure that Frank isn't at a Dr apt or sleeping? I realize that this is short notice, but I was planning on Friday, now it's going to rain, and these cars don't handle water well.

Wow - many thanks to you all!! I know he will love seeing you and your beautiful Vettes. Don’t be surprised if he gets emotional I am going to text his wife Kathy and let her know that you all will be there shortly after 3:00. If for some reason he’s not in his room he will likely be in Kathy’s. And you can always ask one of the aides on his floor where he is. Let me know how things go and send some pictures!!!

Frank seemed to enjoy his time outside seeing the cars, so we accomplished our goal! Thanks for the pics dahogan, great meeting you and jdk971. Sweet cars you guys have, was a real treat to see them. We have to do this again, and get some others to join us. After you guys left, the woman at the front desk said that the employees got a real treat looking at the cars as well, and if we wanted to do something again, they would rope off a series of parking spots for us. It was great hearing some of the stories about Frank, he's one of the guys you read about that epitomizes the caring and helpful Corvette hobby. It's a good day when you can put a smile on people's faces...
