I was a member of the TCA in San Antonio when I was assigned to Randolph AFB, 1994-1997 and attended the show in Boerne a few times. Great Corvette club and great show. The '75 is the Vette I had while in San Antonio and the '66 is the one I have owned since 2000.

Boerne is one of my fav Texas places, like Bandera and Fredricksburg. But it has gotten crowded around there the last 20 years or so. I always make sure to drive The Twisted Sisters when in the area.

Great looking vettes!!!... I still have my C-3 too (honestly, I prefer it ....ducking now). We probably brushed shoulders sometime in the past as I've made most of all the cars shows here since 1989!

Amen to THAT, brother....Boerne’s population grew from 10,471 in 2010 to an estimated 19,109 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Popular bumper sticker seen here now, "Boerne Texas...gone forever!" lol

Unfortunately , that’s happening all over the state. Not the same as when I grew up in the ‘50s

Man! I’m sounding like a grumpy old fart!

No doubt we knew each other in the club🍻 Remember these beach towels the club sold (probably in 95 or 96)? Still have mine.

Rats! My FIL who has a ranch in Boerne (spans the Cibolo creek on Upper Cibolo Creek Road) usually reminds me of this event, but I missed it this year.

Here he is standing in front of my ZR1 outside another south Texas institution near Boerne.
