Saw you there, but didn't get a chance to talk with you. We had to leave early because we got a phone call telling us our home alarm was going off. That will elevate your blood pressure for the 60 mile drive home. And I hear we won our first award with this Corvette.

Thanks for your concern guys. Once you have been a victim of burglary, it never goes away. You think about it EVERY time you leave home.
But in this case, everything was secure - a locked but slightly ajar door was the culprit, but really bad timing to go off when we are away and no neighbors available to check on our house.

I was wondering why you left early. The silver C5 that won a trophy wasn't there either. It is a nice show on the lawn. Ken got a burned face, even with the "popup" Lots of great Vettes and other cars. 2 of our MHCC members won as did our neighbor from down the street with his '65.
He posted photos on the mthoodcorvettes.com website and another member sent photos from PIR. That is why only 3 cars from our club at Sweethome.-most at PIR
