One way or another I would like to see Jack at this event. He put too much effort into these Waterside events to NOT show up!

Ron, I totally agree.. Jack made the event what it has become.
I know it's in his heart....

Rick,

PM me if you don't have it. I have it on my old cell phone at the house in Va. I can get my wife to get it for you.

If I was going to be there I would pick Jack up and bring him along. Unfortunately I'll miss it again this year. In fact, I'll probably miss most everything this year....

Oh Well....

Thanks Jim.. I know you offered that to Jack before since you lived the closest to him....
I haven't found the number yet, but I have in my files.... I know the Ratpack and Beachcombers would really like to have him here for this one...
Maybe if we all let him know how much we miss him, we can get him here this year...
Man stay safe out there..Because of those who still serve our country we are able to have events like this.

Tony, that's great. It would be a lot of fun to see both of them again. We need Joanne there to keep Jack in line!

Right now it looks like we'd have to move it to April 12 or 13 this year.

We'll try to get details worked out this month and post them.


This is the picture of the first time, right? I see my old girl sitting there.

Yep, ED, that was 2002....
all we could park on was the parking pad we are all in... That's why the cars are backed al the way to the edge of the grass...
a few more Vettes came in after the picture was taken...

Hey Leo! That would be great if you came back for this. Of course you will have to hope for a big thaw coming from the cold country like that.

I see you still haven't figured out that all vettes are Red and the rest are just mistakes!! Nice ride buddy.

Hey, they're only slow because they don't want to miss the next fuel stop!

Hope you make it out here Leo.
