Rob- What the heck is an "Escalade", Is it a slang term for "escalator" or what? And how can any self respecting Letter Car owner drive a "brand X SUV" when the Hemi C is out there or a new Hemi Magnum??? Oh lordy what's next? $2.00 a gallon gas?--Oops that's already here.... Sorry everyone- just could not resist a little humor. ( I know it was "little" ...)

Spent Memorial Day weekend in Branson, MO. and it was by far the best Memorial Day that we ever spent. The patriotic fervor is so high at Branson..ate breakfast in Mike Radford's REMEMBER WHEN Cafe at the Radisson Hotel, loaded with veteran memorabilia...saw great shows all with a tribute to veterans and active duty forces. Being a retired Navy Captain it was near and dear to my heart. It was also neat to stumble upon the Budweiser 300C stein at one of the Branson gift shops....something I instantly purchased....the clerk said that the 300C was so beautiful as depicted, said that he never saw one in real life...and asked why I chose this stein...well I probably was blushing but had to say that I OWNED ONE! I clarified that I had the hardtop of course...then the guy went on to state all the neat details about the '57 300C! Unreal to have met a person so passionate about this car and never having seen one in real life! This discourse of course cost me time and money for my wife managed to find a quilted bedspread, etc. while I was going on about 300s with the store clerk! Then on the way home yesterday.... Marnie spotted a black 300C hardtop on Rte. 44 heading east (she was driving and I was in the back seat of the Escalade watching the Blue Collar Comedy Club). We both thought it very patriotic for a 300 owner to be out showing the COLORS of America emblazened on our beloved 300s on Memorial Day! 300'ly, ROB KERN ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
