Barb and I also want to thank Marilyn and Bill for a wonderful meet and a wonderful time. The landscape and scenery in southern NM were really special and the experience of a Club picnic at that White Sands National Monument will be unforgettable. I?ll also long remember the landscape and terrain at the Allen?s home; it was spectacular. Overall though, it is the friends and members you get to see or meet again, or get to meet for the first time, that are the most memorable for me. While I understand the complications of hosting a joint meet can mean a lot of extra work, I?m thankful for the opportunity to meet new folks and see new cars. While it is may seem odd how Club affiliation has been established, I was glad to meet David Stock (WI fellow) and NM rancher Arch (Buck) Wilson, from the ?Western Club?. It was also a real pleasure to meet AZ racer Hershel McGriff (do a ?google? for Hershel?s impressive resume), and author, engine builder, engineer Charles Clark (CO), who are members of our International Club. I read most of Charles? book ?Bootlegger 40 Ford? on the long plane trip home and really enjoyed the stories. Charles had told me ?the stories are all true except for the parts I made up?, and I now believe that.

Thanks again to the Allens' for their hosting of the event. The booklet, outlining day trips , routes and general info., was super helpful and gave us many options for our free time. It was obvious that the planning took quite a bit of time and effort and we just wanted to let them know that we appreciated all of the work that went into this! It was good to put faces with the names we see on the e-mails and we look forward to attending more events in the future. Steve and Sandy Beard Delaware, Ohio _____ From: c300@xxxxxxx To: chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; billandmarilynallen@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Kudos Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 22:01:34 -0700 Dear 300?lies: I am reminded that ?kudos? is not the plural of kudo, but rather it is a Greek word meaning ?praise?. So, high kudos to Bill and Marilyn Allen, to the many unseen hands that assisted them, to Bruce Toelle for recognizing so many of those unseen hands and even to the Chief Meteorologist who granted us a nice dry window of opportunity to show our 300?s and other MoPars on Saturday. The Allen?s combined their exquisite southern and southwestern hospitality with the superb planning and replanning necessary to serve the needs of the contingent of the faithful that seemed to grow day-by-day. The Alamogordo area is beautiful, full of history and contains enough features to keep one busy studying them for a long time. We can see why the Allen?s chose this place for this chapter in their rich and full lives. The Barber?s had an easy 2 ½ day trip back to sunny (and tinder-dry) California and remain deeply appreciative of the great efforts of all who made this another successful joint meet of the cognoscenti of Beautiful Brutes. Please excuse any duplication of this message as I am sending it via bcc to all the e-mail addresses I was able to find for the attendees. Forward Looking to the next meet.
