{Chrysler 300} Pasadena Meet

We departed the meet shortly after the banquet to fight the traffic and get home and made the trip without a problem. It is only about 38 miles but with two old people and two old cars it was challenging. After moving a bunch of cars around and putting the 300B and '54 T&C safely to bed we did the same.

I had serious doubts regarding the logistics of this meet and was vocal about it to the officers and board members but I must say that Bob J and Rob K and Noel H did an excellent job of moving a large group of people around the greater LA area. It came off without a hitch and knowing my close buddy Rob I should have known better. The venues of Leno's, WB studios and the Petersen were great and a special shout out to Jay for being so generous with his time and collection with the two very large groups of us.

We got to see many friends and share some memorable times and of course ate way to much of the wrong kind of food but isn't that what vacations are for?? So sorry that Gloria and Allan were not able to attend but rest assured that JoAnne Jones is almost as short as Gloria so I had a great time teasing her. Ray and I discussed politics and as always never agreed on anything but I know I enjoyed those talks and I think Ray did as well. It was great seeing and visiting my buddy Don Cole who let us store our clothes in his room for the last day after we checked out of the hotel. Bob and Elizabeth W. and also Jeff and Dee M. There are many more names but it is still early and I need caffeine so forgive me if I forgot anyone.

Our meet was complete when we saw Bill and Marilyn Allen's rig there and we spent much of our time with them. For those of you that do not know this couple you are truly missing something. I'll say it again that they are two of the nicest and most kind people of the planet and we are blessed to call them friends.

We got to meet lots of new faces and now can put faces with the names. In closing I'll state we are looking forward to the next time we can gather with some of our favorite people of God's planet. Safe travels home to all who attended.
