Hello again. Wow, this little gathering has been a turbulent ride so far! I still think we'll have five or six Imperials, and that's good enough for me. That's how many were there last year and, despite the rain, I had a great time. What I'd like to hear is some ideas for an activity or two. The Arlington/Pate swap meet is NOT this weekend. It is in April, the 25 - 28th to be exact. So, no "conflict" there after all. On the Friday I intend to make a solo sojourn to the actual Pate Museum, or what left of it. I also intend to visit the Age Of Steam museum before returning too. Both of these are quasi related to the museum I am associated with, but that's no reason why it could not be a group activity. Despite his over-riding family concerns, I'd sure love to get a peek at Wayne's 1951 limo, so I hope he will be able to find a little time. Of course it will be totally understandable if he cannot. Brooks seems to have an interesting array of Imperial stuff at his house, so that could be a way cool visit, too. Essentially, I am up for anything and anything. If we get a nice little group together at a suitably easy to find meeting point, I'll be a happy boy. I still have not found a place to stay on Friday night, but I'm working on it. Hugh
