Neil, I'm having more trouble than usual tracking with you tonight.
Are you saying that she/they said the un-earthing will not be open to the
public, or are YOU saying that?
Why would it be any less practical, space-wise, to watch that rust bucket
dug up than it was for thousands to watch it being buried in '57? No doubt
it brought little attention outside of Tulsa is those days, but isn't it
primarity car nuts who would be the only ones interested today? And more
specifically, MoPar, not brand C/F etc car nuts?
What is the POC?
Who is Gwen Cairns?
Who is "fearless leader?"
I'd be willing to contact Hemmings if you want.

Subject: [FWDLK] FWDLK Festivities.....
Dave, et al, initially, Ms. Paula Hale @/of the OK Centennial Committee,
was VERY friendly and communicative, primarily with Alumcan, and me,
regarding what/how the Committee/City might do, logistically, and
socially about Virgil's Birthday Party.
At one point, she said that the Committee/City
was contemplating having a "sock-hop", on SAT, possibly featuring The
Beach Boys.
I wrote to her, saying that the B.-B.'s would NOT be a good choice, as
they are, now, a sit-down band, & not a Doo-Wop/Get-Down dance band.
About the time that it became apparent that it would not be, physically,
possible to un-earth the Car, publically, due to "space-considerations",
Ms. hale became non- communicative.
Altho most of us would want to be physically-present, at the time of his
un-earthing, we probably WILL get a much-better, and more-comfortable
view, via closed-circuit TV , than would be possible if there were a lot
of pushing/shoving/crowding-around at the Courthouse.
As long as we, eventually, get an unrestricted viewing (&
photography!) of him, the trip will have been successful.
NOW, on another subject (which deserves its own thread; but hey, we're
only given 3 messages/day!) : Gwen Cains, of the POC, had written, to
say that she would try to contact VIRGIL EXNER, JR., to see if he could
be enticed to attend the clam-bake, & possibly, to give a formal
"PRESENTATION/seminar" on his father/personal-recollections.....
I suggested that the 'Presentation' be held at a meeting room, in the
Doubletree, & that, if necessary to cover his travel expenses, a fee
might be charged for attending his 'speech'.
The logical nite for this event would be THUR 6/14/07.
However, Gwen's husband has been ill, and I do not know to what extent
she has been able to contact him.
A formal banquet would be nice, but, beyond Fearless Leader (& Virg Jr.)
, I don't know who should be sitting on the dais.
I believe that a No-Host bar-event would be nice, but someone would have
to procure a Premises/Event Liability policy---which is NOT difficult to
obtain, but an organization, like the POC, would probably be the 'one',
to acquire that event-policy.
I understand that Dave S. has, in the past, had contact with "JR." .
Dave, if you still have cachet with him, you might try to contact Mr.
Exner, & explore his willingness to make a presentation to us.
I am fairly certain that I can arrange to secure a meeting room, @ the
'Tree.
Neil Vedder
