JohnD1956 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Okay, we have a group of 21 as of this writing. Of the 21, 16 are forum regulars and 5 of you are bringing guests. The door is still open so anyone else who wants to join in should still feel free to add their name to this thread. Review of the survey shows 16 people have voted, and 56% favor noon time at Hooters. So I'll contact them today and see what needs to be done. I'll repost when the plans are established. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therios Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm hoping to be there with my father again this year. (I think he's up for the drive from Chicago!) JohnD, in case you hadn't counted us in yet, I can confirm that my father and I will be at the forum breakfast/lunch. We arrived in Springfield, MO around 4pm today. We made very good time in my father's 2013 Enclave. Only 7 hours and 15 minutes from the north suburbs of Chicago to the Springfield Doubletree Hotel down the street from the Ramada. (And that includes a brief detour in St. Louis to drive by and around Busch Stadium.) Looking forward to the events of the week, and especially to the forum gathering on Friday.

Thriller Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Well, I finally own a turbo car. Marck made the mistake of sitting at a table with a bunch of guys with pre-war Buicks. It looks like his Reatta will need to stay here as he'll only have room for one car on the trailer and that '39 will look mighty pretty behind his truck heading to NC.

Thriller Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Wait a minute...no I don't have a turbo car...that thieving Middleton. I'm going to have to have some words with him (and drink some of his beer)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 This years Forum Breakfast hosted 34 people. It was an unusually active swapping session with "The" can of Spam making an appearance ( Thanks Cindy Livingston) and also the reappearance of the remainder of the fabled Serbian Brandy, which was broken down to a dozen small bottles and given as door prizes. This years Buickman Award was presented to Sean Smith in absentia. Larry Schramm was a close runner up. Both Mark Shaw and Joe Taubitz tied for honors. Larry was there to receive his award. Thanks Brian De Pouli for taking a lot of pictures. I'll have to post them at a different time cause it's an early day tomorrow.
