Dean...fantastic!!! I knew once you met me you would join for LIFE

One of my best memories from this years gathering is when our group arrived and we walked up for the first time a bunch of people jumped up to come over and greet us.....you were at the head of the line to shake my hand.

So glad you went life cause we need to keep track of that excellent car!!!!

Hey Dean, welcome aboard! Were you a Screaming Eagle? Thought maybe you joined now for that reason? Hope to see you soon.

Hey Guys.....

I would like to thank you for the warm welcome to the LIFER CLUB!! Big smile

I guess this Corvette thing is more than just a "passing fancy" (I bought my first one in 1970)

so I might as well sign up for life.

I joined C3VR in 2007 because of the Vette, however, I became a LIFER in 2011 because of the

frendships of you guys and gals. Thumbs Up

I want to say again what a great time I had with you in Effingham.

Hope to see ya'll again soon. (Is that how ya say it in Texas?)

OK, guys...... ENOUGH!! ENOUGH!!

You are all wrong.

Although I like that devilish little ebo Evil Smile

, and Dan Skopp is an old military man, and what is not to like about Dennis' goody bag, and I don't even know what Adams Mali is, YOU ARE ALL WRONG!

No Dave, I was not a Screaming Eagle, however we provided direct air combat support to the Screaming Eagles.

The real reason that I became a Lifer is........well..........Ahh.......Maybe that is a story for another time, another place.

He really put it to the test. Good thing it was a rental, he would never have punished his Corvette like that. Rolling On The Floor Laughing

Alright Dean Glad to see you and that beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeutiful 72 will be around for life. Great meeting you and talking chromies at Effingham.

I would also like to take this time as we enter our Independence Celebration to thank you and all our brave men and women for they're sacrifice to our great nation. I will never forget the recognition Mike and Laurie presented to our Vet's and Military at MAM.

God Bless America, and you too!
