[QUOTE=sundew]I'm out.. My wife, Judy, had knee replacement surgery 10 days ago. While she is recovering nicely, I am very uncomfortable leaving her alone for 5 days. So, I will have to skip this year's gathering. I am really bummed! [/QUOTE] Wally, I really enjoyed meeting you in Hot Springs and was hoping to get to see you again.  Maybe next time - and with your car!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Man its killing me not going to this one.

We had such a blast at Bend last year I can only imagine how cool this would be!

Thanks for the updates and have a great time!

At Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, MO.  Address is on Route 66.  Even though it was built in 1946, it has free wireless internet!!  And the rooms are just barely over $50 a night!

Unfortunately Karen and I have had to cancel our trip.  Between me having jury duty this week, our dog having a grapefruit size tumor removed Monday, we decided we needed to cancel.  We have looked forward to this all year.   We will miss seeing everyone, hope you all have a great time!!

Thanks!  Our little dog gave up the fight last night....He was a loyal companion for nearly 13 1/2 years.  We will miss him for sure.   We made the right call in canceling as much as we were looking forward to the gathering.

Hope you all are having a great time, we are still thinking of you guys and gals.........Enjoy!!
