Thanks Marshall -

We heard Mike say someone took care of their check but we didn't know who. Thank you ! Sharing breakfast with them was a perfect ending to our trip!

We all wondered that. We weren't sure if someone told them there were lots of Corvettes there; if they happened to see them and stopped; or as Barry mentioned, it was simply coincidence. Regardless, it was really amazing to see them walk in.

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

I think Mike and Lori are great people that are really down to earth.....I was just as shocked when I ran into Mike at the Walmart the evening after Moonshine. He couldnt have been nicer and wasnt the least bit bothered that I approached him to say said hello and thanks for having us....

He even remembered and had a laugh with me the next morning when I pulled into MAM

One thing I learned with this group is to never pass off on a good steak!! Really can't beat having him show up like that..and sit down like he's one of you!! Now that's scary! !!
