Once again, I must thank Sarge81 (Darryl), his wife Michelle, and dads2vette (Dave) for putting together an amazing Gathering!  It was chock full of plenty of fun and interesting things to do.  I know what it takes to plan an event and it ain't easy!  I appreciate all the time and effort they gave to put this together over the past 9+ months. Now they can go back to sleeping, and just ENJOY the next Gathering as a participant.

Thank you!!!

Thanks to everyone that attended too!  So great to see everyone again, and meet some new folks too!  Amazing that Cindy (Cinor) drove 30 hours to join us.  Also, neat to see Ken (ksyter) on Saturday at Bair's.

I haven't even left Buffalo yet, but already can't wait for the 2016 gathering!

Clap  What a "TEAM".  All three worked the details to a precision event. From the thruway to Bair's and back to the restaurant was a FANTASTIC ride. We need to do a "Fall foliage" run in that area. Hope to see the group again real soon. Hugs Hug and handshakes Handshake to those who were not at the departure at the motel on Sunday morning. Heart

Michele and I want personally say "Thank You" for taking the time and effort to come up to our neck of the woods. I honestly hope that everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food and the places we went. It was great seeing old friends and making some new friends. Ya'll are a great bunch of people! I really mean that. Heart

This is only the second event I've had my hands in setting up. I have a new found respect for those who do this sort of thing. It is a very daunting task, especially with a large group. Over the years I've tried to learn from the "hiccups" that happen during previous Gatherings and try not to repeat them. But it seems no matter how much planning and prep work you put into these events, you'll always have a "hiccup" or two. If your a person like me who is obsessed with perfection and fears mistakes and failure, this is not a good career field for you. Lol. 

So that being said, I want everyone to know that if there was something that didn't go right or something that may have offended/upset you it was not intentional by no means at all. Ya'll are our friends and I don't disrespect my friends. Unless it's Dave.LOL

Before I forget...for everyone who went to the GM Powertrain Plant and if your not aware of it. There is a slip of paper in there for the GM Supplier Discount for Friends. It is a discount that only employees of GM can provide and comes on top of any current incentive or rebate. 

Hmm, maybe I could be enticed in a new Stingray instead of a Challenger. Evil Smile

Thanks again everyone! Hug

Ditto all of the above -- the "team" did a GREAT job herding all those cats and keeping the flow in there.  Had to get home in a hurry to get some rest up before running back into the office.  Fantastic gathering, so much to see and do and of course, eat!  THANKS for running with the gathering Darryl, Michele, and Dave -- best one yet and that ain't easy to do.  The bar just went very high.


finally arrived and rarin' to ride
