Special thanks to the crew that came to our place earlier today. I really appreciate your generosity towards the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation. The C3VR crew was a true blast; I certainly hope you had fun during your visit to Carlisle.

 

Again, thank you very much!

 

Sincerely,

Hey gals and gays.    Just got back from a fantastic tour of the Miller's collection.   Sorry I didn't say all corvettes for he showed us two Very Nice non-vettes.  The Ferrari 328 is my second best he had.  Ohhh Yeahaaa....  The bicycles were another favorite.  Thumbs%20Up
 
I have to do home chores and then I'll clean up all the photos I took of the Miller's garage.   Give me some time...  Not sure when so Please be patient.   Over 200 pictures....   Clap
 
Thanks Lance for the tour and sorry for your out spoken cat.  LOL
 
Enjoyed the weather and family attended this Great tour.   Thumbs%20Up

We would like to "thank you" for showing us all your dad's wonderful collection of cars, bikes, collectable and pictures. Your dad's a wonderful man who is loved by so many people. You speaking of your dad today was really great. Carrying on his memory has got to be the most wonderful feeling in the world and I really admire you for that. He's a very lucky man to have such a wonderful family who loves him dearly. As you said earlier "good things come to good people." I truly beleive that. You have a wonderful wife and mother and it was a pleasure meeting both of them. I also love the kitty. I have one that likes to talk back to my husband. Favorite car was the yellow corvette.
                                                                    
Sincerely,

I would also like to thank you, Lance, For taking the time and effort to show us your family's collection.  It is obvious from the moment that you met us that you  truly enjoy carrying on the family tradition.  I never had the pleasure of meeting your father but I'm sure that he would be so proud of you.  I especially enjoyed meeting your mother and your wife.  Please thank your wife for allowing my wife to cut through your mom's house to save her from walking around the house.  We truly felt like we were visiting friends instead of just taking a tour.  I hope to run into you at  the All- Ford National and Corvettes at Carlisle!

Lance,
Thank you for what you did for us today!
It really was awesome to see those Corvettes (the Ferrari & the Cobra, too). Each with thier own bit of history.
You truly are doing the Miller name "a solid."
 
Thanks again!

You are more than welcome Lance!

A special thanks to you for opening your family's collection to our humble group.  We were privileged to be given the tour and were too happy to make a small gift to the Foundation.  It was nice seeing you and Michelle again and meeting your mom. 

I have posted the pictures my son took. Many of them (I think) are REALLY cool!  I have titled it:

The Miller Family Collection through the eyes of a 5 year old.

My son really loved the "Cat Car." It is a shame we didn't get a picture of it.  Tongue  Maybe Mike did!

Lunch was good too. Kudos to Jeff (Hmel'74) for putting that together!  It was really nice meeting some members for the first time, and others seeing them again.

Thanks again Lance and I'll see you at Corvettes for a Cure on July 20th!
