Hey guys,
We made it home - about 4:45.  We had a great time.  Thanks Tux and Lora and Dick and Jill for all the work.  I  got home, took some Aleve (to recover from my limbo moves) and am settling in to celebrate the Bears victory.  Looking forward to the next get together in April or May.  OK Bob, you've had a few hours to think it thru - what are we doing?

I too arrived home before 5:00.  However, my NFL greeting was not as nice as yours, Mitch. 
 
Long drive, but worth every minute of it.  I'll post more later, but it was great to see/meet all of you and I can't wait until spring to do it all over again!!



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

Sorry, I only took just over 150 pix.  Are that few really worth showing?

    Although my Lions lost (DUH), arriving home was good. Had a great time , even though it was short. Great to c u all again and we are looking forward to the next time. Made it home about 7 PM. Nice drive this time of year through N Indiana and Ohio. Kudo's to Tux, Lora, Dick and Jill for all u put into this weekend. Donna and I had a great time and r looking forward to the next one. Intrested in seeing what Bob will come up with, I'm sure he will do a great job.
     My most cherished memory of this weekend is my first trip to the "Wall" and having all my good friends there to share that with me. I would not have gone there on my own. Just being there with me  gave me the courage to face what I've avoided for years and I will never forget any of you for that. Thanks to you all and God bless.
 
Jim

Well it took me a LONG time to get home. I didn't walk in to the door until 7:00pm. Really. But I guess stopping by my mechanic and having the oil changed and my window fixed plus a few other things took a little bit of time out of there.
 
I had a great time. Glad it was up here this time since I am all new to this Vette stuff. Now I have no problem (besides a sore butt) going anywhere else for the one in April/May.
 
As everyone else says, thanks you guys for putting this together. I actually got to relax for a weekend.

Jim, To be there with you was also something special for me. I have always had a very hard time letting go of the guilt for not having been there fighting along side of you and our brave soldiers. Sharing our tears with you made me realize it was not by choice,and how proud I am of you and all our men and women who were.
So I need to tell you               Thank you.............. Sir
