Word came down the grapevine today that Steve Thompson finally took the plunge and married the sweet Nancy O'Brien. Perfect pairing.
Our best wishes go out to them, with a very special Merry Christmas!

Thanx!
As 2009 winds down, I am looking back at the fading year (gotta do it quickly, because my memory fades almost as quickly these days). And I would like to take time out to thank those of you who made a difference in my year.
Dick Fritz, always there to keep the PT rolling, and keep me posted on the Coastal Cruisers
"Mac" MacDonald, who does a lot of the footwork so we don't have to
Ken Matthews, who is not afraid to speak his mind - often - and for his support
Tammy Matthews, for all those great donuts
Jim & Connie Peacock, for a helpful hand more than once
Larry Cote, whose funny dialogues brightened many a day
Dale Chasse, responsible for 21,436 hilarious emails
Robert & Donna Sanborn - thanks for the canning supplies
Bill & Rudina Gribizis - just for being the great, energetic folks you are
Seldon & Polly Von Herten, for their dedication to the hobby, and sharing with us all
Ron Hayes & crew, for the great show at Settler's Green this year
Stan & Cheryl Page, for keeping me posted on events, and providing the venue for the HotKarz Awards
Roxanne Gerry, for her support and researching info on events
Ralph & Ulla Stowell, for everything they have done, and for the fine friends they are
Of course, many more of you also had an impact, but as I said, the memory ain't so great anymore, but please know that my family and I thank you all, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas Party
The Christmas Party gatgering at Two Trails went off without a hitch. Everyone had a great time with the Yankee Swap, and there were a lot of laughs.
It was great to see Stan & Cheryl, Jim & Connie and others arrive, along with the "regulars". Cheryl wanted to know why my other blog hasn't been pointing out the imperfections of the current president and his minions. I told her it is no longer necessary - everyone seems to be catching on. No need to beat on a dead horse.
Stan tells me that there will be a "car folks" gathering at C.H.O.P. in Cumberland on Tuesday, January 12, starting around 5:00 pm. Yum - PIZZA! Try to get there early - as you know, seating is limited and I doubt you want to sit outside at the picnic tables!
Two Trails is having their monthly gathering at the Diner on January 9th, 1:00 pm. Everyone voted to have ANOTHER Yankee Swap, and it ain't even gonna Christmas. Guess they really enjoyed yesterday's swap.
Someone we know is looking at an unrestored '29 REO in excellent condition. 16,000 original miles. Lucky SOB. Can't tell ya who it is yet, 'cuz he wants to see if he can cinch the deal, first. Can't blame him.
Looks like we're gonna have another NEW show to attend next year - they're thinkin' seriously about it, and want a copy of the Car Show book, to help get it together. That would be great, having another good show - it will be in an area that currently does not have much going on as shows go. They've asked not to tell who they are yet, 'cuz they have not made a formal decision. But I'll fill you in when they give the go ahead.
Well, 'til next time...
