Skip41, for the first 6 years I had the Southern Reunion here in Spartanburg. (the last ones at my house) However, last year I could not do it. Health issue's family events and my father in law has needed much of our time and help.
Ernie, in Strawberry Plains, did it in April last year. We wish it had been better attended but since it was the first I think it went well and Ernie really put on a FEAST.
...and before the "Southern Area" expanded to take in more territory my "collection" of email addresses for the southern bolters was kind of out dated. I still currently have over a hundred names on the Southern list but it does NOT contain a lot of the newer, and older, guys in Tenn. Va. Fl. Ala. Ms. and so on.
Personally, I had planned to try have it here at my house this year but currently its not looking good. I was wishing for an April or May shot here but its looking doubtful.
A lot of the "charter" members are from S.C. N.C. Ga. and part of Tenn.
Since some may not be able to drive the distances it'd be nice to have several spaced around the area. I know Brad54 would welcome us to the Ga. Swap meet at the Alanta Dragway but we need someone to contact him and go out and maybe help set up a tent and hang the flag!
All this being said, ANYONE wanting to have what we now call a GABFEST feel free to pick a date, post it here and lets do it.
We can start a new thread for those coming and I can keep up with that and moderate it.
We have a GREAT group of Southern Bolters. We always have a good time and enjoy stories and old trucks.
Note: some folks I would like to add to the list but some never list their email address in their profile and it takes time to PM and do what needs to be done.
This is the TENTH Reunion in Kansas City this year and will be the Southern Bolters 6th....... say, anyone want to join up and go to Kansas? We have a blast there to........ Alvin
EDIT: Earnie has since got married but he did indicate to me at one time he could do it again. We need feedback and who and how many could do it. Ernie, you listening. What you think..... and ANYONE else. Time is ticking and we need to get going/planning if we want to do something. Heck, I want to go to Florida to one Wayne and guys have been doing.
