The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Winchester, Virginia 23-25 Sep 21

An absolutely *epic* weekend marred only by the absence of some very dear friends. I agree with Billy -- If we had had all the ODSS stalwarts in attendance, this would have been the alltime greatest Winchester. Gorgeous/perfect weather ... Great road tripping to and from ... epic fellowship ...

For those who missed -- you were missed!

For those who made it, outstanding fellowship! Freyja and I thank you! Everyone of you made it a special weekend ... From Nick saving my life during our harrowing duty on the gate (I'll need therapy to deal with the PTSD ....), to Josh's great hospitality in offering Freyja and I a place to sleep, to Carl's ever insightful running commentary, to Jim Schmidt's generosity in supplying adult beverages to our guests (amongst many other things), to the Southern Virginia Militia (Hardshell et al) saving *everyone's* life (by administering coffee), to the Grigg's (both of 'em) class and sheer gentlemanly friendship, To Mike Roache being a first class wingman, to George's ever appreciated entertainment and example of living the dream we all aspire to, to Pat making sure we all had his very wonderful coozies and that no one went hungry, to Mike B's Jeep Therapy ... To Sweet for making a valiant effort to grace us with his inestimable fellowship amidst his crazy schedule ...

Did I forget anyone???

Oh ...

Hmmmmmm.....

Oh yeah ....

Marlow. For being the no-kidding glue that holds this event together and makes it the benchmark event all other ODSS events are judged by through his diligence in making our camp special, our chow outstanding and the total event worth attending.

You rock. ALL of you!

Thank you for a very special 4 days!
