I'll get the total numbers today from the signup sheet.
We did have one screw up and it was my fault.
I forgot to get a group picture. Somebody asked about it after the meeting and by that time it was too late.
I will do a better report in a few days.
I encourage everyone to give a report and how it went, good and bad, I can take it, we can make it better.
Thanks to everyone that attended.
Thanks to all that put on the clinics and manned the booth.

You did a great job and thank you.
As a former kids softball coach I can appreciate all the work that no one thinks about that it takes to get any type of group together and having a good time.
Again thanks. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,436 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,436 | RATS!! I had a report written and doing the spell checking and hit the wrong button. Lost it all. Here are half the pictures that Vicki took. http://s893.photobucket.com/user/2-Ton/library/StoveBolt%20Reunion%202015Could use a sip out of a mason jar right now.

Our first trip to the Reunion--we had a super time. Great folks, great venue, great weather, great trucks. Really enjoyed the tech talks and do hope that piece will continue. Thanks to all who worked to put the event together--special appreciation to Don and Vicki. Plan to attend next year if possible.

Sorry about "forgetting" to warn you about Rusty64 and Mo2Cyl ... they are a handful when they get together, aren't they? Glad everyone had a good time. BIG thanks again to Don, Vicky, Pat, Mike, Deve, Mongo, Jim Carter and everyone else who pitched in and pulled this one off. Makes me glad we didn't quit in '00 when we were tempted to...

I'm sorry I didn't hang around a lot. My partner had 3 trucks in the show & I was around there a lot. We had a lot of visitors. I got around on my Go-Pet to see all the trucks in the show & the swap meet.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
