After arriving at Mullen home at 9:30 am Sat for an 8:00 breakfast, a little nervous ( only vaguely knowing any ODSS members ,not sure if they like square trucks 66 and 72) April and I were greeted as special guests. Assisted in unlowding,filled in on what's up,Grigg Jr fired up the skillet treated us to a breakfast not soon forgotten! With mini seminars ( machine work, valve adjust and more) you realize your among a wealth of knowledge not easily found in one place. Planning a short day we we're treated to two more amazing meals( including homemade potato chips and ice cream), a tour of Griggs III SHOP, photos then award's and giveaways, we departed at 930 pm with belly's full still hopeful to get home before dark what can I say,the greatest group of people I have ever met. If you ever have a chance to attend an ODSS get together absolutely do it sincerely,Pat66
It was great to meet you two ! We hope to see you again. You have two terrific looking trucks and it was awesome to see you bring those trucks over to join us !
Pat, We especially like square trucks. Need to tamp down all those AD lines. Glad you stopped by and found enough to stay. Your 66 C60 was my highlight of the weekend. HB

Pat, truly a pleasure meeting you and April. Hope to see you again soon. I have to agree with Jim, your trucks are amazing and the restorations are perfection. So glad you made the trip and brought those trucks out for us all to see. We are already thinking about next years Homecoming but hope to see you in Winchester in September! Billy

I also want to say thank you to everyone for making my first Homecoming a great pleasure! My Dad and I didn't know what to expect when Don King first invited us, but I can definitely say we will be back. Special Thank You to the Mullen family for hosting, and to everyone that worked so hard to put this event together. I learned a lot, saw some awesome trucks, ate great food, and met some new lifelong friends.....I believe this is what its all about....
Pat, I also echo those above. Your pieces of rolling art are magnificent! Attention to detail, to those glass like paint jobs, truly stand above the rest! Thanks for bring them for us to drool over. Take care, hope to see you again, Jim

i painted red 72, drove two years trying to explain they came cab an chassis,gave up explaining and had hodges bed built, next question: what are you going to haul on red 72, hence build green 66, stop for gas in Verona on way to homecoming and immediately asked what are you going to put on green truck?
Great meeting you and enjoyed our conversation. Love your trucks!

It was great to meet you. Your fleet of trucks are amazing and I look forward to seeing them in the future. I am glad you enjoyed your first Homecoming and hope to see you at many more.
