Nathan - That's definitely very short notice! Since your were most likely the only Stovebolter to attend (if you did go), how about a report on the day???

My son and I went. It’s a unique format. Starts early in the morning. We typically just make a lap for an hour, maybe hour and a half, and then head home to clean up for church.
Good turnout this year. Saw lots of cool stuff but not much that either of us needed. Bought a $4 brand new Stanley tape measure and a bunch of little rubber P clamps because they were so cheap.
I’d say the highlight for me was a vendor from So IL specializing in 348/409 stuff. Way cool.
As per standard Nathan procedure, failed to get a pic of me and the boy. Did get a pic of a 64 wagon the 409 guy was selling.
Nathan - We're going to have to sign you up for remedial picture taking school my friend - hahaha! Guessing it's a little early for you to have taken the truck out?
Anything else coming up in the St. Louis/SE MO area?
BTW - One of my brothers recently moved to Granite City, IL. I plan on going to visit him at some point this spring. Maybe we could tie in a lunch meet up or something when I make the trip?

Sounds good Don. We should probably see what Joe (TooMany2count) is up to as well. Would be fun to gather, eat and tell tall tales - hahaha!
