I just mailed my $$ for the registration and meal ticket just this past week. Henry is on his way over in his 40 to award me another ring for my ring of fame, I will only accept if he commits to the show too!

And hello, by the way, from Kansas City. Bill Alderson's NAPCO 1-ton '71 is getting a lot of attention. And your name came up once or twice.

So fellers, I must say the chatter is at an all time low leading up to one of the biggest events of the year.
I hope that means everyone is just busy, maybe getting their iron ready for the big show.
I plan on bringing the usual for Friday night or whenever, burgs and dogs.
So, whos in???
I think I would be safe to say we got,

Sunrise/Sunset Presentation of United States Colors (Flag detail TBD)

Ceremonial Presentation of the OFFICIAL ODSS JACKETS (Can someone bring an audio recording of Pomp and Circumstance No. 1 in D major) Think: the awarding of the coveted Green jacket at the Master's golf ceremony...

Presentation of the Ceremonial Shop Towels

Review of ODSS Member's Projects and Fetes

Please discuss additional topics.

Gentlemen,I will arrive with my friend Charlie Collier (helped me complete a frame off of my 1948 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pick-up the last 2 years)at 9 A.M. Saturday morning and staying thru Sunday morning.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and obtaining my ODSS XL jacket. When I arrive whom to I see to place my pick-up with all the other ODSS members. Perhaps someone could save a spot for me. Thanks. V/R, Nick Cavallaro, Bel Air, MD

Cosmo ... Brother ... May I gently redirect the President's attention back to my previous post wherein it states (quite clearly, if I may say so myself) that ONLY after the application of several hops-produced beverages will I even CONSIDER telling you the story of how John went Angry Former Marine on the embroidery shop ladies ... (No spoilers, Hambone!).

Not tearing limb from limb, post from beam and leaving that place a smoking heap of rubble amidst cries of anguish and piteous sorrow over how they nearly ill-treated the ODSS.... Sheesh... With all the humility I can muster, I tell you that that for the things I do, the sacrifices I make, for the mighty ODSS, I fully expect to be elevated to sainthood one day...

Humbly yours,
J. Crosby
