Steve, thanks for doing what I just haven't gotten around to doing (yet) -- Marie is putting me through my paces since a week off playing gearhead (or, at least, supervising the Dutch gearheads). Great pix, and it was a real treat to see another convertible. (Earl Hess, by the way, is the owner of the blue one. You can find his black hardtop in the Events section for a previous Carlisle.)
Great to finally meet you -- hope you make it again next year!
Dan

We had a turnout of 6 members cars (Dan Morton, Ken Morton, Steve Storey, Dick Skinner, Earl Hess and Mark Coudriet) and a lot more members witjout cars. I can't remember all their names but I do remember Jim Hamsher and his wife. There were several others I didn't meet before but since my memory is bad and Dan's Blackberry crashed (he lost their names and contact info) I can't list them.
I am still working on my pictures but I do have some video's for you.
Ron
Not too many cars and members but still it is too much for 1 picture so our Dutch/Canadian friend Bill Taekema made a group videoIt started raining Saturday afternoon and it was time to protect Earl Hess' convertible from the rainDick and Rita Skinner left shortly after the chicken dinner and they gave Marjo a lift back to the hotel
