Was great spending time with the crew and wonderful to meet everyone. The forwardlook folks were also a great bunch and were most hospitable. Will try a few photos-
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!
We headed back to the hotel to find Dick and Rita Skinner to eat with the 59 club, they arrived after a few minutes and already had dinner.
Talked about the Suburban and made some pix
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 video
It started raining Saturday afternoon and it was time to protect Earl Hess’ convertible from the rain
Dick and Rita Skinner left shortly after the chicken dinner and they gave Marjo a lift back to the hotel
Can you believe it - it only took 15 years for me to move the content below, from the “Events” section of the old website to where it belongs, here. And here I am thanking Steve Storey for his post of 15 years ago, promising to get to it soon - and now Steve is gone. But his nephew Brian is now the proud owner of his uncle’s car! Gotta get him in the Showcase…
The start of our journey to Carlisle 2009! Waiting for Ken and Rob Morton at the Valley Forge Toll plaza. We’d never met before this – but figured we might be able to recognize his car!
Jim and Irene Hamsher. Hope to see one – or, both – of your '59’s next year, folks! (A posthumous post; Jim has since passed on, and his SF convertible is now owned by Chad Coulter)
Dick departs, returning later in the day for the photo-op
One more pic – this from a visit to Curt Lambdin’s home just before Carlisle. Ron and his canine friend, Marjo, Matthew, Andre and Jo Ann Lambdin – with Grace Lambdin and her friend in the foreground. Best wishes to Curt in his courageous struggle to recover from recent health setbacks.
