Joe/Helena,
We will definitely be there for the Friday night Pool Party, can't wait to get there. Hope Helena is doing well now. We only have one Crossfire now, but the new owners of my Alabaster Roadster, will hopefully join us, nice guys and they live in the Fort Worth area.
Terry, Margaret. Buddy & Bridget.

Looks like that will be the end of our Spring Vac. Add Diane and I, we will come down on Friday also.
Hey Joe, have some cool drinks waiting for Diane and I at the pool.

Add John and Eileen Penz and SNOW WHITE. Thanks Dan for picking up the Battle Flag. Too bad the dates don't coincide with making this a CAA event.

That was the ONLY one of the TMS's I missed, didn't even know Crossfires existed then, BUT have not missed one since then, AND WON'T. We have made some fantastic freinds at these events, and hope to meet many more.
