Wally, congrats on your award.
I regret to have missed you and my other friends and family at York this year. i was on a jet home from a job in california. I'm gonna miss Norwalk this year as well. i will be at my uncle Joe's funeral.
Wally, did my uncle Tom Sneden or his wife Barb invite you to there annual front yard party in southern md.? it's in 2 weeks and they live near Aquasco. my Sox & Martin 63 is not finished yet so i will just take my old red 63 409 car.
pm or email me if you would like to go. you would be greeted with a warm welcolme from the other "legends" who are always there.

Bob..
Thanks for thinking of me. It was a fantastic induction..Your Uncle Tom and I sat next to each other. Dave Reitz was there ( as you no doubt know)
It was a Huge show! Big crowds...then Beaver Springs on Sunday (also huge)
Truly one of the greatest weekends of my life!

re: the Z-11's...4 Perfectly restored..almost priceless these days...
Terry Prince came in from LA, Doug Hughes from AZ. ( Terry's car was one of the 4)...lots of great 348 and 409 cars too

Hey guys,I was at that show also.It was absolutely unbelieviable.All of those Z-11's in one buildings was really neat.Between the Z-11's and the 409's inside and outside,there must have 10- 15 409 cars.Sure made my weekend.I took about 138 pictures ,not only of 409's and Z-11's but of almost of all the cars in the building.Gosh,did those cars bring back some really old memories!!!I bet there was at least 250 cars inside and at least 400 or more outside for the cruise in.I'd like to show them on the sight,but I'm pretty computer illiterate.I do have them on disc,I'd be more than happy to send them to anyone who can list them on the sight.I can E-Mail the pictures or send a copy of the disc to you.

One of the 09's in the building was the "Bluescreamer and my other
restored car a "23 T Bucket" with a Buick Straight 8. last time it
ran was in 1965. I also did table duty for the "MANDRA" back in the
corner.

great pics thanx. it's the only year i have missed. even my red car has been there on display a few times.
sucks for me i was away on business. the 2nd and third pic, there is a guy with a light yellow shirt next to Wally, that guy is my uncle Tom Sneden.

Wally, go with me to his party. we can show up together in my red 63 SS-425 car and you can drive it in! the crowd will go crazy and i guarantee you'll have a great time.
