Received this email from Ken, he asked me to share....

Ken Smith said:
Liv and I are safely home in Kelowna. Tina and Don are safely home in Calgary.

We arrived in Kelowna around noon yesterday. Don and Tina headed out immediately for Calgary and arrived there about 8:00 pm last night. We took the route you recommended up through Crater Lake. It was a beautiful drive. We spent one night in Bend Oregon and the next night in Leavenworth Washington.

We really want to thank yourselves and other friends on the forum for your hospitality. We all really enjoyed the visiting, meeting new friends, the races and the entire trip.

The car never faltered. Dave would have been so truly honored if he were here: firstly for the support from friends and secondly taking home the Wally !

We would much appreciate it if you could pass on our thanks to the friends on the forum.

We can’t commit for next year at this point but it would be great to get together again. As the time draws nearer we will send you details of events around our area should you be interested in traveling our way.

Please keep in touch.
Thanks Again.

Best Regards………..Liv & Ken.

Bill, so glad ya'll made it home safe and sound. Take good care of Ms Bela, A '62 belaire 409/409 (black) sold yesterday at the Auburn auction for 84K.

I saw that too. Wondered if that was the 500 miler with the head studs, but no mention was made of the mileage that I heard. Good looking '62.

Everybody at the table appears to be smiling and having a good time. That's what it is all about. Wished I could have been there. ;)

What is wrong with beer flavored beer:dunno

oh, nothing, but it still need's some salt!!!!Different beer for different place's . When i was at summer camp in guernsey wyoming when i was in the national guard i walked into a bar and asked for a coor's beer and the bartender said , what's that , i was amazed he never heard of it, of course that was in 1963.
