Thank you all sooooo much who came and supported my crazy idea about having a convention!!!!! You have all given me a lifetime of memories!!!!! I have a couple of days to wrap everything up and I'll be back on a regular basis.
A couple of observations before I go. I went up to the Embassy Suites to have breakfast with Hayden this morning and take him to the airport. The cook in the restaurant told Hayden, that of ALL the conventions and meetings that the Embasy has had....his favorite was this past week with all the hot rodders!!!!!!
As I told several who came......my overall feeling of those who were here is a smiley that Bob has put on here........
As one participant told me...several times.....this was the most fun he had ever had with his clothes on!!!!!!!!
Every participant received a REAL DOT Interstate mile marker 348 or 409 sign. It was given to them at registration and were told to bring it to the banquet. "Why" they asked??? I said "you will find out at the banquet"!!! I'm standing in the lobby Friday evening waiting to take Hayden to the banquet. The Embassy is a very nice hotel including glass elevators. As I am standing in the lobby by myself, someone gets on the elevator on the 5th floor to come down to the lobby.....carrying his 409 mile marker sign!! As the elevator was coming down, I absolutely broke out in laughter!!!! Here all these grown men coming thru the lobby and then into the banquet...carrying their mile marker signs.....AND NOT KNOWING WHY THEY WERE DOING IT!!!! That was one of my personal MasterCard moments......it was PRICELESS!!!!!
Thank you again.....it's been an incredible ride for me!!!
