know that First Place will still be heading North when we leave St. Joe. The doctor told Sue she needed a vacation so eight of us took off for Canada. No better way to relax than to spend two glorious weeks in an old sports car, top down, with friends. We took lots of pictures to help jog Sue's memory. Customs checked out Jim & Jo's suspicious-looking Porche, but they ignored us. Just as well, given all the prescriptions Sue carried, they'd have thought we were drug-runners.
By the end of fall, Sue had quit one of her jobs. She was still having aches and pains but the free time allowed us to see some home football games. The motor in the B gave up the ghost and the rear dent was joined by a new one along the door sill. Sue's Bugeye was still untouched. I got three new Hillmans to work on and my car trailer was stolen.
But now it's a new year! I just know it is going to be GREAT! My bad luck got passed to some college team. Sue has a new Specialist and a new Chiropractor. The three Hillmans got dumped on...er, stored at Dr. Danielson's place. My sweetie found another job so she's back to three (Ed.Note: Four, if you count Marvin) and we're making progress on fixing the Chrysler.
The planning meeting yielded some great things for us to do this year. Look for your preliminary calendars soon. Also, any suggestions and additions to the calendar are really wanted. See you all at fish and have a great year‚I plan to!

7th Annual Missouri
Endurance Rally
by Robert Rushing
It's down to the last three months before the 7th Annual Missouri Endurance Rally begins. Time to be getting your car ready while it sits over the winter months waiting for spring.
