November 10th

Tonight's Cruise-In was dedicated to Tommy Slaughter, Cruiser #1 in memory of Carol his beloved wife that passed away on Tuesday, Tommy, remember you are part of this family too, we look forward to having you back out with us, in the mean time our thoughts are with you and your family.

The weather could not have been much better for this Saint Cloud tradition. "Big Jim" rolled in before dark with his '67 Pro-Street that he has owned since it was new. This is quite a shock to see him out in the daylight. I had to quick run up and take a few pictures. The sun was very low in the sky now that fall has fallen up on us. Good to see you out early.

Our section of the parking lot started to fill up real early, one reason was that some one left a motor home parked in the prime parking spots. It was to be an eyesore all night long. This really fouls up what would have been a very impressive display of cars in the front lane.

The Crawford's came out tonight, Jim was driving a walker, this is the result of his encounter with the snake last week. Not a good idea to step back when you are on a ladder. He was in good spirits. Hoping to get rid of the walker as soon as he can.

Wally Yarwood was with Ed & Cheryl tonight, he should be with us all month long.

"Mustang Mike" reported that the "Osceola Children's home and Youth Center" has mailed us the list of names and gift ideas for the tree that should be on display next week. Mike is on the committee for the Saint Cloud Christmas parade and has a sign up sheet for all that would like to participate on December 3rd at 10:00AM. We need at least 7 convertibles for VIPs. All are Cruisers Welcome but you must sign up.

96 cars built the 50/50 to $115. Jim Crawford had the winning ticket. He donated $10 to the Newsletter.

Cruiser #280 Rolland Rousseau did not bring out his '48 V8 powered VW tonight, awwwwww, so next week the "Cruise-A-Matic" rolls up to $75.

Tonight's "Cruiser of the Week" and the Trivia winner, taking home the $10 Beef O'Brady's gift certificate, was Tom Adams, Cruiser #241, with his 1966 Corvair Monza.

See you at the FACACA lunch meeting at the Holopaw restaurant on Sunday at 11:00AM.

Here are the photos I could get in before dark.

Congratulations to the winners.

See you Saturday Nite at Old Town.
