Oh what a beautiful day, and a lovely day for a car cruise. When we
arrived at our regular time at Old-town, our cruiser friend, Bill Hunter
was already in line. Bill has not been out for awhile. He has been busy
with other commitments. His 2003 Ford Ranger really looks good with it's
patriotic decor. He is an ex-marine and proud of it. Ken Keel from
Haines City was back tonight with his International, he was in the
hospital. He is doing ok now. Tom and Linda Spinello from Ray City, GA
came down to cruise with us. He was a regular before they moved away.
Tomorrow is Linda's birthday. Congratulations Linda.
Mr. Pontiac and Bobby were back after a couple weeks off. Gerald had the
flu and still wasn't feeling very good. Last week was too cold for
Bobby. George Pennachi was cruising again with us tonight. He has been
out for a few weeks. He just got out of his wheelchair yesterday and
couldn't wait to get back to cruise with us. He is getting around on
crutches now and is looking well. It is good having him back. Tom Coupe
will not be with us for awhile, he is having another operation on his
leg. We pray things go well with him.
Ward Faust a first time cruiser was out with his 94 Nissan. We hope he
becomes a regular. Ryan Fontaine lost his 89 Cadillac. A car crashed
into a concrete pole and it fell on his cruiser. He was very lucky he
was not in it. The car was totaled but this story has a happy ending. He
found another 89, only 10 miles from his home, which was a lot like the
one he lost. It was even the same color and the insurance paid the cost
of it. It was good to see Ken and Wanda out with their pace car.
Doug was out but worked late and did not cruise. This was Bert's last
night as cruiser of the month. He did a good job leading the cruise.
Dave Garceau is recuperating from his shoulder operation. He is still
sore but doing well. He will be out for a couple more weeks. Repeatles
were on stage tonight and the Dukes were down on the corner of
block 4. It sure was good seeing them back and we want to thank Old-Town
for letting them come back.
We had 164 cruisers out tonight. We want to thank all of them and our
staff for another safe cruise. Our Cruise-O-Matic was $25.00 tonight.
Joe had 9 numbers pulled. No takers tonight. Our 50/50 was $116.00 and
number 03288 was the winner. A happy spectator won it.
See you all next week.
