It was a great night
with good friends, as usual. During the closing, we finally has the
"Cruiser of the Month" plaque, I called him up and awarded it.

week, Thank You.
The
"Cruise-A-Matic" would have gone home with #479, Fritz Terpee, but
he wasn't out tonight. So next week we have $100 in the offering.
"Cruiser of the Week" went to Cruiser #749, Hank Horn and
his '75 VW Baja Bug.
I Know I
had to have left a few of those in attendance out of the report but it
was one of those great, busy and fun nights.
