  • People you ran into? Also, thanks to the Freaks!!!

    Just wanted to say thanks to all the great people we ran into on the trip. Awesome time.
    I was wanting to meet up with Chad once, took Mobile to be able to finally say hi!

    Sorry for not hanging much...heat and my wife didn't mix well.

    I managed to run into David Freiburger entirely too many times, For a busy man, he stopped to give us some help and direction, plus at least said how you holding up?

    Stupid, but pretty cool to me.
    Also, thanks to the guys for offering to help out in Springfield with my brakes.

    I agree. I also ran into a lot of great Freaks.

    I need to apologize to Bob (1956NY150). Saw you a few times and never got a chance to get over to you. Sorry.

    And a REALLY BIG apology to Bob (BlueLightning). You came up to me to say hello and I can't remember why, but my mind was elsewhere and I think I completely dis'd you. Next year, I've got the first couple of beers. Or if you come down to Orlando for Turkey Rod Run or the Lightning show, let me know. You are welcome to stay at the house. Really sorry.

          agreed....very difficult, if not impossible, to meet as many folks as one would like....the venues are so big, and so spread out....running in groups is tough, given gas stops, side stops, etc.......seems like meeting folks at the hotel is better, but then....there's tens of hotels where PT'ers are staying, impossible to get to them all.....anyway, a great time on this tour (w/o the accident, watching the HR site for donation info, sincere thoughts and prayers for the family).....rexx

                      I for sure met Bob (BlueLightning), Terri - ElCaminoGirl59, Chad and Daphne, and Charles (Impala_Guy)

                      I know I met others, the days kind of merge into one long memory though, haha.

                        talkin about running into people..while on the USS Alabama..we kept hearing someone calling hubbys name really loud, finally someone caught his attention & told him to look up two floors above us, a lady was yelling for him...hard to imagine but it was a second cousin he hasn't seen in 35 years! Scary that he looks that much like his dad that she could recognize him after all that time. her hubby, son & grandson had been on tour all week, but we didn't know them...made for a fun few minutes of reunion time! We were first timers, had a blast all week, for sure didn't have any idea we would be busy all the time...non stop action! Not one minutes car trouble from the mustang, hubby did a great job on restoring it! See ya'll next summer!!
