Had a visit from Mark Ascher Sunday, and that's as good as a visit from Santa Claus. Mark was on his way home with yet another award for his GS. Congratulations Mark!!!

Bill, Christmas in August, it was great. Thanks for letting me hang out in Sheffield for a bit, and thanks for lunch!
Went to a show in the Quad Cities, had a nice time there even though Will had to cancel on me last minute.

A little early notice for this, but the Heartland Regional will be in Cedar Rapids next July hosted by the Iowa BCA gang.

Beautiful car. Hard to beat an Artic White hardtop, but then I may be partial to the color.

Thanks Dan & Chuck!
It's not quite the same as being at an event with the 65 GS Family?, but AACA is a good group of guys and they run great shows. The variety of cars is hard to imagine, all makes, all types, all years up to 25 years old & older. Buick's ruled in Class 36A at Bettendorf, 3 GS cars; 65, 67, 69. The 67 was Roger James 67 GS400 convert, and the 69 was Bill Gorman's 69 GS400 convert. Both were at Brookfield.

It's been a memorable journey showing and tweaking on the 65 the past 3 years. Most memorable was the Musclecar Classic in August of 2014. The 2 day thrash to finish and show day was unforgettable. Second was the 50th Anniversary of the 65s at BCA Springfield.

Looking forward to more next year!

Oh, one more thing. Most of that show business would not have been possible without John Evenson who has loaned me his truck/trailer combo numerous times. Hats off to John!
