Re: Because I said I would...

I received my copy of a publication called Old Autos today, and this is what was said about this gathering.

"So the XX meet mood was set - relaxed & friendly, with plenty of chatting time. When ACDers are cautioned' if you decide to leave the tour, 'let us know so we won't worry', it's no wonder newcomers to this meet commented it was like a support group. Participants' cheerful friendliness & teasing included everyone.

Al & Joan Webster, who never refuse to quietly support every major local car show & event, for the XX meet, arranged tours of Legendary Motor Cars, The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame and The Guild of Automotive Restorers. He had Mike Brady follow the tour by truck, a bus standing by in case of a muddly lane, then went over the top by opening his toy barn. Our hostesses, Joan and their daughter Susie treated us to one of the tours highlights - a catered buffet under an elegantly dry white tent on their spacious 52 acre lawn. The cars loafing beside us enjoyed the pastoral setting. The Websters generously provided goodie bags, floral centre-pieces, but exploring his barn was our major treat. They never miss Auburn. We appreciated their cow-less farm where only old cars roam lush fields."


My Father, is still the same guy he ever was, and was presented with a photograph of him syphoning gas from an Auburn, at the banquet the next day.

Maybe one day Rafe...we'll have a visit.
