Greetings from an old friend in the beehive state

Hey dudes, just wanted to say hi to the gang. I check the forum every once in a while to see what's going on. Hope you all are enjoying the great weather out there.

We are back home in Utah, have been here for a little over 2 years. I just landed a new job about 8 months ago doing global voice and data management and it's going great. More importantly, our family is growing. You will remember my little girl with the heart problems, she is 6 now and today is actually her last day of kindergarten. We are still working on some medical things but overall she is happy & active, and still very much a daddy's girl. My son is 3 and a total car nut. He can point out a Cobra, or a GT500, or a Mini-Cougar as he calls it. We have a lot of fun going to car shows and such. And not to be left out, we just had a new baby girl about 3 weeks ago. She is healthy and doing great along with mom.

Also you may remember I sold my Factory Five in 2008 but I plan to build another one when my kids are older and they can help out. For now my daily driver is a 2003 Mach 1 that gets the job done when I feel the need to drop the hammer.

We have Kirkham's shop near by and the Larry Miller collection as well when I want to check out some Cobras.

Anyway, hope you and your families are doing well. Have fun and I'll be thinking of you guys when it snows again in the fall.

Take care,
Justin

Glad to hear that things are going well, especially with the family.

You probably don't remember me (Kirkham, #2), but I wanted to thank you for setting up the Christmas gathering (toys for tots-ish) at Sutter Memorial...by far the best event(s) the NorCal group has had. We need to get on the ball again.

Anyway, Utah is a beautiful state, I really miss it (BYU Grad).

Best of Luck!

That's a beautiful family you have there, Justin. Happy to hear your job is going well. I assume you are still with AT&T. The weather has been nice but starting to become summer-like, which translate to HOT. Actually, we are over on the coast for a couple of weeks (Fort Bragg) with 63 degrees and blue skies. Pretty hard to beat when its approaching 100 at home.

Stay in touch and let us know how things are going. Maybe Duane will resurrect the Cobra bash and you and your son can drive from Utah

Ron, that's cool you went to BYU. I did a semester at BYU-Hawaii but I do sport a Cougars hat over here.

Phil, enjoy the coast. The nearest thing we have is the Great Salt Lake. lol

Great to hear from you guys.

Justin

Brian- Good to hear from you. Jim Larson and I were wondering how you were doing, just the other day! We hated to see you move but our loss is someone gain. Glad to hear you are still planning another FFR. We have a couple of more here in Elk Grove, since you left. If you ever make it back here, look us up. Also, Thanks again for all you did for the Nor-Cal group. Steve

Hey Justin --

We haven't met, but just wanted to let you know that there is another BYU grad joining the local Cobra ranks (Ron R. also) -- and wish you well.

Jeff

PS -- Utah is beautiful, but I'm a NorCal guy and just can't get comfortable in the snow.

Hi Justin.

Its great to hear from you and to see the photos. Glad to hear everything worked out with the master plan for you and family - excellent! We still meet monthly and tend to converge at other events for the most part these past few years.

Gotta a few business associates and other friends who have been spending time down there near you, and some others moving and retiring there soon. Have not been to Utah in a while, and might be going down there myself in the next year to go check a few things out. Wishing you continued good luck and take care. D

Nice hearing from you and seeing your growing healthy family... any plans for a Norcal visit in the future?
Best wishes!

Justin,

Glad to hear you and the family are adjusting to Utah life. It's nice to see the kids are getting so big. It is hard to believe that your daughter just graduated Kindergarten.

If you make it back out West, look me up and we can go for a ride again.
