And Pamela with a '93 Mustang convertible from the NTMC. BTW, she won her division at the drags in Tulsa this year.
I've been prodding the Mustang crowd,
Gary Morris, any news from SCAT?

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!
Great guys. The last count was 5 riders, but last year we had two more walk up than expected.
So far the men are:
Corp. Casey Savage – USMC
SSGT. Seth Blanck – USAF
Joshua Archer – USAF
SSGT. Rupert Delgado – USA
Logan Wiese – USA
I've invited the riders and their families over for burgers, dogs and beer after the parade, which I expect you to follow suite. Please give me a count on how many mouths to feed and I will shop Thursday night. Also, what is the beer of choice.
Don, make sure you know how far it is.
Seitz house by 8:00 AM.
506 Meadowlake Lane
Heath, Texas 75087
We're suppose to line up at 8:00, but we'll be there 8:10.
There are always photo opp's. Congressman Ralph Hall never passes up the chance to get his picture with men in uniform.
Thanks again!!!!!!

Sorry for the late response. I have a passenger roll bar. Does that make it not doable. Otherwise, I can participate in the parade.

Francis,
We own Cobras, anything is do-able. If we have enough passengers, we'll drop them in the front seat. If not, you'll take the poll position with an "Armed Forces Tribute" sign.
Everybody bring pieces of "flare" for decoration. But warning; nothing for the wheels. Last year my wife interwove sparkle wire on my spinners. When I gave my Marine a "thrill ride" after the parade (which is expected), it came undone and sanded some of the ceramic coating off both side-pipes. Ouch!
"K", yes I've talked with Jim. He's having a bit of an overheating problem and wasn't sure. But of coarse I want him there. I want to see those skinny toothpick legs again.
Last year, far left:

Steve (NO British humor...LOL), and YES, I thought it was the 'fake' David...go check out that square...it IS where they held the "Bonfire of the Vanities" for two successive years after the fall of the Medici, and the next year they burned the priest Savonarola there in retribution. There is a little brass plaque in the middle of the square where the bonfires were built!
Go check out the whole "bonfire of the vanities" thing on the web, it is quite fascinating, especially now you've been there!!! We were there two years ago.

Well this is great. They just dropped four more for a total of 9.
So I have:
LuvDaBlues
SSSammy
Madmiles442
jdean
Cobra #42
Francis
Jim J Cups
Pamela (Mustang)
I need one more car. Just one more............ These signs are going to cost me a mint!
Glyn, I never heard the story. I'm back home now, but I will do some research. Sounds fascinating. If we think today there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the Medici family makes our society look like childs play. WOW!

Whoops,
It was a miss-calc. Only 8 cars needed. So we're set. But if anyone else would like to attend, please do.
Schedule:
8:00 AM my house.
8:15 AM parade line up and apply signs. The staging is 2 minutes away
9:00 - 10:00 AM parade (if that long)
10:00 - 10:45 AM hang at the school for viewing (we attract a lot of attention, well .... Kristen did .... as always)
11:00 to 1:00. I'm inviting everyone, riders and drivers, over for swimming and cookout. Burgers, brats, dogs and beer.
I need a head count.

Miles,
OK Miles, since you are sorta located at a convergence for those north or west of the destination, I propose we (me, Sammy, Don, Francis and whomever) meet at or near your place early Friday and caravan over.
What d'ya think?

Richardson Caravan?
I'm kinda concerned about us roaring onto Miles' street at 7 am. What if we rendezvous at Bone Daddy's (Spring Valley, west of US75)? Say 7:10 am departure for Heath? What say you, Miles?

Sam, very thoughtful of you to keep Miles out of trouble with his neighbors at 7am.
No doubt they will hold him at higher esteem seeing him headed to Bone Daddy's with dollar bills in hand vs. having a bunch of window rattling cars show up
