Jerry -

As a working class stiff, I could only attend Saturday, for the all-Packard show on the South Lawn of the Music Hall, and Randy's fine '56 Four Hundred has become the de facto meeting point for us. Did you stop by there?

I hurt my back a few weeks back, and it's still bothering me a bit. So, I spent most of the day camped out behind Randy's car. Owen_Dyneto, Ole Book and friend John Harley spent some time there. Packard53 came down from the mountains of PA again for a few hours, and mlgrimes and paulg3 stopped by to say "Hi". I caught Pac-manDon on his way in, and he gave me the heads-up on an S-P meet in OH coming up next month, which I'll post in another thread. Late in the day, I met frederickr, whose '56 Clipper Custom hardtop had been parked only a couple of cars away. I also got to meet several newcomers to the Packard fold who had not heard of P'Info, but will be checking it out soon.

It was a blustery day, but much drier and better-attended than the wash-out of 2006. Having been in the hobby for over three decades, I don't go as much to see the cars anymore, as I do to meet up with some of the fine fellows that I've met online and talk Packards.

It sure is nice to see how this site has helped get more Packards back out in circulation.
