NOTE:  After the car was "finished" down at Dick Bradley's place in Pompano, we hauled it up to West Palm Beach (to the Faircloth Truck & Tractor - IH dealership) for mechanical work - wiring etc...  4 mechanics worked all night to get the car mechanically "finished" and prepped to be driven to Ft. Wayne for Harvester approval before they would consider selling us "running chassis"...  E.V. Faircloth made it up and back with only minor incidences of annoyance, and Harvester gave their blessing and we were in business

Reunion Event Report

This reunion, organized by Wayne (car141), was put together on relatively short notice and took place on March 15th and was a single day event.

Ken Bragg # 1089 joined Wayne Willkomm #141, about 9:30 AM to get things set up at the Gator Harley dealership in Leesburg, FL. Joel and Linda Faircloth arrived about 10:00 AM from West Palm Beach. More people arrived, shortly, thereafter and we spent the morning ,chatting and comparing about our cars.

  A few folks made it about noon to join the discussions around picnic tables in the shaded .pavilion. Wayne had done video interviews of each owner talking about their cars, but due to a technical glitch, the sound did not record right.  The group enjoyed the provided refreshments and snacks, while looking over brochures and articles brought by Joel, Janice Kloog #1119, and Wayne #141. 

At about 2:00 PM, Joel and Linda had to head back home. The group, finally, broke up about  3:00 PM, and by sundown, the reunion had moved into the history column.  Although a bad-weather alternative was prepared, the weather ended up being perfect for the all-outdoor event. Everyone left with plans of making next years gathering bigger and better.

Can, happily report, the Ides Of March were no match for six Glassics, and, at least, four more owners. With the sunny weather and good facilities, there were lots of looking, conversations, stories, and smiles all around. A good number of pictures and information have been forwarded to Don Davis, Annexmaster, for his editing/posting on our website. Additional pictures have popped up on Facebook. A couple of pics have been attached to whet whistles (also posted on this page), so all can look for more, if desired

Plans are already in place to make next year's meet up bigger and better.

Many thanks to all of you whom have made me look good. You know who you are!

Good luck and Steady Winds

Wayne
