One would have to call this a successful event.
I was kind of hoping that Craig would get here first with the numbers, because I don't the complete count. I remember there are being about ten coaches and two owners that arrived without coaches.
We had a great time with discussions and such until some of the crowd started to complain that this was supposed to be a lunch and not a dinner meeting. We trooped in the Golden Coral that was the impromptu host, but returned to the lot promptly after eating for more discussions, stories and diagnostics. A goodly portion of the time was spent admiring the Shotwell's new paint job - Topeka Graphics deserves their reputation - come see this one at DuQuoin.
Of those that attended only a few (3 or4) will be at DuQuoin.
The weather was as good as one could hope for. The venue was great - easy to find and adequate maneuvering room. The cost was a real grabber.
Lunch was at the Golden Corral and was what you might expect from them.
We have got to do this more often.
Thanks Craig

I'm still full! And I didn't even have dessert!
I'm sorry we had to run off, just the curse of retail employment.
It was nice to put names and faces together, and to have other coaches to
look at.
Now I know why my window seems like it is in upside down... because it is!
(Drivers side, early style opens at the front; Pass. side, second design
upside down so it opens at the front.)
I'd like to do this again...

We enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to doing it again sometime. It
was great to meet other GMC'ers and see other coaches. Much fun.
Thanks for putting it together Craig.

Sally and I also enjoyed the mini rally, having just bought our 1st GMC last
week
it was enlightening to look at the 10 GMC's in attendance, we learned a lot.
Thanks for welcoming us,

Mike...
what wheels do you have on it?
Thankx
|
Those are wheel covers held on to the stock wheels by 2 small allen screws. From the infomation I got with the GMC, they are "Safe Guard Wheel Covers" out of Cincinnati and were apparently developed years ago by Stan Grueninger owner of a GMC dealership in Cincinnati. Not sure if they are still available.

I may still have 2-3 to complete the set. Let me know if I should hunt them
up and bring to Du Quoin.

Sorry I missed this one. I have a good excuse though....Since I was rained out for half of Saturday I had to use Sunday to continue working on my coach prepping it for paint.
Hope to see you all at the next one.
