See, you should have come to the pasture rally last summer. LeMay's
place is just down the road from here and he has an open house/auction
the same weekend. What they have downtown is just a drop in the
bucket. The cars downtown are maintained by the Clover Park Vocational
school but the one out here has a big shop. Not as good as Jay Leno's
but interesting. Everything out here is displayed with signs and such
from the same time period. Always enjoyable.............Terry
PS they are still looking for the 1.2 million dollars that has
disappeared from the construction fund.

The Downtown Museum will open in June.
The original is out in Spanaway, and is spread over acres of buildings.
Personally, my preference will probably be the big site as there are more cars, and a larger variety to see.
If your out this way it is worth the side trip, and there is plenty of parking.

Terry,

We're working our way west so sooner or later Helen and I will make it up to Washington and see the sights. It looks like this one
is for ME!
