Pat and I left home in NW Ohio for the work rally at the Miller’s “compound” in Hamilton, Oh on Friday morning. It was a miserable day, weather wise. Cold, overcast, and sometimes raining. We met up and caravanned with new GMC owners, John and Debbie Pryzbylek from Swanton, Oh. They had their dog, “Riley” with them, and also Matt Collie. Matt, from Michigan, was hitching a ride with them because of his recent coach problems.

On Friday afternoon, Bob Burkitt got a call from John and Candice Armstrong (and dog “Bear”, from Lancaster, OH) that they were stranded in their GMC on the Interstate some 40 miles east of Hamilton - no gas, maybe no spark. They were finally able to get the coach going, with the help from a can of Ether, and they arrived around dark.

The weather on Saturday and Sunday was much better and pleasant. John Armstrong, Matt Colie, and Paul Lehman, and various other “onlookers” spent most of the day R & R’ing John’s fuel tanks. They found a burned fuel sender in one tank, and corrected some other problems, including replacing the fuel pump.

Jon Payne and his friend, Luis, and Jon’s father-in-law, Don (previous owner of Jon’s coach) were there, and they worked on his dash a/c. Ron Bolser came for the day in his Tracker. And Tom Beredino (sp) also attended – he lives about seven miles from the Millers.

Once again, our hosts, Jim and Nancy Miller, and son James Miller were as gracious as ever - the food was terrific, and the ability to use the ‘pit’ in their neighbor’s commercial building was again very much appreciated! All in all, another great get-together!

(You may have to use the sort feature for the pics - Matt's pic is supposed to be last, if it isn't)
