Wish I could go to GMCES rally, you all should go....
Two of the greatest engine builders for our coaches will be there
Mondello,and Patterson
Someone has to ask them each, why they build 455s and not Cads....
this will be a great rally

Gene-
For those who may not know, Joe reorganized his business such that a
partner is running his California shop, bought 17 acres in Tennessee for
a new shop, survived some nasty surgery and a major infection that would
have killed most men, then flew to California to pick up a GMC-TZE,
drove it to Canada to pick up a toad and back home to Tennessee. He has
been in Hawaii for a few weeks, resting up.
We have arranged for Joe to do a 2 hour Technical Seminar on Saturday
morning complete with slides, photos, additive products and parts. It
took an hour on the phone for him to explain what he was going to talk
about. I learned a lot. For beginners, we should avoid pistons and
rings made in India due to poor metals and bad tolerances. Joe's
engines perform and last because he blueprints everything and coats all
moving parts with special coatings.
I'm doing the slides for him and I promise it will open some eyes.

It is nice to see Joe on the circuit again. I was successful in getting him to provide a seminar at the GMC Western States rally in Desert Hot Springs in April of 1996. At that time Joe had a motorhome supplement catalog but not the motorhome.
Some may have forgotten the specifics of the rally because of the 100 plus heat. Joe does an excellent job. Without handouts it can be a bit of an overload.
Wish I could be there
