Folks,

Some members here already know about this,discussed at last months Hickory meeting.The Morganton/Lenoir airport is hosting a fly in/airshow on Sat May 9th,they have requested a few MVs there for display all day.I and several others have already commited to have 4 or 5 there,but welcome any others that want to participate(they only have room for about 7 to 10 at most). PM me if you want to be there and I can provide directions to my house(we are gonna convoy from here to there) and let me know if you plan to attend.

Very good day. I really appreciate Brandon for his help with the the push rod. I also appreciate Brandon for making me the proud owner of a jeep. Actually, BRUCE H brought the GPW, but thanks Brandon for the thought. If only it was that easy to get MV's.

BTW, the next Hickory meeting will be help at 9:00 am instead of noon. Still the second Saturday of each month. We are also going to try meeting at a new location. There is a truck stop that serves breakfast at the Startown exit #33 off of 321 south of Hickory. Only about 10 miles south of Hickory. We will try this to accomodate folks coming from the south.
