    Wayne, I talked to several people at Raleigh, Voss, Schmidt, and others about a reunion next year at Deoue. Perhaps we can get Simison, Hoppy, Jerry Peterson, Dick O'Dea, Johnny Yale, to name a few to come. We need someone to head this reunion up & to get r dun!

    Default I agree John

    I was hoping to make DePue this year, but our trip to San Francisco came too late. Debbie wants to go see our erstwhile neighbors in Hawaii again next summer. Not firmed up yet, but if we do, I am pushing for taking off as soon as school is out so we can get back in time to go to DePue. So let's start working on it.

    BTW Ray Yates called a couple of days ago and the LSBRA reunion will be at the Baytown Boat Club at Highlands, Texas Feb 11-12, 2006. There will be future reminders.

    Default Depue 2006

    Hey Ron, no problem, I got my Pro-Motion newsletter and it shows the Nationals tentative for July 26-30. Make plans now. I am not much of a planner but anything I could do to help count me in. Anybody heard what Paulie Bogosian is doing. Havent seen him and his family since he visited the Springfield race about 12 years ago.

    Default Reunion Idea

    I would suggest Friday night for a Reunion Party. You might able to arrange something at Pikstick's (SP?). Paulie Bosnich would be a good contact for this.

    Racing will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    There is usually a big dinner Wednesday night in the pits for the drivers, crews and volunteers/ race officials.
    Satruday night there is an awards banquet for the first 2 days of racing.

    The DePue's Men's Club is the host of the race and the USTS is conducting club of the race. I expect both of these organizations will be up to their ears in alligators during the week. So, this effort really will need a couple of volunteers to coordinate things. We will be glad to lend advice or answer any questions.

    I hope many "old timers" return and catch the bug again.....

    Talking

    Wayne,

    Good eye. That is me standing next to Phil Howard, Bill Van, and Ray Hardy. Eileen was driving. I think she won High point that year in Formula 350.

    Again GREAT pics.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Default I knew I would find one of you

    Dan, We hung around too many of the same crowd for me to take this long to find a shot of you, but I'm sure there's more. Ever hear from Phil Howard? Jim Trimble said he was going to get him on BRF but that's been a while back. In fact Jim said he found a lot of photos that he was going to post as soon as he got a scanner. That's been a while back too.
