Thirty Seven members and friends and 18 cars represented Typ
356 Northeast at this year's holiday. Multiple routes were selected by those
driving - all involved trying to sneak south of Hurricane Jeanne as it
hooked into New England. Evading the Hurricane and a partly cloud forecast
didn't mean we wouldn't be wet on later days driving and at the concours.
638 people were registered and about 300 cars made quite a scene; at the
headquarters hotel's parking lot, on self-guided drives to plantations and
at the Concours in historic Yorktown.
In spite on national 356 celebrities and some colossal cars - getting there
was half the fun and it was the camaraderie of T356ne members made this
event truly special. Getting home in delightful fall weather was another
half of the fun. All told we had about 150% fun.
Special thanks go to:
Peter Crawford for coordinating the travel plans and keeping us in touch.
Bob DiCorpo leader of big-rain-one-day-blast group.
Bill Collins leader of the if a
little-hurricane-is-good-two-days-is-better-group.
Erling Falck coordinator of the
put-it-in-a-truck-and-drive-a-car-with-21st-century-wipers-gang.
Edgar Broadhead and George Nelson for some critical field service (and piece
of mind).
And Alex Finigan for sheltering the transporter vehicles and for making us all
within two degrees of separation of Jerry Seinfeld.
Not to mention Joel Horvitz who in addition to sharing his fabulous Spyder
with the assembled crowd gave the Registry an important boost years ago so
there could be a 30th Anniversary East Coast Holiday for us to attend.
While the rain made itself evident it wasn't a downer... just part of life
with an old car.
Hope to see you all at our upcoming events. - Ron Swenson, Typ356 President
