Gregory, thanks for the message; I had a lot of fun in Colorado Springs and knew that I wanted to go to CF08 in Cleveland to renew acquaintances and meet other CACers I have not met in person. Prior to CF07, I would post some info and comments, but it was like I was talking to strangers (no one on the CAC ever made me feel that way though-they were all quite friendly and I try to respond the same way). After CF07 and meeting some of the CACers, I knew that this was a great organization. I have written some PMs to various CACers, including you, because I know them now and they know me. I am not sure if I would have attended CF07 had it been far away. I feel that I was very lucky that the CF was in CS.
I hope that you plan to attend the Cleveland event and that we can get together again. I read your posts and know that you speak from experience, so the info is good. You only get this from meeting people and making friends. I believe you were the first person I actually talked to in the parking lot when I arrived, other than getting directions from Jeff on where to register. I instantly recognized your LT4, and hope to see it again in Cleveland; it is a beautiful, distinctive corvette and you maintain it well. I plan to drive the 02 coupe to CF08. Colorado Geezer (he won the vararam cold induction system at Corvette Center) is trying to set up a caravan. That will be a lot of fun; reminds me of the "old days [late 60s]" in KC Mo when I was with the Corvette Club and we would do cruises. Although I am not a member of a local corvette club, I am a life member at large of the the National Council of Corvette Clubs. I joined in 1962 when Chevy sponsored the first Corvette national convention in St. Louis.
Thanks for thinking of me and let's keep in touch.
Barrett
