OLD STUFF;
June 7th (a Saturday) is the painting party at the home of George and Joanne Luster. The trailer needs one more coat of paint (we have the paint). We will also check out the canopies stored in the trailer to see if they are good for another July car show or if we have to get new ones. Then party, pot luck for all!

A NOTE OF INTEREST;
Ed Osgood had some information on Cascade Auto& Truck Wrecking Inc. (18412 Bothell-Everett highway S.E., Bothell, phone #(425)338-1922). They lost their lease and are selling out. They have all kinds of parts for most vehicles (sounds like there might be a bargain or two in there).
