Saw a number of those shirts, and had a conversation with Walde while we were purchasing Jeep tires from Wallace Wade.

Lots of nice vehicles to look at, but was a little disappointed at the venders section. Many many empty tables....entire sections with nobody in them. Lots of the bigger dealers did not come to this one. Did get my paint from Rapco and tires from Wallace, but a lot of things I wanted from the big names just are not here. On the other hand, there are lots of the smaller one and two table vendors, who often have surprises at give-away prices.

Just back home from Convention in Portland OR (skipped the last night dinner due to other commitments).

Picked up a number of bits and bobs for the GP and caught up with several of the faithful. Also dropped by the Evergreen Museum at McMinnville (home of 'Spruce Goose) and the Tillamook Museum (housed in a HUGE blimp shed) ....

A 1941 jerrycan and nicely 1941 dated US Army muessette (sp?) bag to put in the GP, too.

Great trip, lots to see and do. Thanks to the Oregon Chapter for the organization. Well done! My visitor from Australia picked up the 'longest distance' award at the Camp White BBQ on Thursday evening, so a 'winning' visit!

Hey Mike, sorry I didn't run into you and your friend. Didn't get my tickets early enough for the BBQ.
I did meet up with Rob and Derk, Al Nicholson Dave Good and the Posse from Alberta, Brian Asbury. There were about 12 from Vancouver Island, Delisle, Ralph, Dave,Don And Katrinka roll off my poor memory for names. And About 18 of us from Western Command Mainlanders.
Awards dinner was Saturday night so I think we will hear from a few more today.
