Hey all … Carolyn wanted me to send this all to you - and if you could please send it to whoever needs to know.
Thanks !
I hoping to get as many of the jeeps that Terry worked on to his memorial on Sunday, 11/14. It's going to be at the Pacific Coast Air museum from 2-5pm. We will have the commemorations first and then a BBQ similar to the ones that Terry and Mike used to have after that. We want to have the jeeps parked on display among the planes between the hanger where the food will be and where the memorial will be. I am asking for pictures of Terry that anyone has to be emailed to me. Do you want to post an announcement on Facebook for me? I will need the guys to RSVP and let me know if they will bring their jeeps. You can put Terry's email address in the post:
gpajeep@yahoo.com
Thanks
