[TPR] Asa's progress

[Bob Radefeld]

Well, don't feel like the Lone Ranger boys & girls. Bud, Mark & Frankie
were ALL still working the night before the race on getting their cars
ready. It's a real miracle that we were ready for the race Saturday. BTW
Asa, I'll send you Frankie's address so you can send him his hard earned
TPR coin that he should have been able to earn MANY years ago..........but
Nooooo, had to always attend with "mommy's Porcha"!! :o(( Frankie followed
me home & stayed the night here & I got him off this morning @ 7:00 for his
trip back to Nashville. Bud made it home also with no problems. Mark was
going to stop in Ohio last night & continue home this morning & I haven't
heard from him yet but he's probably on the road like Frankie right now.

Bev really enjoyed herself in Arnold & surrounding country this week & now
understands completely why we have such a great time every year with Gary &
Jo Crow. Gary Kept switching drinks (rum & Cokes) with her one night @
Jim's bar & she got higher than I've seen her for 20+ years! She kept
giving him shieeet about it but kept on downing a few & mellowing out as
she downed them......FUNNY stuff!! :o)) Needless to say, I don't think she
can wait to go back with me next year.....HaHaHaHa. Sadly she had to go
back to work today (& tomorrow) so won't have much time to post any of the
400+ pixs she took for a few days & I need to review what video we were
able to get so Russell can edit it & put it on a website (U-tube?) with a
link for all of our TPR brothers. Just be a little patient with us & we'll
get the stuff up ASAP..............

Rowdy (& STOKED) Bob
