Maryann & Ot was there to greet Jason, who returned from his adventures in the Air Force. Thanks Jason, for your service. Along came Mike & darlene, a couple of our regulars, followed by Jerry & Kay, who rejoined our mists after a hiatus of a few years. It was great to see them again. We reminisced, told stories and got up to date. Bobbie hummel, along with Beni, came. Have not seen her is a couple of months. By the way, Beni or Benni or Bennie or what ever, is her cute little 4 legged, fuzz ball, love of her life................dog. Idon't want to say mutt, but I have no clue as to what kind of dog Beni in. Deb & Ben arrived, still in the mode of replacing his Fiero. Keep looking Ben. Anthony arrived, without his lady friends, Brandy & Sierra, his wife and daughter. We missed them. And Ted & Barbara came to our gathering. New to our group, we hope we did not frighten them to much, so they might join us at another gathering. They found a Red '84 Coupe, that was stored for about a dozen years and are bringing it back to the Fiero pride. We discussed some upcomming car shows, like the 25th show and the GAS coast to coast tour in 2010; getting the records from Elizabeth; and -----again-----the web site. After lunch, we examined the 5 Fieros that were present. Admired, discussed and examined them, got serious...by checking out the chrome sway bar, turbo chargeded, road clearence, measurments between tires and fenders, and tires themselves and other things. After about an hour of that, the gang broke up. Three cars, 6 pp, went to Motts Military Museum in Groveport, via the back, country roads.. The drive and time spent there was well worth the effort. The rest of the crew scattered into their own worlds. By the way, we have no idea of who, what, when or where the next gathering will be. Stay tuned.
