I've been busy talking to vendors, getting door prizes and such. We've been getting boxes of stuff delivered for the goodie bags too, out spare room is filling up!

Does he snore?

Bill

He did mention he'd like a non snorer. I'd e mail him. Of course being the speaker your room is free bill!

I am in the snoring category myself!

i am registered, but for three days now the hotel computer systems have been down or slow, so they keep telling me to "call tomorrow"....

As an added measure of security this year for the Agrijeeps and vendors, we have hired the local police force to have someone there overnight both friday and saturday night.

This was made possible by generous donations from East Coast Willys Restorations (Hillbilly21), Midwest Willys (Harry Sheets) and others.

I'm happy to announce that Fred Coldwell will be giving a talk about the history of pre-production civilian jeeps at 11 am on Saturday. This will be int he Stow room right inside the hotel. It will be called "Agrijeeps, what's new new since 2002"

Also, Hillbilly21 wanted me to let you know he is bringing a load of NOS parts he'd like to get rid of and a very very nice one owner Bantam trailer. Paul is one of the many vendors bringing loads of parts for sale to help complete your projects!

If you were thinking of going to the reunion and staying at the Clarion you'd better hurry, they only have 5 rooms left and they are smoking rooms!
