I wouldn't miss it...plus I hope Kid_dynomite drops in with more of his old police photos, too! This may be another record-breaker...and we should start this one right after worktime, for the early birds. Ray is on what, Pacific time? He'll be hanging with us until last call...no problem! heh |

Just got into town today. Out at New Hudson just right now. But I will be there tomorrow night; count on it. Good flight. Got my luggage and rental car and on the road within 50 minutes of touchdown. Can't beat that. |

It was fun, sorry, we couldn't get that chalkboard for you, I even offered to buy them a new one, no dice. Let us know anytime you're back in Detroit, we'll be happy to hang with you again. And write your memoirs. You offer a personal perspective of this City that is appreciated by many. Hope to see you again, many times. |

Thanks, fish, I don't feel 1936 either. Gotta thank mom and pop for good genes, I guess. |

I apologize for not posting this sooner. Mrs Res and I had an awesome time, and I can consider myself doubly honored as I met not only our guest, Ray1936, but the toastmaster himself, Lowell! I had an extremely good time and am also thought it was cool to have met Fishtoes, 56packman, Neilr and Fury13. Of course, as always, it was a pleasure to see Kathleen and Dave, Jams, Gannon, Mikie and all the rest of the cast. Look forward to seeing everyone again soon! Ray, keep those stories coming! You are a priceless insight to the history of Detroit! |

Thanks, Plymouth. Just got back home in Las Vegas after a slightly screwed up flight. I'll post a trip report with some photos tomorrow on the 'discuss detroit' board. Hope I don't stray too much. |
