Thanks for the information. The last time it was in Springfield I held off going until noon Sunday and everyone had left to go home. I will make sure I get there on the first day this time.

Plan on being there at least at Noon-1pm on Saturday for the largest participation. We always have a few straglers here and there. The picture banner for the 2008 Spring Reunion was taken about that time.

I know this is for the Spring Reunion, can someone tell me when the Fall Reunion will be... the website has not been updated and I want to schedule my vacation to make it again this year...

I would like to go to the Spring Reunion, but gas prices make it a little tougher...

Thanks

Hal,

I run the Web site for the Reunions.

I generally do not post the following event info until after the next even because, frankly they don't give me the info or the art work. Bad excuse, but they are run by two entirely different crews of people.

The Fall Reunion will most likely be at Jeff City again as it always is.

Have not received dates yet but you can contact Doc Kayser: jskayser@aol.com for info

Art,

I understand...

Just that now that my company is National, I have to submit vacation time in advance or I may not get it. I have made the last 4 Fall reunions and have had a ball...

Now I have another Willys to bring instead of the M-38CDN (I have the Blue one that was there the last couple of years)... I am doing a frame off restoration of a '51 Willys Wagon a 673 model with L161 engine...

It is starting to go back together this week frame is done and now I can start assembly as I get parts sanblasted and painted... can't wait for spring so I can paint faster... this cold is making it hard to paint parts - 24hrs set time...

Another story...

Later...

Hal,

I just heard from Doc Kayser and have updated the Fall link to at least show date and place.

So now you can at least make your plans.
