Well, we had our camp out at the Pinnacles in March, and if I do say so
myself it turned out to be a very nice camp out. 11 members, not bad for
cool weather camping attended it, we held our monthly meeting and had three
members ride in just for that.
We discussed the club shirts, and our expected trip up to Idaho
in June, it looks like we have everything in order as far as the Idaho trip
is concerned.
I checked with about 15 different shirt people, and was just about
to make a deal with one in Maryland, when one of our members, (Herb Alpers)
reminded me that his son does this type of work.
I checked with Herb junior and told him what we were looking for and
the price range we wanted to stay in, he gave me a very good deal (I Think)
so he is in the process of doing the art work, when he is done with that
and we approve it, he will start making the shirts.
I had expected to have the art work two weeks ago, but Herb got sick with what ever it is that everyone else is getting, and he was down for the count for over a week. He sent me the art work via e-mail two days ago, but it was so large on my screen I couldn't make it out good enough to say yes or no.
I asked Fritz Wells to check it out for us, since he only lives a few miles from Herb. If all goes well we should have our shirts in time for Idaho.
