EA<strong>ST</strong>ER SHOW - SUNDAY, APRIL 8 th<br />
Once again, Frank Garamella not only took care of registration and the logistics of getting admission cards<br />
to all attending members, but arranged to have the most beautiful weather we may have had, ever. Well,<br />
maybe his powers don’t exactly extend to arranging weather, but who knows? Great job, Frank. Thanks.<br />
We had a great number of member cars attending with 14. The show in general, had very high attendance<br />
of both participants and spectators. Our participants, in no particular order: Tom Scamen brought his<br />
gorgeous 1955 Porshe Spyder SpyderWerks from Stanton Missouri. Sam McGrath was a big hit with his very<br />
silver 1929 Alfa Romeo. Sam Ribaudo in his red Prowler and Frank Garamella in his tan CMC Gazelle 1929<br />
Mercedes were some of the first on the scene. Mike and Mary Woodard drove their super high performance,<br />
medium blue, B&B Cobra roadster. Mike Gaan arrived in his flawless red ERA GT40. Cliff Flath piloted his<br />
beautiful blue Brunton Stalker V6 Lotus 7 derivative. Andre Garamella was there with his tan Fiberfab 1952<br />
MG-TD. David Durham showed his green Aurora 289 Cobra. Joe Messler came in his authentic looking blue<br />
