Father’s Day Picnic<br />
by Michele Mayo Davis and Ed Mayo<br />
Wow! This year's Father's Day Picnic was hot and humid. Thank<br />
Heavens our hosts, Dan and Linda Ruehs, were prepared. There<br />
was plenty of shaded tables and a nice swimming pool to cool<br />
off in.<br />
I usually take the kids to meet Dad and Jan at the picnic, but since this<br />
year's date was on Sunday Kevin got to tag along.We even thought we might<br />
take that sleek brown car out of the garage and for a spin. There was a vote<br />
and all 6 of us voted for the air conditioned Yukon XL. It worked out fine<br />
since Dad was also leaving Slime at home and bringing a customer’s car that<br />
he said he would help sell.<br />
When we arrived at the Ruehs' place Dad was doing his usual - talking<br />
Porsche. This gave us a few minutes to take the annual Father's Day picture.<br />
Dan & Linda's front porch made a beautiful backdrop.<br />
A few diehards drove their Porsches out for the annual concours. Ed<br />
Cullen drove out in his 911 race car, with a fresh trophy from the hot rod<br />
and custom show the previous night. Charlie and Teri Davis represented the<br />
914 contingent. Dan Ruehs got the short distance award by rolling his 356<br />
race car out of his garage and one person took it all way too seriously; John<br />
Strakle with his factory 930 slope nose. He was actually polishing stuff.<br />
Representing the water cooled crowd was a 928 of new members whose<br />
names I have forgotten and for which I apologize. Joel (Mr. Sprinkles)<br />
Nannis was directing the parking, which may explain why the 928 had the<br />
premo spot! The People's Choice competition was won by the orange 1971<br />
911 coupe of Mike and Michele DeJong (well, actually it's Michele's).<br />
Dan's shop kept drawing the men like flies to honey. He has a small<br />
collection of vintage cars including a Pontiac Firebird and Camaro race<br />
car. His shop is what most guys (like my Kevin) dream of having in their<br />
backyards.<br />
Thanks to Dan & Linda for opening up their home, pool, & shop for<br />
all of us to hang around on a hot Father's Day afternoon. Between the<br />
Ruehs' and the Casey's the Maverick Region is blessed for many more<br />
Father's Day Picnics.<br />
