George and Sherry have been my traveling companions to the two previous
Conclaves, in San Diego in '08 and last year in Kingston, Ontario.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make the trip with them this year to Galena. Not
only are they among those rare people who thoroughly enjoy the adventure of
long-distance traveling by car, especially by Healey, but they are also
wonderful people and personal friends away from the Healey world. I'm sorry
all of you can't know them the same way.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Didn't know they made travelers like the Haywoods
anymore
People often talk about how they don't make car like our Healeys any more,
but I'd like to say that there are very few travelers like George and Sherry
Haywood being made anymore either. Huge long distances between specific
engagements, and they still elect to drive a Healey rather than flying.
Rain,
storms, tornados, floods, and pauses to replace brake pads, and they're
still
giving us a rolling travelogue of the geography, architecture, and economy
(past and present) of the region they're traveling through.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the vicarious experience, but my respect for George
-- and his wife, who is putting up with all of this -- grows by leaps and
bounds with each day's posting. As they might say on Facebook, you folks
rock!
