We've often had this discussion, and I have to ask: How many members who 
come to Healey meets still have children in school and have to worry about 
summer vacations. I'm betting that there are few if any, given our advancing 
age and the way this hobby has developed.
To make responses simpler, would you post an answer to the list only if you 
DO have children and so cannot take a vacation during the fall to spring 
school year?
Frankly, I'd like to see Healey events scheduled in September or October 
after everyone is off the roads, and the weather is nicer for long Healey 
drives. Driving ANYWHERE in a Healey in July is torture and my wife simply won't 
do it.
