[Shotimes] SHOtimers long gone

[Donald Mallinson]

Ron,

Yes I think the SHO Sable was up for sale.  Probably still 
with paint peeling!  I never rode in it, but he claimed it 
was real fast.

There are a lot of people that I miss from the earlier 
conventions.  Some of them I thought would be around 
forever, and I miss them, but people sell cars and lose 
interest in the club, it is a natural thing.  I hope all 
those people realize, that I and most of the other current 
SHO owners don't care what they are driving now, if they 
want to come, they will be welcome at any SHO event!
