[Shotimes] SHOcago meeting Saturday a success!

[Donald Mallinson]

I want to thank Mike Kopstain (AND pass along thanks to 
Mike's Parents and family for allowing the group to take 
over the family home/neighborhood for the afternoon, they 
were very gracious and it was nice to meet them) for the 
SHOcago get together Saturday in Arlington Heights.

I didn't get an exact count, but I bet at least 25-30 SHO's 
were in attendance and well over that in people, as there 
were several couples.

SHO folk from the teens to seniors (I am one of the latter!) 
got along just great and had a great time.

I really enjoyed hearing from several of the guys building, 
maintaining, enjoying some of the hottest SHO's around. 
Learned a lot.

THanks also to Ryan Pasche for his stewardship of the 
SHOcago club, at one time the biggest SHO local/regional 
group in the country, and quite probably the biggest again!

A great group of guys and gals and I hope to attend many 
more of their meetings.


Wish I could make more of the meetings around the country, 
but travel time is getting harder to find all the time.  But 
anyone with a SHO group having a get-together, please 
remember the best resource for SHO events is right on your 
own national SHO Club web site:
