[Shotimes] RE: gathering in St. Louis

[Ron Porter]

Thanks for the update.

Yourself, the Thomas's and the Ritters are part of the "old school" SHO
owners, as was John Weidenbenner. Most folks won't know any of these folks,
but for us "old farts" it's very sad to lose one of the old group,
especially at such a young age (relatively speaking).

Wanted to thank John and Jane Ritter from Minnesota and Paul and Rosetta 
Thomas from Oklahoma for the evening company after the visitation for 
John Weidenbenner in Ballwin MO.

We all mourn the loss of a good friend and stalwart SHO Enthusiast. 

John and Betty had made several Conventions and John always kept his 
black '93 SHO in immaculate condition, winning his class at the Tulsa 
Convention SHOw.

As SHO folk will do, the Ritter's, Thomas's and Mallinson's all talked 
cars and remembered John at dinner after the visitation.

We could not stay for the Monday Funeral, but the others did, and may 
have been joined by other SHO enthusiasts.

Don and Jan Mallinson
