Greetings to all
Dear Fans and Fellow Members,
Margaret and I wish to thank each and every one of you for your
many courteouses.
Armed with a few credit cards, a few models, a scrub board and
an ironing board, we traveled 7,000 miles and participated in
fourteen shows in 1970. I had mailed membership dues to fourteen
shows. Margaret really got in the steam mood when we stayed an
extra day at Col. Herndon's Show. He sat her down to a peck of
Florida lobster and Margaret is a one peck lobster eater. She was
ready to try the next thirteen shows.
We then criss-crossed several states, went back and forth from
show to show, then up and down from show to show, finally to eat
corn on the cob in Milton, Ontario, at what Sherwood Hume calls his
truck repair shop. Down South we would call Sherwood's truck
building a combination dance hall and night club; it was equipped
with an orchestra and served a peck of corn on cob to each person;
Margaret is a one peck corn on cob eater. Definitions in Milton,
Ontario, Canada, differ from definitions in Cheraw, S. C, USA.
