Here's a photo of my family and I at Corsairs Over Connecticut, eight years ago today!

Image

This event brought a lot of great people into my life. Fantastic memories and some great friendships were an unexpected bi-product of that unique show. It even lead me to WIX seven months before the show! (and I'm still here!!!)
Thanks to everyone who gave their all for the event! The photo was taken by Roger Roger D Salls, who I met through the event and am still good friends with eight years later!
Just reminiscing....
Jerry

Congrats...it is amazing how time flies. I first signed on to WIX back in 2004, but was more of a lurker than a poster. WIX led me Jack Kosko's group in Fawn Grove, which has created unique friendships and experiences, and it's amazing how the simple act of getting involved has "snowballed" over the course of the last 12 months to make even more acquaintances and experiences.

Thanks Robbie! Unfortunately, my grandson Chris heard the PT-23 start up and looked away just at the wrong time!

That was a great show, I was there on Sunday and got some great video.

Is there anything planned for BDR in the near future as far as events go?
