[VAC] Washington DC Unit Sponsored Cherry Blossom Rally

["Harvey Barlow" <harveybarlow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings fellow list members:

I have just returned home after attending the outstanding WDCU Cherry
Blossom Rally.  It was well organized and well done by officers and members
of the WDCU and in particular, by Clayton and Christi Rogers, who hosted the
rally on their beautiful family horse farm and did most of the hard work
required.  My thanks to each of you who made the rally possible.  Melissa
(my daughter), and Porsche (female German Shepherd), and I had a great time
and look forward to the next one.  For those of you who weren't able to
attend, I recommend it as a great rally to attend next year.  The Cherry
Blossoms were indeed beautiful.

Many of the active participants who have written on both of the A/S lists
were present and it was great to meet and talk with many who had previously
been only internet acquaintances as well as other attendees from all over
the eastern US and Canada.  It was a great group and a fine collection of
A/Ss.

I was saddened by the unexpected and tragic death of Bill Scott on his way
to attend the rally.  It was Bill who recruited me to join the WDCU and
helped motivate me to attend the rally.  I had been looking forward to
meeting and sharing stories with Bill and was stunned to learn of his death.
I regret that I was unable to meet him in person.  The Airstream family of
owners and enthusiasts lost a good friend and a source of considerable
knowledge regarding restoration of vintage Airstreams.   Bill Scott will be
missed.
