The annual R Gruppe weekend seemed to flash by.

As great as the cars are, it's always the people that make the R Gruppe so enjoyable and it was great to see everyone. That particularly includes those who came long distances - for example both Rick and Jens all the way from Vermont (does that mean that the entire Vemont membership was in attendance?) and Thorsten Klein all the way from Germany.

The venue and the organiztion of this year's event were just teriffic.

I'm sure that others will join in, but special thanks to Cris, Freeman and Roger for their leadership roles and hard work in putting the event together.

And thanks to all those who worked hard on the registration and t shirt distribution and to Freeman for the neat event logo design.

And thanks also to John Risvold for organizing the Friday caravan from Southern California for those of us who couldn't go up on Thursday.

And, as always, special thanks to Sam for the ever-present "Sam Cam".
