As we all prepare to ready ourselves for the Skyline Drive, the camaraderie, the cars, the food and drink - my thoughts turn to those who have made this possible.

None other than our resident keRm, Mr. Ken Collings and his dear wife Mary.

Ken has been instrumental from the outset with his willingness to volunteer his time and efforts whenever needed. Most of you are familiar with Ken from the message boards wherever F body language is spoken he's always been there to answer a question - from Zaino to tires, from graphics to camshafts, if he doesn't know, he knows someone who does.

There is another side to this human being. He is also deeply concerned with the natural wolf population and what man has done to these poor creatures and their natural habitat. This is a cause that is near and dear to his heart as many of you know. He volunteers his time and efforts to support a project at Full Moon Farms Inc. that takes in abandoned, injured and otherwise neglected wolves and wolf hybrids. It is strictly volunteer work and run on shoe string budget.

I would like to propose that in honor of Ken and Mary that this year's Skyline Drive be dedicated to Full Moon Farm. I would ask that each person participating in the event make
a voluntary contribution to the "cause" when we gather
in the parking lot to head up to the Big Meadow on Saturday
morning May 31. While Ken is collecting the entrance fee for the park I would like to visit each and every one who is there and ask for a contribution in their honor for Full Moon Farm. The amount doesn't matter. $1, $5, $10, $20 anything at all would be appreciated. As individuals it doesn't seem like much, but the power of our group is awesome. I know that
Ken would appreciate it, and in a way, when we head up to enjoy nature in the mountains, it would be nice to know that we have all contributed in preserving what God has given us.

Hope to see all of you there.

Great idea Brian, count me in on that and it is a great cause...Ken and Mary do alot of work setting this up and all the emails they must recieve just to put it on and its all for the love of the cars and the people involved...I had a great time last year and look forward to another one...I did manage in helping out the event by volenteering my time to doing t shirts for last year and getting them handed out and we are doing them again this year, Ken should be doing preorders soon, we sold out last yrs event shirt...Decals for the event are made also and items are sold just to cover costs,non profit.

Just a reminder what's coming.

I have received generous donations already
from Mark Hayman & Ed Maly.

I'll be "passing the hat" as we leave for the
drive. Please remember to bring a couple dollars
for the "cause" this year.

Thanks all.

Brian.

Hawkeye was wondering if you got the snail mail. Had it sent back for postage [Frown]

. Didn't think it would be double to go across that little river [Big Grin]
