I'll spare all the praise and accolades for the Best Damned Gathering of Automobiles in this Wonderful Nation and, for now, focus on a personal THANK YOU.

To the owners who bring their vehicles from near and far; Thank You.
To the Sponsors who support this Event; Thank You.
To the photographers and journalists who cover the event year-round; Thank You.
To all the people I've met, and continue to meet because of this event; Thank You.
To the volunteers and staff of the event who work so diligently, with little or no thanks from many of us, let me try to rectify the situation. You do a great job; Thank You.

And each year I try to find the Principals of the Event and offer my sincere gratitude for their continued perseverance in this venture. This year I had to leave early Sunday and I know I missed most of you. Charley, Mike, Colin, Bob; I know each of you and I want to say publically how much I, WE, appreciate all you do. I know you do it for the love of the hobby and the people; NOT for the money. Please pass along my Thanks to all the others who make this possible. Your vision to initiate a new, unique type of show was maybe a little risky, but DAMN: you guys NAILED IT. MCACN is now THE STANDARD for all to imitate. CONGRATULATIONS Gentlemen, and to the Ladies who support you.

And finally, ....... Thank You for allowing me to be a part of it.
