Hey Rita,

I still have pictures from your wedding reception with Billy dancing with a Tiger Tail attached to his Tux. Yes, it was my fault, I brought the tail! Lots of memories! Thanks for sharing how you guys got together, don't think I ever heard the story.

By the way, We have our airline tickets for the Dream Cruise this year, finally! We're planning on stopping and seeing you guys earlier in the week.

Take care... 66GTO Jim and Lory

Jim & Lory,

WOW! What a surprise! When I wrote this last night, I would have never envisioned someone who was at our wedding would be reading it. I didn't know you were the one who brought the tail. Thanks! That was funny watching Bill dance with it on! I also didn't realize that you never knew how we met, but then again, most of my family didn't know either until they read about it in the newspaper.

Looking forward to seeing you both this summer!

Great story, Rita. If Charley keeps busting your chops I'll post the story of how I met him

Actually, it is eerily similar - except Charley was driving an Isetta and asked if I had a tow strap. And, I didn't take him up on the invitation to his house to "look at car magazines." Hey, he was wearing velcro shoes, a bad sign if you ask me. I hear he later met Gags on the same stretch of road

Rita, I loved this story and the pics are great! There were cars involved in the story of how Earl and I met also- a 67 and a 69 Chevelle to be exact. Linda
