VMD 2018 WRAPUP

[Bob Gilman]

ANOTHER VINTAGE DAYS IN THE BOOK -  GOT THERE ON THURSDAY TO SET-UP MY SPACES -  AND THE FIRST THING I SEE IS DALE FISHER SETTING UP THE PENTON SECTION AND CHEF DALE BUEHNER WORKING ON THE PENTON KITCHEN.
THESE TWO GUYS WORKED 24/7 FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.  THE LAST THING I SAW WHEN I WAS PACKING UP TO LEAVE ON SUNDAY WAS DALE FISHER TAKING DOWN THE PENTON DISPLAY AND CHEF DALE BUEHNER TEARING DOWN THE PENTON KITCHEN. THEY BOTH DESERVE A BIG THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE.  THEY HAVE HAD A WORKING WEEK-END WITH NO FUN.
ALTHOUGH I KNOW THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO.

THANKS TO LEE BUFFENMYER FOR HIS PENTON DISPLAY.  THERE WAS ALOT OF PENTON MOTORCYCLES ON DISPLAY ALSO.

JOHN CAME ON SATURDAY WITH JACK, SIGNED ALOT OF AUTOGRAPHS, TOLD MANY STORIES.  WHICH WE ALL LOVE TO HEAR.  WE HAD THE MEETING AND CELEBRATED JOHN'S 93RD BIRTHDAY WITH A BIG CAKE.. EVERYONE GOT A DOOR PRIZE ALONG WITH A GREAT MEAL .

THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT UNLIKE LAST YEAR..

I WANT TO THANK MY SON TONY AND HIS WIFE KIMI FOR TAKING CARE OF AN OLD BROKEN MAN.  THEY EVEN PULLED MY TRAILER FROM MARYLAND AND BACK FOR ME.  ALSO, THANKS TO THE "HAMMER"  JEFF BRUCE FOR HELPING MY TWO GRANDSONS TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM RACE,

I HOPE WE ARE ALL AROUND TO ENJOY VMD IN 2019.

Bob "Dirt" Gilman introduced me to Penton's and VMD over 10 years ago. On top of which, gave me the bike I race to this day.
I would have never met such a nice group like POG, without Bob.
You guys an gals are some of the best!

See you next time!
