Made it to the Rudy's at Round Rock but saw no Imperials so I just drove
around and parked for a while. Not knowing anyone I didn't stay after
11:30. Anybody that saw a small red pick-up with a lift in the back saw
me. I will try to get the Imperial running for the one next year. Seems I
really missed a good one.

Subject: IML: Texas meet good fun, to be repeated next year
Well, just a short note to say the Texas meet on Saturday went quite
well. Joe Strickland, Doug Norton, Mark Evans, Brooks Harkey and I met at
Round Roc, near Austin. Four nicer, better exemplifiers of what this
great site and mailing list is all about would be hard to find. They had
to put up with me but nothing in this life comes for free, does it. We
saw Mark's lovely 1963 at his house but, other than that, we were all
without Imperials. While that might seem odd it just shows the value of
these gatherings because when we discussed trying to have another Texas
meet, we all promised to ourselves that we'd try to get our cars running
and to bring them next year. Because three of the five hailed from the
Dallas area, it seems only right to hold the meet there next time. We
thought it might be a good idea to try to get together at the same time
as the Arlington swap meet, which is usually in September.
I'm hoping that those of us who have to come long distances might try to
stay at the same hotel near the swap meet. Then those closer could meet
us there for breakfast before heading out to the show, which we just know
will be full of hard to find yet inexpensive vital parts for our
Imperials, of course. And then a nice meal in the evening before heading
our separate ways.
Just some thoughts. I've had the good fortune to meet quite a few
members of the IML. Very, very few have felt so embittered that they
resigned their membership, which speaks well enough of their characters
that you might want to join us next year. I shall be, as usual, a
shrinking violet and sit at the back and not say much. You know the
type.
