What Tom didn't say is that he and Kim drove their newly restored car from
New Jersey to Conclave, participated in the track event at Shannonville and
next day put it up to stand for Concours judging in which it went either
silver or gold. Congratulations.
I got to drive the car, then sit passenger at Shannonville on Monday as Tom
turned progressively better laps--meanwhile Kim wangled a ride in Michael
Salter's car during the noon hour wearing open-toed shoes no less! Tom
and Kim are super-enthusiastic folks and were always wearing big grins
whenever I saw them. It is great to put nice faces against names that we see
on
this list.
Best--Michael Oritt

Well, we're back from the Conclave. 1200 miles of non-stop Healey fun. My
favorite event was the Gymkhana, but the Southern Ontario group did a top
notch job all the way around. Every event was carefully planned and well
orchestrated. And the cars- wow- the cars were incredible. I didn't see a car
all week that I didn't like. They were all beautiful, and there was one in
every flavor. Kim and I never stopped moving the entire time. This was our
first Conclave, and everyone that we met was super friendly. We felt
welcome by one and all. We have to start making plans for next year.
I spent the whole week looking for familiar names from this list in the
crowds in Kingston. It was a rush each time I was able to place a face to a
familiar name. I hope that I get to meet more of you in the future. If you
haven't ever attended a Conclave, you really ought to make every attempt to
get there. The cars, the people, the cars, the sights, the people- it's
like Disney for car nuts.
I will post the photos that we have on Picassaweb in the next week or so.
Regards, Tom
