Hi Larry,
Boy he got me in the picture too. Big mouth and all. I didn't know
puddles was a coupe either. But I believe he read my name badge, it has
the MGA Coupe on it as one of the cars. He told me it was a frog kind
of day, he was right. We got sooooo wet going home. It's not suppose
to rain in May, is it?
Thanks for the pictures Larry.
Rick
