Report on FABAC November Meeting

       Attendees of the November FABAC dinner/meeting were greeted by the long lost couple, Lise and Alex.  It's been a while and we were all happy to see them again. We almost sang Happy birthday in recognition of his recent birthday (89! Wow!) They were sternly admonished by all for their long absence, and they promised not to be strangers—weather permitting.
  • As a few folks dug into the buffet, Gary opened with a short recap of the Oktoberfest run.  It was well attended by both groups, and for once the weather cooperated. 
  • The upcoming Christmas party  (Dec 13th @ McGinnis Landing) will feature a yankee swap and a charity collection. 
  • John introduced his brother Keith, here visiting from the UK.  
  • There will be a rally from Buffalo N.Y. to Halifax next year.  It's a Hemmings sponsored event and will pass through here sometime in July.  As more information becomes available we hope to perhaps plan a concurrent event in conjunction with their overnight stop. 
  • John Dewitt proposed a run on the Cabot trail sometime in the spring.
       John's quiz proved much more difficult this month with many questions drawing a lot of quizzical faces.  Tim won the contest with John Dewitt coming in second.

Here's two links for the Hemmings Motor News Great Race that I spoke about at the dinner on Wednesday giving some more information about the event.
