Event Coverage 3rd Annual Poverty Flats Memorial Day Celebration

Thank you Dallas

 

Nice job, Paul... Hope all had as good a weekend as PF and his guests.

 

Really like your write up and the Memorial celebration , as it should be ! I have kin buried in your area and appreciate your honoring them ! Have my grandmothers cousin, Guess he would be my 3dr cousin, Buried in Gypson Hill Cemetery. Charles C Eberhardt 1871-1965.... US Amb***ador to Nicarauga 1925-1929, appointed by Calvin Coolidge and U.S. Amb***ador to Costa Rica 1930-1933 appointed by Herbert Hoover. . I am proud for A Salina Native son and relative of mine!

 

Wow, that is very cool! And thank you for the compliment. And by the way, how is my old car doing?

 

I've said it before that a nice lookin 63.

 

Glad to see the Peter Beater is still beatin' Peter....er I mean Larry.

 

Yep, I took it for a spin today and it runs as great as ever.

 

Travis will love you for that comment!

 

That.....right there.....that one quote......makes me happy. Built to drive. Thanks a ton.

 

Hey Paul I've noticed that your towns population doubles when you have a parade!

Did you give the Mayor a ride in your Wheel Stander???

 

I agree! Very nice!

 

The racer is going good. Have the rear "Z' section of the frame removed. Going to add about a foot to the frame. Also have a '73 mustang 302/C4 to go in it with a '71 Maverick 2:73, 8 in rearend. So, a long ways to go, but enjoying every minute of the build. Best of all, I have a Texas ***le for it now! Ya Hoo ! Thanks

 

What a wonderfull celebration. After looking at this picture its out to the kitchen I go.

 

Good job Paul. Too bad about the parade but I can see it my mind !!! Your a Good-Egg Pov >>>>.

 

Thanks, we even had some Hillsboro sausage so you should be proud. It was good too.

 

Thanx for the coverage, PV!! Fantastic Stuff, and God Bless Ya'!! My Dad is a native of Salina (circa 1932-?) and I've spent lots of time there. Dad still talks about Cozy Burger there and the never ending story of how they changed out the grill there at one point and everyone complained so much, they had to change the grill back...
My avatar is a shot of his 51 Chevy truck I put together for and him and he still drives around Grants P***, OR. Maybe I'll try to get him out for the KKOA gig in July and we can hook up and say, "Howdy"!

 

Most of Povertyflats threads make me hungry. Looks like a good time.

 

Povertyflats threads reminds me of the good folks in the the midwest and hungry. Sounds like a great way to spend Memorial Day. Maybe next year the video will work out. Thanks for sharing the fun.

We had the great Adrian Cronhour(sp) riding in a red convertible Mustang down Michigan Ave. at the Dearborn parade yesterday... Sure wish I would have went.. I did see him on the news last night though..

 

If it wasnt for ANZAC Day I would be moving in next door Paul!!
God I wish there were people like you over here!!

Doc.

 

Yes, I will get the paperwork started. Bring one of the Willys g***ers!

 

Thank you Paul. Slim

 

looks like another great time in Gypsum.

sure wish I could have joined you.

don't know if I could have handled the wind, but it sure would have been great to see all my good friends from Kansas.

thanks for posting your celebration of our freedom and remembrance of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for it.
