The traditional Meet ‘N Greet on
Thursday night was well attended,
considering that it was held in a meet-
ing room down the hall from the ball-
room. The cars being brought in were
an attraction that was difficult to over-
come. Most people split their time be-
tween the ballroom and the Meet ‘N
Greet room where the registrars were
holding court, accepting new informa-
tion and answering questions.
We requested that the hotel’s
maintenance department provide us
with a telescoping platform at 11 p.m.
on Thursday. Almost all of the cars
would be in the ballroom by then and
we wanted to gain some elevation in
order to get a good photo for the cover
of this issue. We saw it as a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity. Once the plat-
form was in place we herded everyone
in the room out of the picture. Mission
accomplished.
