The list on the full details page is very accurate with a few straglers and 1 or 2 changes, I left the original and final list in hotel room...sorry

Anyway, I just want everyone to know that this event was a great pleasure to run for all, and I and Kim had a blast, Everyone even got to meet The "Queen of Sheba"..lol

remember know matter how much planning and organizing that is done buy the host it still take help from fellow members to pull it off, I would like to take this oppourtunity to thank the Mills family, the Ushers, the Genet's and everyone else who helped with traffic control, I would like to Thank my wife Kim and the Yaegers (The Queen and her husband) for the regetrstion and set up help once the event got under way...remember a well planned event still requires support, and as can be counted on POA members were there, I look foward to the next time and glad a good time was had by all

we are the greatest car club of them all...IMHO

Thanks to MeanGene for picking me up at BWI and putting me up for the night on Thursday - nice 72 GTO by the way.

Gary & Kelly Archer - I appreciate you driving our of your way to met up with Rebecca since she was driviong solo - or did you do it to earn the farthest driving award.

Ed - I am now looking for a hardtop Congrats on first place.

Mike & Kim - WOW - what fun. Rebecca is still talking riding in the engine cab during the train ride. Hope you two go to enjoy things as much as we did.

Bob Silsby - did Jason and you ever match up and run your supercharged silver against his nitrous after we left?

This is already too long so I'm out of here.

As you can see from Marty's post, we are home safe and sound. The first thing I wanted to do was to tell you both how much we enjoyed Prowlancaster. "Y'all" did a fantastic job organizing the event and added some extra "special" touches to make everything memorable. I had never traveled that part of our great country and found it to be so charming. Loved the covered bridges, what a piece of Americana! Quite interesting IMO to see horse and buggies cruising beside our Kats

But of course, most memorable for me was to be the LUCKY one to win the raffle Grand Prize of being the only one to "cruise" INSIDE the steam locomotive engine cab on our train ride. What a wonderful memory, I will never forget it("fireman" aside)LOL!

Of course equally important was seeing old friends and making new ones (Wild Bill, you are a delight!). I loved being able to spend some time with some of the folks who I met at Louisville, but didn't have a chance to talk to as much as I wanted (Lucy/Bill "Niteman"); (Bob/Carol "Rebel Bob").

Jason, it was great seeing you again, glad to know your Kat is still looking good and running fast!

Gary and Kelly Archer, as Marty said thanks for going out of your way to meet up with me to have a mini "Katavan", love you guys. Phil Genet, as usual it's great to have you share my ride too and also the Buerhle's! John and Shelley, you have a beautiful family!

Damon (Virginia Cat Dude) and Roger (VCD, Sr), as always a pleasure. Thanks so much for the loan of the camera, I was so disappointed to realize I had forgotten ours! Better watch out VCD, you're apt to become the official POA photographer, sharing the duties with Wildbill!! VCD, Sr., you are a real Southern Gentleman!

Dave and Brenda Mills (Senior Kat owners, not in age of course), so good to see you again, thanks for bringing up the rear...Brenda you're great communicator/navigator.

And of course, Ed and Sandy.....the backbone of POA!

It's been said before, but I'll say it again, the best part of owning a KAT is sharing our enthusiasm with other owners and enjoying the fun and camaraderie! It was great to see some new faces there at their first event! I might point out too, that the organizers of this event, Mike and Kim (Kim Kat)Venezia, attended their first event in Louisville only three short months ago! WOW! Also, Mike and Kim, be sure to thank your friends (the Yaegers) for helping out (get them to buy a Prowler!)

Thanks for the memories,

Rebecca

Couldn't put into words just how much fun it was and, just how much well it was organized. We had such a blast. Weather, food, trains, cars and of course, great company in all of our fellow Prowler owners.

Thanks to everyone for making my family feel so at home. The kids all enjoyed the rides in the Prowlers and everyone's kindness..... Loved cruising to Lancaster with Rebecca, the Archers and Phil Gennet. Phil and I cruised home and it was a nice ride - Phil hung with us even though the kids had to stop a bit more often than he would have

The Train ride was the children's favorite part - I loved the museum as well. It was tremendously interesting Mike. The countryside and the Bridge tour were spectacular.

You really did it up right. Can't wait until the next one......

John,

PS. My kids are wondering why we call him MeanGene...... said he's not mean at all....

We had a Blast!!, don't how it could have been better ! It was a lot of first's for Kelly, Train ride, Amish...Had smiles all the way home just thinking about the weekend.
Thanks to Mean Gene for getting us started on the way home, even though you almost missed the first exit 5 minutes from our starting point! Thanks to the Ushers for the loan of the luggage carrier(where's my trailer??)
This was our second event, it was like seeing long time old friends, can't even begin to say how much of a pleasure it is to be a part of such a wonderful group of folks!

Wild Bill, better watch out for Kelly & Rebecca, they gonna set you up!
Jason, you look like the youngest Prowler owner, do you have a drivers license??
Bob & Carol, great seeing you guys again.That prowler sure is fast for just having gears!
Bill & Lucy, glad we had a chance to talk this time.
John, kids had to stop more ???? we know better don't we!
The list goes' on.........
Well, my 2 fingers are getting sore, so see y'all soon!

Gary
P.S. Remember what those teenage boys said about the Gold Sunday morning!!!

Thanks for a wonderful time and for providing a great experience for my family. My sons, Jake and Josh really loved the trains, museum and the sight of all the Kats.

Hope to see you in VA on the beautiful Skyline Cruise...

Take Care

Darcy & Family
