TooHipCat POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Londonderry,NH Registered: Mar 2004 Admin Use	posted 03-20-2006 01:14 PM ...man...was I wrong!!! I had to attend a firefighting refresher school last week at the Texas A & M university campus at College Station, TX. It was AWESOME!!! I had been in touch with Mike and Judy for a while and asked them if they were free, I would love to have coffee or even dinner with them, so that I could personally thank them for all that they have done. I didn't know just how much time I would have with school and all. Judy was kind enough to give me a call on my cell Monday night when I arrived at College Station. After everything was said and done we all agreed that Wednesday night would be the best! After finally meeting Mike and Judy I proceeded to ask Mike if he would like me to park the beautiful rental car that I was driving in the bushes out back. It just didn't fit in with the truly beautiful home of the Krehel's. I was then lead down the walkway to the "Krehel Museum". OMG...it was like a dream come true!!! The Krehel Museum So much to see and so little time!!! I'm sure they were ready to get rid of me after about 10 minutes. It was so cool to see such a beautiful collection of Prowlers in an extremely well engineered climate controlled environment. I was very cautious walking around all the gorgeous cats but that's when I realized...I was under the watchful eye of the "Chief Curator". The legend himself...Alley Cat!!! Mike even asked if I would like to sign his guestbook. I started to walk towards his desk when he pointed towards the back wall. I mean how cool is that. His guestbook is a Gold Prowler hood! I then had the opportunity to go out to dinner with Mike, Judy and Mike's lovely Mom. What a great time. Great food and great company makes for a truly perfect evening. When we got back to the Krehel's everyone was a little tired. Probably from having to listen to me for that long of a time. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone! We went back into the museum for one final time. I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. I know a good portion of you have had the opportunity to meet the Krehel's and have them show you around their beautiful home and museum but this was the first time for me and I am still in shock. Such wonderful people that have literally dedicated their lives to the Prowler. Just in case I didn't say it enough during that wonderful night, Mike and Judy... Thank's for everything!!! We all know that the POA wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you guys. This website is truly an invaluable tool for every Prowler owner. If anyone doesn't agree...don't visit the POA for at least a week or two and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for listening everyone and I hope you all have a great night!!! Oh...Bradley...sorry I couldn't make it up to see you in Dallas. I'm glad you're feeling better! Brian

ALLEY CAT POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:mesa, az, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 03-20-2006 08:23 PM Brian - Yes,,,,you were under my watchful eye while touring the Prowler Museum. As Chief Curator, I allow no fingerprints on the cars,,,,, or dirty shoes within the sterile atmosphere of the palatial Prowler Museum. Also Brian,,,I want to thank you for dropping that crisp, new twenty dollar bill into the jar in my curator's office,,,,the one marked Alley Cat's Old Age Retirement Fund Donations. Actually,,I expected more, but the twenty is still appreciated, lol. Glad you enjoyed the tour and dinner with Mike and Judy I hope you left the "doggie bag" from the restaurant for my chief lot boy, Mike Gatlin?

It was great to meet you as well We had a great time visiting with you, Mom says hi! The hood picture you posted is really an early one! Look how many more visitors / signatures are on there now! Then: Now: This is Brian TooHipCat signing the POA Guest Book! And AC, Who was watching who? Brian be sure to tell AC how dusty the cars were! AC, I think the girls took your tip and spent it on dog treats
Dale Beaman POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Aug 2002 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 04:37 AM TooHip - Your are right an awesome place to visit and the Krehel's are great hosts!
ALLEY CAT POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:mesa, az, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 06:15 AM Brian - Yikes! I'm glad both of your hands are showing in that picture of us, lol. Judy - The cars are dusty? My 'lot boy' Mike Gatlin must be slacking on the job again When his name comes up for his annual job performance review,,,,,I'll be sure to berate him for allowing dust to be exposed within the museum, and no pay raise for him!!! The girls confiscated my tip jar money for dog treats? That's the final straw,,,,,,I'm installing a locking lid on my Retirement Fund jar. Its the end of the world I tell ya,,,,,the end of the world
MIKE GATLIN POA Lifetime Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Flushing, MI Registered: Aug 2000 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 06:50 AM Sorry Larry, I am too busy with the doggie bag. At least half of the wings he left had a lot of good eatin' on them. Brian actually left $50 for you but I wasn't sure you had ever seen one before so I tried to make change and all I had was a $20.
ALLEY CAT POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:mesa, az, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 06:59 AM Gatlin,,,,still no pay raise for you this year! Judy is going to deduct $30 out of your pay check, and put it back into my jar. Thanks for being so honest, lol PS - I hope you didn't leave those chicken bones laying around,,,,,,,the dogs could choke of them and really create problems for us
TooHipCat POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Londonderry,NH Registered: Mar 2004 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 07:45 AM Judy, OMG...I thought you were going to delete the photos of my visit!!! Thanks to you I have a few pics of the guestbook in my camera but as you know...my picture taking equipment is very low tek at the time. Please give our love to Mom! I'm so glad your youngest girl is feeling better. A/C, Judy only posted the nice pics of me and the Curator. Thank God this is a "G" rated site. To my fellow POA members, I posted the details of my trip because I'm still excited about it as you can see, but I also wanted to thank the Krehel's for everything that they do behind the scenes to keep the POA up and running. I don't know about anyone else...but if it wasn't for the POA and all of its wonderful members...the Prowler would be just another car for me. Have a great day everyone!!! Brian

MIKE GATLIN POA Lifetime Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Flushing, MI Registered: Aug 2000 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 08:06 AM Larry, I tossed the chicken bones out into the fish pond. They confuse the piranha into thinking they already ate. Brian, Mike and Judy are great hosts. When I was there they set up a huge barbecue, threw up some huge tents and opened up the museum just for me. Just so happens it was the same week of the Texas Prowler Stampede and all those people came and spoiled the fun.

TLRandall POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:CALDWELL, TX, US Registered: Jul 2002 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 08:42 AM Too bad I didn't know you were here in town then, we could have met up for lunch or dinner. College Station is a pretty amazing place with the Fire School, Texas A&M University, The George Bush Presidential Library and all. Heck I would have picked you up in one of the new Sheriff's Chargers!
392HEMI POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:The Villages, Fl. Registered: Dec 2004 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 11:50 AM Say, how about some of you good Texan's planning a cruise in that could take in the museum as a side trip so we can convince the wives to let us go? It would be an honor to have a chance to Prowl your fine state. I just can't get any mushier!
phil2237 POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:PLACENTIA CALIFORNIA Registered: Feb 2005 Admin Use	posted 03-21-2006 11:52 AM Are there any members out there that can take the above 360 panaramic photo of Mike & Judys garage,Print a 3 to 4 foot long panaramic picture suitable for framing ??? This photo would be the final touch on my office wall,

TL, That would have been cool! You could have pretended that you were arresting me. That would have given the guy I was traveling with something to really talk about when we got back home. Rich, If you were a little closer and I had just a little more time...I definitely would have liked to get together. Hopefully there will be a next time. Everyone was so nice to us down in Texas.
