CJWell, another Woodward Dream Cruise has come and gone. I want to thank all of those who attended another great POA event. Without you.......there would be no event!

I want to thank my husband Bob (RPL) for his assistance with setting up the concept visit, some follow up calls for me, running routes and directions and the parking at 13 and Woodward.

Thanks to DC and MSX for giving us the rare opportunity of viewing their concept cars up close!

Thanks to the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, Sandy Manning, Kenny Bott and Sandy Bokely for allowing us to shop and giving us a Viper Tour. They were very gracious in accommodating the 70 people who wanted to tour instead of the 40 we thought were going to tour!!!

Thanks to Kart2Kart for setting up the kart racing competition and crowning our first Woodward Dream Cruise Go Kart Champion...........

Thanks to Big Buck Brewery for a great dinner and great service and to the Aspen Restaurant for another fabulous dinner on our last night.

Thanks to Pam and Tom Gulyas for running around and collecting the awesome Dream Cruise maps that you had in your event folder.

I hope all of you had a great time and enjoyed the activities. We had some new owners who attended and for a couple of those, it was their first POA event. We were able to do some new things and I think everyone had a great time. I know I did!! We looked pretty awesome cruising together down Woodward Avenue!!

Looking forward to Woodward Dream Cruise 2006!!

TOM GULYASCJ-
NO KUDOS NECESSARY - IT WAS OUR PLEASURE, AND GLAD WE COULD HELP IN ANY SMALL WAY.
NOW, ON THE OTHER HAND, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK BOTH YOU AND BOB FOR A JOB WELL DONE. (JOB? MORE LIKE A LABOR OF LOVE) NOO-BODY COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER.
WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME, AND ENJOYED ALL THE EVENTS. MAYBE NEXT YEAR TOM CAN BUMP MEANCAT AROUND AT THE KART2KART EVENT. I'LL HAVE TO DO SOME FAST TALKIN' IN ORDER TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.
THANKS AGAIN,
PAM AND TOM
P.S. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEXT YEAR BRINGS)
ed monahanCJ, great job. Thanks to you and Bob and all the others you mentioned. We had a great time and it was nice to see a lot of the folks who have been around for several years but also to meet quite a few new folks.
For you all that were disappointed in the new Charger, you may be quite surprised when you see it in person, especially the very hot RED one. It is pretty spectacular. They were at 13 and Woodward and we happened to see about 8 or 10 of them driving down Woodward on Friday, on the way to the D-C display.
Big thanks to Mr. Trotta for getting us primo parking right at ground zero. For those that have never been there, you cannot believe what a big deal parking is, especially for a group.
Thanks again, CJ and Bob and everyone else involved.
Priceless perks from the POA. The people are the difference.
WildCatCJ,

For those that did not attend, you missed a fun weekend. CJ & Bob had the plans in packet and name badges for everyone. If they had been read everyone would have know what was going on and how to get where you are going even without knowing the area. I did this for a small trip in Indy and the time it takes to run a route to get street names, mileage and then prepare the info is very time consuming and CJ did this for all the major plans and alternate activities. Very professional looking.

Get some rest, you deserve it

Thanks CJ

SuperKatI'd like to thank CJ and Bob also. This was our first Dream Cruise and we really enjoyed it. Your hard work paid off. Annie and I had the pleasure of cruising with Larry and Sue Mayes in their new '67 dart convertible. Very cool indeed. Thanks so much. It was really great to see the POA folks in attendence; great friends and what a super weekend.
Gordon
Mike DowneyCJ & Bob.

This was our first POA event and I was totally impressed. Next year we will show up on Wednesday instead of Friday morning so we don't miss anything. Thank you both so much for the planning you did to put this together. What a great bunch of POA folks. You all made us feel like family. See you all next year for sure.

Mike and Cathy

keesCJ & Bob,

Also my first Dreamcruise event.
Although I joined the group Friday late afternoon I loved
every minute of it afterwards. The atmosphere is great and
as a European I had the opportunity to see America's finest
models from old to brand new. I certainly believe this is
a 'don't miss' event. The large group of Prowlers absolutely
had presence on the road, is a spectacular view and it
got raving reviews from the crowd standing on the side.
Feels a bit like Santa Claus waving at the children from his
sledge.
It was also great to experience how a Totally Stock Candy
Red looks like,

I think we can all be proud to have such dedicated people
like CJ and Bob doing this for all POA members. I'm still
amazed that they put all this effort in to make all of us feel
welcome and enjoy. Thanks, thanks thanks, I concur with all
the Kudos and thank you's above. A++++++ and will make sure
I put it in my planning for next year.

Thanks also to all people present and making me feel welcome
in your group I truly enjoyed your American hospitality.
Wildbill, thank you for driving me around in
your beautiful Silver, you were a great host and I'm looking
forward to see you next year.

(Between the burnouts, Wildbill took appr. 800 Pics and
shot 2 video tapes so I do expect to see some great shots in the near future).

Warm regards,

Kees

RED5Thanks to all that helped putting this great event together for us.

I will be attending from now on.

Jesse

quincyCJ and Bob,
It is us who thank you and your husband for hosting this event. The planning and execution was superb! Without your two efforts and self sacrifice, this would not have been a successful event. THANK YOU!!!
Now, if there is only some way you two can convince Mother Nature to cooperate a little better.
Dale BeamanGREAT TIME! Thanks for all of your's and Bob's efforts. Will be attending again next year!

Dale

PROWLERWIDOWCJ and Bob,

WHOW, what a great event.

Thank you, Tammy and Gary

RPLThanks for all of the kind comments. We just wanted to make sure that everyone that attended had a good time.

I know that you've heard me say it, but CJ does virtually all of the work. I'm there to help with the things she can't at the event.

Not only was she dead tired from getting ready in the compressed time since the Dells, she was very sick. To make matters worse, someone broke into our son's house again late last night. CJ is driving the twelve hours down to Fayetteville to handle matters with the incompetent local police. This is the second break in, in less than twelve months with the same MO yet they won't even dust for prints until she arrives with a POA. I'm having mediation called in for when she arrives.

CJ will be out of touch all week so if anyone has any questions or needs her usual help, PM or email me at boblongstreth@comcast.net

Kevin ACJ and Bob,

Thanks for all of the hard work. My son, Daniel, and I LOVED everything. I hope you will continue to do this. I know the amount of effort is HUGE and the grief is sometimes HUGE as well.

Very well done!

Thanks,
Kevin and Daniel

Stray CatAs with everyone else, Michael and I had a spectacular time..... thanks so much CJ. It was wonderful seeing everyone and being back with some Prowlin friends. I am still in shock. We even got some recognition from our Viper friends: Chose "RT/10 GTS discussions" and scroll down to "Another Woodward Pictorial". Then scroll down and you'll see a bunch of Prowlers......

See you soon - glad everyone made it home safely.

Sincerely,

indy96CJ and Bob:
Thanks for all the hard work and planning. Doug and I had a great time (Doug being a non-"car guy" is now a convert).
Sorry to hear about Brian's house (again). I hope they catch the S.O.B. and .....well, this is a family forum. I hope CJ can get back and spend some time at the cabin with the grand kids as she had planned and decompress. Everyone who was there appreciated her hard work in setting up and planning the event ()and I thought last year was super). And don't sell yourself short, you are a big part of the event also. Now, think Maryland Lighthouse Cruise....you are getting sleepy...Maryland.....
BeWareWe just got home this afternoon. We had a blast and would like to add our appreciation to CJ and Bob for arranging everything. This was one well organized event. I was not sure I was going to survive the Kart racing . Sorry to here that your sons house was broken into again.

Thanks for everything. Kyle and I also had a blast. It was great meeting up with some old prowler friends and making some new ones. I do hope we can continue this and the prowler participation grows.

Well done! Thanks for the excellent driving instructions.

Kees, I hope you enjoyed the run back to Chicago with Jesse and I, and also Rick until we decided we did not want to match his speed.

Thanks,
Brian and Kyle

CJWell, just returned Saturday night from an emergency trip to NC and my son's house..........

Just read all the comments about Dream Cruise and I am very pleased that everyone had such a great time......mission accomplished!

Pam..........you WILL be driving a Go-Kart next year!
Ed........So glad that you and Sandy were able to make it!
WildCat....Thanks.......now maybe everyone will stop making fun of my event folders!
Gordon & Annie.......Come back next year and bring your cat this time!
Mike & Cathy......I am so glad you enjoyed your first POA event. Make sure you come back next year for all the events....we've always got something cool to do! Make sure you start attending some of the other events......you'll get hooked.
Kees.....It was so great to finally meet you and we'd love to have you back again next year. Come earlier though, so you can do everything! Dream Cruise is just not something you explain.....you have to experience it. I'm glad WildBill didn't scare the heck out of you.
Jesse.......glad you enjoyed.........bring Pam next time.
quincy.......Thanks.........and I'll work on the Mother Nature thing for next year........
Dale.......look forward to seeing you and Phyllis back next year.
Tammy & Gary.........glad you enjoyed the event....
RPL.........couldn't have done it without you....Mediation? Are you sure you didn't mean medication???
Kevin.........glad you and Daniel had a great time. I will continue to do this as long as owners continue to attend. I do it for all of you.....
Sharon.....you're right.........Woodward is overwhelming, but what a blast, huh? Hope you make it back and bring your brother with you next time.....
John........it was great to see you again........been a while! Come on back again.
Pete.....Glad you had a good time.........and I think Doug is more of a car guy now then when he arrived for the event. I enjoyed talking with both of you.
Rich & Linda.......it was so great seeing you both again. Glad you got back okay and hope Linda is better. You survived the Kart racing.........so come back for more next year!
Brian & Kyle........it was so great that you could attend and I hope you both come back again.
Al & Karen...........you looked like you were having a great time!
Rick & Nick.........It was a blast, wasn't it. Make sure you come back next year.
Robert & Annette........great to see you both again...now come to the Pumpkin Run!
Jim & Jane........Hope your cat survived its visit here!! It was great seeing you both again and hope that you both come back next year.

Planning and hosting events like these is hard work (as those of you who have done it know). However, it is always worth it when you see everyone having such a good time. I hope that all of you come back next year and that more will attend. Joe would love to see 100 Prowlers next year!! Can you see that traveling down Woodward!!

Thanks again to all who participated......I had fun too!
