I'm still around.  Same old Euro 308.  Oh, I did get married in 2003.

Hello Friends,
     I was just wondering how many of the OLD Ferrari List people are still
here, or perhaps have rejoined.  I signed up in 1996 and we were a tiny list
then.  My first e-friend there was Peter Henrys in Melbourne Australia.
Peter introduced me to Formula 1.  We keep in touch to this day, if far too
infrequently.  We also visit, at least for a dinner out, every time I go to
Melbourne to work the Grand Prix.  Steve Cook is of course member #1 being
the List owner.  I didn't meet Steve face-to-face until the summer of 2004.
Great guy with a great family.  
     I think the next List member I met face-to-face was Ric Rainbolt.  Ric
and Wendy are also still close friends.  We've also owned the same car a few
times. :-P
     We had a track event (driver's school) at Hallett, Oklahoma about 7 or
8 years ago.  Lots of new faces to meet then.  Matt Boyd, whom I bought
Dave's Mondial from, came westward to Hallet as did many others.  Off the
top of my head I remember Ian and Claudia, Robert Rehkopf, Charles Perry and
Ric Rainbolt.  Who was that guy from the Los Alamos Lab?  Can't remember his
name.  Did Patrick Norris attend that first event?  Who have I forgotten?
     Somewhere around the turn of the century a lot of us met in Modena then
went on to tour the factory.  That's where we first met many more friends
face-to-face - especially the European friends.  Included were Rui Gigante,
Antony Shine, Francis Newman and numerous others.  I believe we numbered 24
when we passed through the hallowed gates onto the factory floor.  From
there we traveled with Charles and Buck Perry. We met up with Rui and Ana up
in the lakes area north of Milan the next day. Most of our time was spent
ogling over the F40 in the parking lot.  Two weeks later and dead broke, we
returned to the States.
     We did another track event a year or two later.  Patrick Norris
organized that event. Rui and Ana Gigante were over visiting us from
Portugal.  I can't remember who attended that event.  Did we do three of
these?  I remember having a rallye on the Sunday after one event.
    We met Robert Rehkopf for a rally in Arkansas a year or two after that.
My son Allen navigated for him, as I recall.  Allen is now a nuclear
physicist in New Mexico, busy attending the college where Steve Cook
graduated.
    Why have I written all this crap?  Well, Nancy and I are traveling to
Portugal this weekend to spend another week with Rui and Ana.  Our goal is
to spoil their two-year-old daughter rotten, then come home.  :-)  The whole
thing has me in old-man mode reminiscing over days passed.
   
  With best regards,
   
  rick
