I really have to add to the Forest and Goergene stories. For several years it seemed that Carol and I, Ken and Nancy Ridley, and Jim Wallace had our own rooms in the Majors house. We would meet there for a weekend of fun and food and a car show in their back yard. Ironically I first met Forest on a bus on the 17 Mile Drive at Pebble Beach. Wonderful people, as are most Pantera folks. Bob Reid

Charlie, I remember all those events, or at least your emails to the list about them back then. I also remember Forest Majors; absolutely one of the finest people you could ever hope to meet! My Forest story is somewhat similar. Back about that same time

And who can forget PONE Express II (the club's weed whacker powered blender), and making Jim Wallace's mango daiquiris in the parking lot at the motel, which we washed down with beer. Ah, those were the days. Bob Reid In a message dated 6/9/2016 4:45:05 P.M.
