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

I have a Forest story too.   Back when this list was new, I used to 
travel to Boston and Albany to  visit customers.  Forest offered his home 
and hospitality if I was  around on the weekends.

Then again, Pantera folks everywhere were  always welcoming.  I spent 
quite of bit of time with a bunch of  different people in SoCal back then 
too.

   And who can forget PONE Express II (the club's weed whacker powered

   at the motel, which we washed down with beer.  Ah, those were the

      Forest and Georgene introduced to Panteras by taking me to an

     had found me a Pantera in less than two months. The rest is history.
     Thru the Pantera community, I have met many great and giving people.
     At one time we had 5 Panteras in a town of 7,000 people. Now we are
     down to 3 Panteras in town.

     Then again, Pantera folks everywhere were always welcoming.  I spent

         Forest and Georgene introduced to Panteras by taking me to an
     Italian
        car event at the Pocono race track. Needless to say Forest had
     found me
        a Pantera in less than two months. The rest is history. Thru the
        Pantera community, I have met many great and giving people.
        At one time we had 5 Panteras in a town of 7,000 people. Now we
     are
        down to 3 Panteras in town.

        and hospitality if I was around on the weekends.
        Then again, Pantera folks everywhere were always welcoming.  I
     spent
