I am really proud of all of the members of the W113 Pagoda group. I am espically proud of Jim villers continued help and expert video work and still think we owe him our graditute for his hard work that has made our group come alive to new members around the world and all the people and experts who contribute at this event.

Please advise me of the date of this event so I can send products out on time.

 
Again I am proud of this group and look forward to still being active in what ever way I can.

Sincerely

Hi Bob,

If you mean Joe Alexander's Tech Session in Blacklick, Ohio, it is July 27 to 29.  If you would like to send some sample products to promote your business and help fellow Pagoda enthusiasts, you can send them to the address in this thread:

We're all hoping you have a quick & steady recovery so you can make it to Blacklick again in 2009.

Bob .... Thank you for the kind words.  A club requires contributions of many sorts from many members and this group is fortunate to have many individuals who freely contribute their time and talents; I include you as one of the early contributors.

If you thought that I was the video person, I was just the subject; Dick Mentzer shot the videos and should receive the credit.

The video was distributed to members by Ray Hays who generously did the DVD graphic, dupicated and mailed to those who requested it.  In additon Jim's video is on line through Google video and has had almost 1000 hit.

(download to your desktop for best quality)

Also Peter Venesp put our 05 Blacklick Tech Session video on the club's opening web page and it has had 3000 hits. I assume most came from people visiting the site.

My Mistake for my quike  slide of the hand before engaging brain. My sinceer thanks to Dick Mentzer and Ray Hays for a great job. 1000 hits and counting a picture tells a thousand words. If any one has an extra copy on CDR they can send me I would appreciate it. I am not as computer savy as some of you and always like to keep a copy of these videos to show to my car friends.

Thank you for the corrections.

Dick,

Can you give me a quick tip on how to download the video?  The usual "right click and save as" doesn't seem to work.  Thanks.

Pete S.
