Thank You Military Men and Women, parents, and siblings of military men & women taken away for short term and eternal. We salute you. I almost forgot that I have a luncheon this afternoon at the University of Maryland School of Engineering. I spent many days there about 25 years ago. They invited me to the luncheon because over the past so many years we have contributed over $10,000 to a scholarship annuity fund for any deserving automotive engineering student. This year the fund reached maturity and they can give a part of the money to help a student. Additionally, last year when one of our members passed away, his widow donated a large sum of money to the school as well in his name. I get to meet the student today and have lunch with the other companies and people that donate to the engineering school. I'm hoping to visit my engine builder today on the way back from the luncheon. I'm taking a change of clothes so I can revert from sophistication to wrench monkey quickly before arrival! I hope you all have another great day! Oh yeah I almost forgot... Thanks for the early HCF! |
