Big Thanks and Kudos to
- Hagerstown Aviation Museum staff (especially Karen and the volunteers who provided water, moved the planes around etc) the vehicle display under the wings of all those majestic warbirds was fantastic.
- To the B&G military vehicle club Rally volunteers, officers staff and their family members
- To Liberty Warbirds for flying in their Huey, loved to hear that distinctive whop-whop that only a Huey makes
- To our venders, this wouldn't be possible without your generous participation
- Visitors, customers, show vehicle participants, 49 great years and many location moves, best ones coming up see you at the 50th

I can only make Friday and Saturday this year. I'll be in row M. I have some large parts in the classifieds. If you are interested in any of those items, contact me about delivery. I will likely not bring those parts without deposit & commitment.

I have some miscellaneous other parts I can/will bring (I'll add to the list as I dig things out):

New M939 hydraulic winch control valve - $150
New M939 Fuel tank strainer - $35
S-250 shelter lifting and tie-down sling setup - $150

Miscellaneous lights and small parts for 5-ton trucks - I need to figure out what I still have in the garage.

50th Rally Update Looking forward to next weeks East Coast Military Vehicle Rally at Hagerstown Aviation Museum. Big kudos to Anja, she sent a message that it was about sold out with a few spaces left. Dick and Diane Deren making a special trip up from Florida . I first met Dick and Doc Mortimer circa 1988 at then Ordnance Museum when I was working at the Test and Evaluation Command. I had restored an M38 back to a motorpool ready condition thanks to some helpful friends at Aberdeen Test Center. Thought I had invented a new hobby, then Dick gives me a stack of Army Motors and Supplyline and realized how naïve I had been, internet had just started gaining momentum so I was way behind. Anyway a bit early for Thrown Back Thursday (TBT) but here are some past photos. I was the youngest club member when I joined...now at 65 think I am still the youngest, bringing the 1943 Command Car and a load of militaria crapola. Looking forward to seeing everyone
