Grady and myself were very glad to have been a part of lasts years gathering, usual fun hanging out in the parking lot...

Me too, I have a family wedding that day... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I've read the book cover to cover almost twice already... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

A side note....Our ocal Vocational school ( Cuyahoga County) received one of the Camaros (and a truck) after the strike. I worked on that car many times and remember the lack of VIN and the GM tag that stated the donation and could never be registered or sold...Cool car, Gulf Green 350 car...and man was it clean!!

Going to be a great event! It is a small event by design as participation is limited, keeping the ratio of car owners to former Norwood workers at a ratio of roughly 1 car owner to 10 or more former workers. The main event is held at the old GM factory site at Norwood in the Norwood parking garage which eliminates weather as a factor.

The plant used the same garage location for GM sales promotions for the employees when the plant operated.
