Here is the "morphed" photograph and my Grandfather and I in front of a restored Standard Oil gas station along Route 66 in Odell Illinois.

PS - Thanks goes to Jim (AZ Yellowbird) for colorizing my Grandfather from the original B/W photograph.

I just like to show off Mark501's white and my grey... two darn pretty T'birds, I think. This pic is at Hot Springs, AR on Lake Catherine, I believe. Forgive my poor photographic skills.

Kathe,
Going out of town for the weekend, just wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your landslide win for T-Bird of the month contest!:biggrin:
Beautiful picture, beautiful car!:pbj:
Want to tell Mike, Irish Thunder, Brd4jk, nc2k2tbird, kokomo, and HKS. GREAT pictures!:biggrin: It would be a hard choice!
And yes, I want to thank the other seven BB members who voted for me! (Yes, of course I voted for myself), for your kind words, and support!:biggrin:
Kathe, Your photograph is to pretty, it looks like it belongs on a calender!:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[MikeB]

Just wanted to ditto everything Kevin said above (even though I'm not totally willing to concede yet!).

ALL the pictures were great!

Even though it looks like my entry will not win "Thunderbird of the Month," the picture has extremely deep sentimental meaning to me and to Grampa Walt, posthumous congratulations on your '55 T-Bird! It will always be a "Thunderbird of the Month" to me.

Again, congratulations Kathe!:bestwish:

Mike

[Gobird]

:lol: It aint over till it's over.:smokin: The fat lady didn't sing YET!!

[5bird7]

yup! still got another day of voting to go - let's ring up the votes!

[SunLuvNBird]

Mike, don't give up so easily - it seems in the eight hours while I was sleeping last night, you've almost caught up with me!

Gobird, are you calling me fat? :lol::lol::cul:

[Gobird]

:lol: NO, it's just an old saying.:smokin:

[Gobird]

:biggrin: This is the clostest race we have seen yet!!!!

[A Justin]

Definately the closest race yet...

SunLuvNBird takes the win by 1 vote. Congratulations!

I believe this is the first Grey that has been bestowed TOTM!!:pbj: :pbj: :pbj:

Gorgeous car!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This was a close one.

Great shots everyone! Makes you wonder what next month has in store!:lol:

[BLUNBIRD]

The entries were so good this time! I think everyone was a winner.:bestwish:

[MikeB]

Now it's official; congratulations (officially) Kathe! ONE VOTE, can't get much closer than that.

To the other 75 members who voted for me, THANK YOU! Like I said in the previous post, the picture means a lot to me. Today, there are three people who have won "Thunderbird-of-the-Month," Kathe (she did by the votes), myself and Walter Thorn, my Grandfather.

:smokin:

This is a great group of people!:thumbsup:

Mike

[brd4jk]

congradulations...........kathy..... for some it was a really close race but for us others we will do it again:lol: :lol:

Greybird and I would like to thank all our voters, and our fellow contestants.

I am surprised (thought Mike was going to beat me out) and happily accept your nomination on behalf of all the MS Grey owners out there.

Seriously, thanks for all the kind words. I think everyone's pictures were beautiful, and I can't wait to see next month's submittals.

This is the greatest group of people I've "never" met :tongue:,
and I'm happy to be here. I think the best part is hearing everyone's stories about their families and their love of their cars, like Mike.

thanks again, from Greybird and me!
:drums: :guitar: :sing: :cheers:

[redbirdsal]

Kathe,

Congratulations on your win:bestwish: , and for the most gracious aceptance speech I've read in a long time:thumbsup:

Sally

[SixPac]

Kathe, congrats on your winning the TOM contest. Beautiful pic. We just found out yesterday that we have a new Bird owner in our area. It's MSG with black accent interior. Maybe we'll get him to join TBN.

And Mike. Your submission was also beautiful. I hope that you get a print, frame it, and hang it in your house. The pic of your Grandfather in his Bird is priceless.

[Sam]

Congratulations!!! Kathe, I knew you'd win!:biggrin:
With that photo! Who wouldn't have?:biggrin:
I can't wait until next month either!:biggrin:
By that time you might even beat Gobird on the number of post!
And then you'll have a new title!:biggrin:
And maybe even be a moderator!
All it takes is the love for your car, dedication, and time, and you'll be there girl!!!:bestwish:

[SunLuvNBird]

Good Heavens, Kevin!
