Judging for CTCI retros

[5bird7]

I was surprised myself to show up. This was not planned, was in Florida to see my brother who is in hospice care. My nephews found out about the award and insisted that I go. I had to shop for clothes to wear as I had not brought anything with me. It was an honor to be able to present the Ron McCloud memorial award and talk to many people.

So glad that you were able to attend the event, Liz, and present the award in honor of Ron. So sorry that you have had other losses in your family this year. Glad you were able to visit your brother in time. hugs from here in Texas.

My condolences to you too, Liz. At the end of July, my wife Barbara lost her younger brother. He had been living with us in Charleston after a series of seizures which destroyed 30 years of memories and he was ready to pass away. It was still very difficult to see him slip away these last two years. The last 2 months he was in hospice care too.

Thanks Gene, my brother passed away Monday morning. I was very fortunate to be able to see him over the weekend.

Well the convention is over. I was surprised that Liz showed up for Ron's memorial and was glad to see her. Black Beauty won first place in the retro modified and also won the People's choice! Both Stewart Weirs merlot and Baby Blue also were winners. Next year CTCI will be in Iowa. Lots of work but rewarding...

Liz, That’s the ONLY dance I do, but have to be half in the bag to do it!! Hi from Karen and Steve in Sarasota!

[Sharehisbirds]

So good to hear from you, Liz. Hope you’re doing well.

Thank you Gene, I'm doing well for an Old woman..LOL. I do try to stay busy and active. I have gotten into Line dancing and I love it. Hope you are doing well also.
Take care.

Liz I made sure Ron was included in the conventions MIA for those that have passed. They will have a bagpipe playing Amazing Grace with a flag ceremony. I've got fond memories of you guys. Be well

1. OH, CTCI members know Ron very well, I'm sure he would not have been overlooked in the MIA. Ron and I attended serveral of the CTCI events together.

VTCI has been judging them for years and I assume ITC has as well.

Only judging I need is my own. If ours passes my approval, it's way better than average for age and miles. Rolling one off a trailer a few times a year doesn't really impress me that much.

Since I'm not a member of ITC, and VTCI I wasn't aware of their doings. I liked the fact that CTCI was coming to Florida. Both the president and our regional rep own retros. Our club the Cetral Florida Thunderbirds is putting on this regional convention. Over a half of our members own retros! Without us Ralph Cowell our president could not have done this...
