Talking Illinois Chapter Chat, No Topic Needed

I thought I'd check in and say Hi.

It's been quite a long time since I was here last. (9-27-2007)

I'm still busy with SCCoA and TCCoA, etc. as I own two Thunderbird Super Coupes now.

Glad to see "our" chapter is still active years later.

Hey Ron
Carol and I are doing fine. We are down to only 3 Ford trucks now: The 1973 F100 and the two 1992 F150 flaresides. Was kinda sad to see the others go, but the storage was just getting too pricey.

Hello there !
I have been on here a lot, but only in the SD and 7.3 forums

I have not heard from Scott Listy(IL Prez) in quite awhile
I think he was involved in a car accident back some time ago

Bob,

If you do get something scheduled in Sept, see if you can get a weekend after the 13/14 weekend. I'll be back in town the next weekend. Ron wanted to check the Ring and Pinion's to see how they are wearing.

Dave..

Someone in IL must want to see the chapter survive.

Who will step up and at least volunteer for the job.

PM me your telephone no. and we can chat about how easy it really is to be chapter leader.
