cowdery Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I probably won't get in early enough to attend, so you can take my name off the list, with regrets.<A target="_blank" HREF=http://cowdery.home.netcom.com>--Chuck Cowdery</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 My first commitment is to the events the Getz Museum holds, so my going to Frankfort will depend upon whether Falget can get along without that afternoon. Right now I would say it is a 50/50 chance as to whether I go or not.Mike Veach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Oh come on Omar we want to ride in the Bourbon Police paddy wagon! After you meet Jim Butler ( not of the Holy Roller East Coast Butlers) you'll see why he needs to be arrested! Just call me Rett!Linn SpencerHave Shotglass. Will Travel.

jbutler Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hey now, be nice.Why I need to be arrested is never immediately apparent upon meeting me. After about the fifth drink however, I become a hardened thought criminal. A repeat offender in fact.I will offend again!Omar, are there any door handles on the inside of Ken's van?Cheers,Jim ButlerStraightbourbon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Omar,I do want to come but it will depend upon when I have to pick up the whiskey and food for the academy. I hope to have it done by Wed. but it may be Thu. If that is the case I am not sure I will be able to make it. If I do come I am bringing a pint of WWII era Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond.Mike Veach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
