well i'll have to see.. what day did this accident happen.. i mean ****.. if yall want to have it happen next week it can.. but its up to JonPG on a good day so that we know whats good with him and the family.. cuz i would like for them to be there.. i'm actually off this Sat evening..
Its short notice.. but if everyone can make it the following tuesday.. that would be good.. Give people some time to have someone cover a shift at work or something..

A place to meet.. i would have to look that up.. and Drive the whole ****** strip of Georgia Ave at 20 mph.. at the crash site we slow to 5mph and drop off cards, flowers, pics, etc..

I'll post asap once i find a place for all of us to meet.. I choose tuesday because that's the day we shall never forget.. If yall have a different day yall think would be best please POST!

I'm sorry I can't be there physically (I'm way too far away to make it) but I'll definitely be with you in spirit. However, is there an address I can send a card to?

Jon, I'm sorry for your loss and your words have brought tears to my eyes. I'm very glad that your father had a loving family and a good life.

Thanks guys for all the kind words.

I would like to talk to my mom first about what day she would want to the caravan to happen. I imagine that the most likely day will be a saturday or sunday since that's when the most of my family would be able to get together for it. This really means alot to us guys, thank you.

You're going to need to get more than 8 cars to come out if you want the news to see how much of a community this forum is. as for meeting areas, theres a pretty decent sized parking lot up in olney behind the KFC thats already used evenings by a classic car club. plenty of room for 30+ cars. and its only a couple miles from incident site.

i read about this on the RX-8 forum...
John, my heart goes out to you and your family in this time of need. I never met your father since I dont' frequent this forum much but he absolutely must have been a great man to have raised a son such as yourself.

I'd be there for the caravan if I could. R.I.P. Mr. Myers.

i would honestly love to but i'm in school right now and washington DC is quite a trip. still, figure out a date and i'll see if i can't round up some rotary people up here. i know a few (even though i am not one myself).

btw i think its awesome you guys are doing this. and yeah... it'd be nice if there were hundreds of 7s out there, but i don't think it matters if its a small caravan. it'll be well appreciated regardless.

Guys i would very much prefer that this remain a non-media event. I understand the draw to get publicity for the club but i would prefer that nothing happened with regards to the caravan than my mother being forced to stand in front of a news camera to talk about my dad.

Shoot me the time and date and I would love to try and make it...I also met paul a few months back to sell him an fd guage hood and he truly was a great guy and I am just thankful I had the chance to meet such a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members. Here is the feedback from our transaction:

R.I.P Pual and we will all miss you dearly.
