Unfortunately, the Kelo man isn't making it this year. Just saw his Round Tuit teammate, Randy Boadway - Kelo's company (Edge Sweets - engineering, not candy) was awarded some high-falutin govt contracts (meaning much work & travel for Kelo) & a daughter is getting married (add sound of $$$$$ going round & round - cha ching).

My wife and kids camped with my in-laws there a few summers back. It's a nice place as campsites go. Doubly so being as close as it is to the city. I'm not a camper, but I've been known to sip a Kool-Aid around the fire.
An added benefit to Winton Woods is its proximity to Johnnys Toys. One of the areas truly great hobby stores. Great engine prices. Unfortunately the kit selection has blown chunks of late.
Kelo-man? Sounds like a girly-man to me.

Not coming to NARAM. SHEESH!

Same here - I'm going under the knife in early August (knee surgery - nothing too complicated) and then heading to Cape Cod for some R&R, but I'm going to NARCON if
I have to walk....

If it's just one knee, conceivably you could hop...

I can't make it to Scenic but Humid Ohio since we're headed for the Oregon coast (800 miles away) early next month, but my wife has been looking at the travel guide for Kenosha, Wisconsin. Apparently a visit to the Jelly Belly factory (~6 miles west) is on our itinerary.

NARCON itself will hopefully involve plenty of quality time with guys named Carl and Bill and the like.

Cheers,

So you're coming to Oregon about the same time I'll be leaving. Where on the coast are you going?

I can do that, too. I was very disapointed that I couldn't make it to the last one to meet
Mr. Estes and his wife.

Question: is Lee Piester's last name pronounced "Pie-ster" or"Pee-ster". I've alwas gone with the former, but then again I always pronounced Estes "Est-ees" (and the Apogee II
"A-PODGE-ee" II, as well as a few other more embarassing mispronounciations)

We're going to see if we can get them to come again in 2006.

Piester: Pronounced "PEE-ster"

Newport. We visited Seaside while we were in the vicinity of Portland about 4-5 years ago, IIRC.

(heavy sigh of mock disapproval) You shoulda gone with the ladder... I mean, "latter."

(chuckling) I remember reading the 1970's Centuri catalog with the FlutterBy, I think, and pronouncing the words "exotic" and "unique" as "ee-TOX-ic" and "un-KWI."

And I was embarrassed to mispronounce "Avenger" as "AV-en-jur" while talking with my former boss about motorcycles... of which he knew a lot, and I knew... (Schultz voice) "*NUSS-sink!*"

Which explains this:
pronouncing the words "exotic" and "unique" as "ee-TOX-ic" and "un-KWI."

"PEE-ster", huh? Well I'll be dipped.....
Be sure to visit Mo's when you get to Newport for seafood - locally famous for their shrimp.
