C@GOYA

Commitment to Whitinsville GOYA group. Wow!!! history was made. they had overbooked  not double booked not triple booked but quadruple booked! GOYA indeed!  I bet the collection was nice. Clinton brought many people as well . Tom B, Pat, Otto, Rocky, Tom G. Katie and Kathy V set out but got lost and gave up when they learned the situation. Otto wrapped it up with his usual " its the first drink" message.  the four groups were Cumberland Rhode Island, Newton Wellesley, Clinton, Westborough forge.

Charlton Saturday  night , one of favorite groups to visit. 8 of us offered our experience (201 years) strength and hope. Great night.

C@Spencer

Nice ride to Spencer on a warm spring evening. Spencer group has always been a warm, respectful destination. 255 years of experience, strength, and hope in the cars My sandaled toes were still showing paint from a 6 year olds mothers day fun. Kathy V, Tom B, Jimmy, Rocky, Paul & Katie, Otto, Peter K, Ron and Dave F came along for support.

Otto celebrates 26 years, Rocky 30

And treated to a Pineapple upside down cake from Kim !
Here is the Limerick for Otto, that's O-T-T-O spelled backwards....


He's a Norwegian Canadian named Otto
With a decided tendency to get blotto 
After too much scotch whiskey 
His driving gets risky
Now he navigates sober in Rock's auto

C@Athol Original Tues Night

Well, we took two cars to Athol to put on a commitment, and had a good night. Tom B. chaired with speakers Big Al, Katie, Rocky, Otto, Paul L. and Jimmy, for a total of 228 years. Fabulous snacks( a coconut butterscotch sinful and a nice dark fruit cake) and good coffee. They come to us on Friday.

Central Park Old Timers Singing

So in the spring of 2009, some of our favorite old timers were lined up in the back, and when they saw the camera come out, they decided to break into song....well sort of a song, it went south pretty quickly
