Event: March Club Meeting
Date: 20-Mar-04
Location: "Kaiserville" aka: Danny's place in Austin
Description: What a blast!

The club tried something new this time.  The monthly meeting took on more of a 'social' atmosphere with a large number of members and guests showing up at Danny's place, aka: Kaiserville in Austin.

About 11:00am or so, people starting arriving with vehicles and show&tell items.  I drove my M38A1 over and Toby drove his M170.  I also pulled out my 1939 Colson bicycle from the barn to display.  Danny pulled out his M151A2/M416 and his CJ7/M614 combo.  Fred H had his CJ2A on-site as well.

Also in attendance were dad, Danny's wife, Herb T, Jim H, Glen V, Don and Carol Ling, Tim W, Jeni L, Barry F, John A and his wife, Jim W from San Antonio and Claude V.  Herb brought along a lot of his radio gear and Toby brought along items for sale as well.

Great discussions were held in the field regarding many topics including the M614 trailer Danny has acquired.  We all believed he was 'mistaken' about it's identification and it was an M416.  However, after Danny produced the M614 dataplate, we all stood there amazed and dumbfounded.  

After a great lunch of sausages and beverage, Tim conducted the monthly meeting in near-record time.  After the meeting, several members departed but most stayed around to converse and consume beverage of choice.  A bit later on, Glen and Herb and I broke out the chop-saw, plate steel, welding unit and grinders to fabricate a radio bracket for Herb's GPW.

About 4:30pm or so, most everyone had departed.  A good time - you bet!
