The following are photos and descriptions from
Florence, SC on January 31-February 1.
The digital readout on the dash read exactly 901.1 when I pulled into Jim Gleason's back yard, where his
immaculate shop, 'Old World Music', is located. Jim, a former Marine Corps
repair tech, has successfully run a nearly full service repair shop for the last
eight years here. Previously, he was repairman for 17 of his 24
years in the corps.

Participants came from 5 states to attend this clinic. Jim worked really hard
to be
sure that every thing was in order and he also fed everyone in real
southern style. Starting with a fresh Bar-B-Qued 160 pound pig, with all the trimmings,
and some alligator thrown in for good measure. Thanks again Jim. |
