Christopher  Morris,Vancouver, BC & John McKenty, Perth,Ont, Canada

Despite the fact that I contributed very little, Chris was kind enough to leave my name on the paper he recently delivered at the 25th International Cycling Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. Click here to read Chris' presentation on the 1936 Flyte.

Jamie McGregor

Yours truly with Cori & Mark at the CVBS on Sunday. Great people!

A special thanks to Jamie McGregor and his wife Ann who hosted the first ever Vintage CCM Supper & Social the evening before the show. Despite being very busy, they were wonderful hosts. The steaks & salad were delicious; the beer and wine was cold. The guests were fantstic. It was great to finally meet folks like Wayne and William who flew in from the east coast, Cori and Mark, Ken and his buddy, Bob, who allowed me to use his washroom, Jody and his wife and all who were able to attend the supper. Hope we can do it all again!

It was great the next day to meet Ron Tupper of the Canadian Wheelman and other members of the Forum, including Rob and Evelyn and Alan. Be sure to check out their photos of the show.
