One delight of attending this show is seeing the Guenthers' friend, Rich Morgan, stop by or, better yet, going to his home to see his whole collection. This one is his 1914 Winton. |

Saturday evening was perfect for a great concert headlined by Herman's Hermits, led by Peter Noone. They put on a terrific show, playing many of their old hits, plus several others. Peter didn't even have to ask the crowd to sing along with them on "Love Potion #9." When he asked the crowd to join in for an extended version of "Henry The Eighth," nearly everyone did. The Hermits were preceded by The Buckinghams, another popular '60s group. They, too, sang a mix of their old hits and others. Most of the original band is now gone, though; and the current group was not as good as the old. |

Howard Guenther wears his new yachtsman's cap and 427 emblem, while Val wears her new regal robe and crown as the new CEO of her credit union. Howard tried to find her a throne with armrests and a taller back, but one just wasn't available. |

On Show Day: Howard and Val Guenthers' '65 T-Bird and the Cougars of Jim Compton, Charleen and Larry Purviance, Rick and Karen Morehouse, and Elaine and Jim Pinkerton. The Cougars of Don and Cheryl Skinner and Val and Howard Guenther are just past the Pinkertons' Cougar. |
