Subject: EB04 - Long Distance Apology
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"
Hi,
EveryBus was fantastic this year and a little hectic for me. Among
the awards that is given each year is a long distance driving award.
This award is usually offered up to the person who makes the longest
specific to EB drive. This year, on the fly, I decided to give it to
Larry Chase http://www.roadhaus.com/ in celebration of his fantastic
journey around the continent and for the wonderful fellowship he
brought to EB.
It did not occur me at the time that I should also recognize folks
that drove straight to EveryBus only for the purpose of being there.
I has been pointed out that I have done a disservice by not
recognizing those folks for their tremendous commitment and efforts
to get to EB. I am very sorry and I hope you will all forgive me. I
would like to recognize folks publicly in this forum.
The hands down winner is
Leo, 1982 Vanagon, Tulsa OK, 1120 miles driven straight in less than 22 hours.
Way to go Leo!!!!!!!
I spent some time going through the registration book for EB04 and
starting compiling a list of anyone who drove more than 500 miles to
get to EB. The distances are estimated using the postal code for EB
and the postal code for the bus owner as entered in the EB04 book. I
hope I did not miss anyone.
