I just spoke to Shiela. We are adding the words "Dedicated to the loving memory of tomcatt" to the Spring Fling tee shirts.

Sheila is exploring the possibility of making magnetic ribbons in Silverstone with the word tomcatt on them for all of the participants in the Spring Fling. We'll know tomorrow night.

It's a good idea, Patty. Ribbons to pin on us, or tie to the car antenna?
I was thinking car antennas. Not high tech, but something for us all to have. You know how it is. Sometimes people just feel the need to do something. It won't bring Tom back though.

I wonder what my Mustang will have for an antenna.

In the Spring Fling 06 Tee Shirt thread. Please do it tonight as I have to give Shiela the order within a day or two.

Thanks.

I had a drink in your honor this evening, Tom. Great Lakes Brewing Company's Elliot Ness that you liked so much. I made sure I had friends around to join in the toast.

Here's to you, Tom.

Hi Jonas. I keep thinking about the night after dinner in Ohio, at the Marrieta Brewing Co. Do you remember it? A group of us were down by the river just walking and talking. Tom and Hilly, Carmen and Sam, me, you, Anika and Virginija,...others. It was so nice. At the end, we were watching your little engergizer bunny, Anika, run up and down the stairs.

I had sent an e-mail to Jonas about the ribbon tribute to Tom.

My first thought was about a ribbon tied to the rear view mirror. But that could create a safety issue. My second thought was about around the antennae. My last thought I think holds merit: A ribbon around the shifter.

This would remind us of him evertime that we shift and more importantly it would be an "active" remembrance of him on the drive with us.

Just a thougth.
I think we should do that in addition to the magnets that Rob comes up with.

Patty, do you want to go out & look for dark silver ribbon? Or should I?
