People you want to meet from FABO but are to elusive or to far?

I have met so many members I have lost count, everyone has been awesome and they feel like family. Long distance I have met many too, the farthest ones have been Memike-Arkansas, Goldfish65-S. Carolina, Ramenth-New York, 6pk2goDemon-Arizona...many from the 5 state area too. Infact, I need to make a road trip to see Toolmanmike in Iowa for a trans for Kim’s Valiant. I would like to go to the MoPar Nats again so I can meet many new members! Some of these members have become life long friends.

Memike Traveled to MN to visit us not long after my mom passed away in 2015, first time the guy had ever flown too!! He stayed a week and I’ll never forget the time spent with him, we laughed and cried together, drank and did burnouts and seen some cool car collections, made so many memories with us. He topped his trip off with the biggest MoPar show in the Midwest and there he got to meet so many FABO members there too. He said he couldn’t go home till he knew we were gonna be ok, guy has the biggest heart of anyone I know! I got to see him again in the spring of 2018 when my wife planned a surprise road trip for us, on our way to Nashville she planned a afternoon where she surprised me with a visit from Memike and his lovely wife Treva...so much fun and it was nice that they could meet us for lunch and drinks. Also on that same trip Kim once again surprised me with a visit to see Toolmanmike on the way home.

Another friend who has always been there for me has been David goldfish65. He visited us here in MN in the fall of 2016 and spent a week here. Then in 2017 Kim and I traveled to SC for a week to visit him, what an amazing time, Charleston is beautiful and the food was the best I have ever eaten...we enjoyed it so much we went back in the spring of 2018! Then last fall he traveled to MN so he could attend our wedding, what fun and special memories...David is like the big brother I never had,a true friend forever!

I have many more stories and hope to make many more memories. I have not been here as much the last few years but have been around lately and I missed this place. We are planning a road trip out west this spring, travel on Route 66, stop in Lubbock Texas to visit the Buddy Holly museum and his final resting place, then possibly a trip up costal HWY 1 in Cali north before heading towards home....maybe I’ll have to plan to meet a few members on the way..I know Abodybomber Tim lives that direction and would like to meet him too some day as well as many others.
