MORMON LAKES DINNER CRUISE
We’re tempted to say that the Mormon Lakes Dinner Cruise , coordinated by Lance McKee, was a smashing success. However, Kennedy and Ed Torel might not find any humor in the adjective. It was although, a beautiflul evening for a cruise and many members drove their classics. Kathy McKee reports: ” 25 cars attended:
Paul Wilk, Randy Travis, Bob & Maggie Bortree, Cecil & Lela Gary (they drove their yellow '34 Ford, but didn't park by us and I didn't get a picture - sorry!) Rob & Adriana Penhaker, Ken & Candy Howard, Mac & Jackie
McCrorey, Ed & Kennedy Torel, Lance and Kathy McKee, Kathy Perkins, Ed & Pat Wiebe, Mike & Lacy
Ebersole, Alan & Alice St. Germain and Jerry & Donna McGlothin/Viehdeffer.”
On the way home, Ed and Kennedy Torel had an all-to-close encounter with a deer ( see pictures of their car on
next page). We’re told that the encounter will run $7,000 to repair. Wow, now that’s expensive Venison!

OUCH! One car and one deer getting too friendly.
