Back Roads Bunch
July Cruise Night
Marshall, TX
Seldom do we start a cruise
in the rain, yet we had five hardy Corvette Club members bring out their
pride and joys for a little camaraderie and enjoy a Marshall Cruise
Night. Larry and Deb, Linda Cates,
Russ, Johnny and Harriet, and Linda
I had a really fine time. We ate at
the Cajon-Tex restaurant. Craig and
Dale joined us little later. Good time
for all.

I always enjoy meeting up at Peters for various runs that we take. The large inventory of all the beautiful
cars and trucks at Peters, it just feels good to be there. On this day TOGCC had 13 Corvettes meet and
convoy to A.J.’s Fish House at Lake Fork, where we met up with 4 more TOGCC Corvettes.
