This morning we all headed out for breakfast then came back to the motel to fix Miz B's ills! It took about an hour and she was good to go! The new distributor did the trick! Then John and I headed over to the University Center to make my presentation to the MAFCA Board on the status of the 2012 MAFCA National Awards Banquet. With that finished, we went downtown to find a spot for lunch. We found a great little Irish Pub, where John enjoyed fish and chips and I enjoyed a bowl of Guiness beef stew. We then returned to the motel to pack for our trip back south. We got as much in the rumble seat as possible then decided it was time to get into our Model A period clothes for the banquet. Dinner was held in the Superior Dome with most of the judged cars around the floor. We were treated to a talk by Edsel Ford, Jr., and the 20 millionth Ford was there, as well. There were lots of awards presented for judged cars. Then I was next on the agenda to present the invitation for the Awards Banquet. All went well. The surprise of the evening came when Dick was asked to come to the podium to represent Shirley. Shirley was being presented with the "Hard Luck" Award of the Convention! She was, by this evening, sporting a bright blue cast on her broken wrist! Come to think of it, that cast is just about the same color as Miz B. Tomorrow morning, we hit the road for our return trip south!
