A fitting end for a magnificent car, Rich. 
 
I didn't make the Golden meet but I'm sure Rob and Marnie went  way above 
the call of duty and hosted a great meet, as they always  do.
 
Thanks, Gary Hagy

Once in  a great while, a car comes along with such style and performance
that it  causes grown men to gasp and young men to dream.  Such was the  
case
with the 1955 Chrysler 300 and its successor  300's.



Similarly, once in a great while a man comes along with  such gifts of style
and performance to garner the recognition and praise of  his fellow men (and
women).  Such a man is our member, consultant and  meet host Rob Kern, M.D.
In addition to taking care of spiritual, family  and professional duties, he
has seen fit to share some of his time, many  gifts and energy in ORGANIZING
meets that provide us the opportunity to  share personal perspectives and
technical information while making new  friends and deepening old
friendships.  Marnie's hand is highly  visible as she shares the work and
lovingly supports Rob in every way and  son RJ professionally documents our
events while adding his unique persona  to the mix.



My thanks to all of the Kerns and to the many  others who worked so hard to
make the Golden event a Golden dream meet that  will long be remembered.



Those present at the Golden meet are  aware that I took possession of a 
rusty
relic of a 300K coupe there.   I thought it would be interesting to the
attendees to display it along with  the concours-grade 300's and it actually
finished second in the two-car  class headed up by Shanda Epting's beautiful
ram-K Silver Special.   Thanks to all who good-naturedly looked over and
through the sorry old  coupe as it tried to maintain its dignity.  We got 
the
black K coupe  back to California and are considering our options-including
transplanting  its 300K ram engine into our 300K ram (originally)
convertible.  The  coupe is apparently rusted beyond all salvation and is
ready to become an  organ donor to our convertible and to others needing
special 300K  items.  No greater love hath any car than to be stripped of  
its
vestments and sent to the crusher that other cars might be restored and  
live
on.
