The St. Louis Pyramids!
Otherwise known as the Cahokia Mounds. Yes, the elusive
pyramids that Bob Vickers has been talking about for years. He
finally found them, and snapped this photo.

| A Message from the
President |
The June CTOH Monthly Meeting will be held at Wyndham and Nancy
Smith's house on Father's Day, Sunday the 19th. The club voted
at the May meeting to pay for the food (BBQ, etc) and drinks (BYOB
for beer/wine/liquor). Members are encouraged to bring a
dessert. We will have a drawing at the June meeting for
another Interstate battery - to enter the drawing, you must have
your 55, 56 or 57 TBird at the meeting.
At the May meeting, an Interstate battery (courtesy of Gerry
Estes) was won by Geary Ashby as the door prize.
Let's all plan on attending this event. Hope to see you
there.
May you have fair winds and following seas, keep the engine
cool and the diesel out of the gas tank.

Meeting |
The June meeting will be held on Sunday, June
19, 2005, at the home of Wyndham and Nancy Smith, 9121 Kenilworth,
just 1 block south of the Katy Freeway, and 2 blocks east of
Silber. Exit Silber either way from the Katy Freeway, stay
south on Silber past the Jack in the Box, and turn left at the first
street (Kenilworth). Proceed east on Kenilworth, and the
Smith's are at 9121, on the right side of the road. Bring your
Bird--there's plenty of parking. We will eat at 1pm, and meet
at 2 pm. Wyndham is firing up his smoker, and good things
happen when he does. The Club is buying the beef, and all you
need to do is provide your own beverage and dessert to share.
If you get lost, the Smith home number is
713-686-4815. |

| A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa. "The
material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of
us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode
your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets
can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused
by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is
the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it.
Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief
and suffering for years after eating it?" After several seconds of
quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and
softly said, "Wedding Cake." | |
