Once again we had a successful and fun gathering this year that was organized and hosted by Arlene and Rick in the St. Louis, MO area.

Thursday
Thursday afternoon while the ladies mingled at the Kearns Estates,
for those fellas who where available, Rick took us for a tour of the Federal-Mogal Motorparts facility.
This included touring the training, testing, failure analysis, sales, machine shop, etc. areas, as well as meeting a few of Rick's coworkers.
We also learned of Rick's "Garage Gurus" status. And were treated to a Federal-Mogul 100 year celebration gift package.

We enjoyed ogling over many automobiles on the campus, visiting the gift shop, and enjoying each others company.
Then it was off to the annual "Engineering Meeting".
Rick first took us to Trailhead Brewing Company in the historic town of St. Charles. http://www.
(Gabe learned of their "no cut-off sleeve shirt policy", so he was given a yellow T-shirt to wear while business, philosophical discussion, and laughter was conducted at the bar)
The delightful Bar Wench was Taylor
Then onto "B. Halls Bar & Grill" where we shared a few pitchers and continued our meeting. (Drink Special: $6.25 pitchers of Bud, Bud Light and McGolden Light)

Sunday
Unfortunately, we all headed home! Until next year.....
And speaking of next year:
In planning the 2019 G6 gathering, it would be July 12th-14th, 2019.
I'd like to ask if someone that has not already hosted our event would they be interested in volunteering to do so?
In looking through the list of those that have not hosted gatherings are the: Morton's, Lamb's, Morton's, Harrington's, Morton's, and Whitlocke's.
Would one of you couples want to host next year's event?
Please get back to me within 30 days if you are interested.
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in the future, as the comradery, friendship's, and spirit of G6 lives on.
Sincerely,
Gabe
this is when Cindy lost her margarita virginity.
