We have a special relation with this Model T Club, because the start of our trip in May of this year was also organised by this club.
In May we had a ice-cream party.

the BBQ
During the old-timer event last October in Hershey, Dirk and Trudy has met Dennis Gorder, the president of the American Model T Club.
Dirk has told to Dennis that he tried to collect a licence plate of every State they traveled through. And he still was missing some plates.
Dennis arranged that there was in Houston a box with plates that Dirk was missing.

He also put a plate in the box from 1915 of Wisconsin, because Dirk’s Model T is from 1915.

Dennis also send a winter cap of the Model T Snowmobile Club.
Very useful for Dirk when he is ice skating in Holland.

A size of a shirt for Bill was not in Trudy’s store, so Dirk gave him a typical Dutch red handkerchief. Trudy promised Bill it was a clean one.

The reception in May and this fare well party in November in Houston affected us very much.
It is so special to be so far from home and to be welcomed so nice and friendly by people with the same passion; the Model T.
Members of the Space City Model T Club, thank you for this.
