Murphy Motor Ralley

It was our own Katy Murphy with her trademark forthrightness that finally challenged Kym Manke to 'shift' (gears) or get off the pot after he had been musing about a road rally fundraiser benefiting the organ fund for some time.

And shift they did!  Convertibles, T-tops and vintage cars all turned out on a beautiful Saturday in September as 30 travelers met at the Spinxs in Gowensville. The cars included corvettes, a Corvair, convertible Volvo, Mini and Miata, with the star of the show a red (natch) Ferrari. After a big send off the route took the travelers Route 11 to Rosmond and on to the Parkway. The journey ended at the Moose Cafe with a celebratory lunch. The Del Sol brought up the rear, since Ben had the tools and knows how to use them; but no repairs were needed. A huge success—the rally is destined to be an annual event.
