A memorial for James will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, 06.

The day will start with meeting up at 9:14 a.m. probably in Foster City.

Fiid is planning a route for a drive from there up Hwy. 92 to Skyline Blvd. and some of the wonderful, peaceful, twisty roads in the area finishing with a drive down the coast on Hwy. 1

We will end up in Half Moon Bay, at a Pub for lunch.

Susan and members of James' family, including his father will be at the Pub to meet and thank Club members for their kind thoughts and support.

Susan had graciously offered to host the lunch, Fiid and I are of the opinion Club members will pick up the tab.

Please Save the date...Additional Details will follow shortly.


Susan said she wished James' car was in driving condition, she would have loved to drive it with us, she is a real trooper.

Here is the route Fiid has planned:

We will meet at the Bridgepoint Shopping center at 9:14 am, leave 10:00 am

• Leave Bridgepoint shopping center and turn left onto Fashion Island Blvd (which is the same as Bridgepointe Pkwy). Turn left again onto Route 92 WEST.

• Stay on RT 92 WEST for 8.5miles (straight under Interstate 280).

• Turn left on Highway 35 (Skyline Blvd). Proceed south on Skyline for about 19 miles.

• Turn Right onto Alpine Road. Follow Alpine road for about 6.5 miles.

• Turn left on Pescadero Road. Follow Pescadero for about 12 miles.

• Turn right on Stage Road. (Alternative route: if you’re tired of twisties at this point – feel free to go straight here until you reach the Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 1) and then proceed north to Lunch at Cameron’s Inn. It will be around 16 miles North from here.

• Follow Stage Rd. for about 8 miles until you arrive at the Pacific Coast Hwy (Hwy 1).

• Turn right on the PCH, and continue North for about 8 miles.

• EXTRA CREDIT: Take a right on Purisima Creek Road. Follow it all the way around the top, and back down again. It will turn into Higgins Canyon Rd and bring you back down to the PCH. Take a left on the PCH and you should see Cameron’s on the right. This will add about 8 extra miles to the route….

• Turn left into Cameron’s Restaurant and Inn.

I am sorry, I would like to be there but life does not permit a trip that far. This

is a very nice thing for you all to do and I am sure the family apprecates it.

Jeff, I don't know, I will ask her about it. I am thinking it may be something that will be too much for her to deal with. I had thought of finding someone with a trailer, loading the car, and driving it to the pub where it would be when we all arrived.
This may be too much but I'll inquire.

Thanks for the tip on editing.

Since a lot of us will be at RRC, perhaps we can put something on our cars or dedicate a run in honor of James. Seems appropriate.

How aboaut a ribbon or something along those lines? I think that would be a great idea. We could wear Hawaiian / Floral print shirt? (matches the Hawaiian screen name?) Just a thought.

I've set the day aside and hopefully will be driving an appropriate vehicle (our 2002).

Is this a 914club event, or are the other related groups (minis?) also participating.

I'll be there.

Hey all, This should be a go. I'm waiting for info from the Pub in Half Moon Bay, but here is a draft of the route. Let me know what you think! I haven't actually personally driven all of these roads, so I'd love to know what y'all think!

The plan is to meet at Bridgepointe Shopping center at 9:14 and leave at 10:00.

Could someone forward the info to the Fiat list?

As for a commemorative decal - The best idea I have is a Rally decal like the monte carlo rally ones - but with the text "RALLYE MONTEBELLO" and maybe a 914 sillouette at the top.... I tried to get a design together but found myself severly lacking in both time and skills....

We're going to have another baby tomorrow (literally!) so I'm going to be out of it for a few days.

Thanks!

Fiid.

RSVP

If you are planning to attend - it would be great if you could add a note here saying you're going to attend along with a number of cars and a number of people - just so we have a ball-park on the size. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks much!

Thanks for putting this together. Sylvie and I wish we could be there, but we're going to be at a wedding near Yosemite that weekend.

I've been waiting for a memorial thread like this to surface.
However, the given date is a no-go for me. I'll be in Oregon
that weekend. The drive looks great, I really wanted to participate.

Thank you to Ed and Fiid for your work on getting this memorial together. Truly, the outpouring on this board has been astonishing and enormously touching. I'm glad to know that James was so affectionately known here. It is a great comfort to me and to his parents that he touched so many lives.

I am sorry that the date conflicts for so many people. The date was picked for a variety of reasons and it was the best we could do.

I hope I'm not stepping on the good work of Fiid and Ed when I say that Mini and FIAT people are more than welcome. Please do join us for a drive and raise a glass for a dear, departed friend. I can't think of a better way to celebrate his life.

Thanks,
S
