<VV> 2006 Juna Tuna

[AeroNed at aol.com]

The 2006 Juna Tuna is now history. We started out slow, a sway bar bushing  
replacement on Steve Ziegler's 64 Monza. Kirk Eck was the main wrench turner on 
 that job, fresh off rebuilding his car's front end. There were several other 
 little projects that were going on around the shop, Jeff Schramm rebuilt his 
 car's heater box, David Fasgold swapped out his car's front seats, a tune 
up, an  oil change and I rebuilt a couple LM lower hinges.
 
We had several folks that were new to the Tuna. They were impressed with  
Terry Kalp's shop. No matter how you explain Terry's facility, it is just no  
substitute to seeing and exploring it.
 
The BIG surprise was lunch. Tuna are famous for the lunch spread we always  
enjoy. However this Juna Tuna was extra special. Bob Bright and Bernie Strecker 
 were our chefs for a steak cookout. The excellent Kansas steaks that Julie  
Strecker bought were perfect. There was also a large assortment of sides  
including homemade cole slaw, potato salad, and the too popular bake beans. The  
meal was followed by desert. The dessert table gets bigger and better at every  
Tuna. We had fresh fruit salad, blueberry cobbler, carrot cake, chocolate 
cake,  brownies and chocolate chip cookies, and that's just what I sampled.
 
As always, we owe the success of this Tuna to our host, Terry Kalp. Without  
his hospitality the Tunas just would not be as popular as they have  become.
