Hi jeff,
I've sent Joe Naulty several photos of different cars at convention, but we 
just can not seem to get it togehter.  Dave Hutchins
It is better to give than to receive, the best things come in small 
packages.

>> Hello Brian,
>> I belong to the CARS division and use the list periodically for questions
>> regarding my 1957 Ford truck. I get a lot of information from those who
>> are on the list and have the info I am seeking. I don't see any other
>> divisions saddled with tour development where as you suggest that they
>> should be doing something.
>> Performing Arts should be touring Motown? Athletics should be setting
>> tours with the stadiums and games? Students with college tours?
>> Us in the CARS division tinker with cars, exchange info, chat at
>> conventions, learn alternative ways of doing tasks and enjoy the company
>> of others with similar interests. Thank you for looking up the Ford
>> information.
>> I included the list email address for you below. Maybe something is being
>> done or maybe you can find more out from the list.
>> See you at convention.
>> Regards,
>> Jeff

>>> hi,
>>>
>>> excuse the cross post.

>>> I have seen several people asking about what tour would be possible to
>>> experience so i called the Henry Ford museum.
>>>
>>> I learned that especially if you are mostly or completely blind, you 
>>> will
>>> not likely enjoy the ford museum if you go by yourself as they do not
>>> have assistant workers that walk around and answer questions and you
>>> can't touch the cars.
>>> The lady who answered the phone said you could easily spend about three
>>> hours just
>>> in the autos section.
>>>
>>> It seems that the cars division should have already made the
>>> contact/collected the information but there doesn't seem to be a list 
>>> for
>>> that group and nothing happens between conventions.
>>>
>>> I plan to schedule my return flight later in the day so i can stop at 
>>> the
>>> ford museum which is half way between the marriott and the airport.
>>>
>>> i explained that there will be 2,500 to 3,000 people at the convention
>>> and didn't know how many would be looking to take a tour and we have a
>>> antiques and hot rods group and they have provided cloth gloves in the
>>> past so we could feel parts of the cars that were displayed.
>>>
>>> the lady will call me back next week after she does some research which
>>> will also give people some time to consider this plan;
>>> email me if you want to be part of a group tour of 15 to 25 people which
>>> will cost $150.
>>> we will be provided with a guide that will tell us details about what
>>> we're looking at like model, year, features, history, etc. and the guide
>>> will assist us for 90 minutes.
>>> After that time, you can explore more on your own or possibly pay again
>>> for another session.
>>>
>>> the proposed time would be somewhere between 12:00p and 3:00p so you
>>> could have time to check out, eat lunch, then travel to the museum.
