Ed & Jean Monell's
Bellevue, WA

Several Register members attended the June 19th event at Ed and Jean Monell's home.  In spite of the  absence of sun and the occasional sprinkle, everyone seemed to enjoy the drive around the nearby rural areas and the finale which involved a spectacular view of Seattle, Lake Washington and Bellevue.  Most were surprised that there even was a rural area that close to Bellevue.  Ed and Jean, and Hamp and Cindy Phillips drove their TD's; Jim and Jan Rothwell drove their TF ( and, Ben and Laura Prince showed up later for the party with their TF ); Bob and Stephanie Kampas drove their GT.  The rest drove more “weather friendly” cars, including two Mini's.

The day featured the debut at a Register event of Hamp and Cindy Phillips newly restored red TD – a really lovely car.  In fact, the car had been driven only a few miles since its second birth – never on wet roads.  It must have taken a lot of resolve to drive all the way to Bellevue, and then even further on our drive, in a car that new to the highway, AND have to get it wet for the first time too!  But it performed perfectly.  Congratulations Hamp on your workmanship.

The day was capped by a really large selection good food and a great deal of pleasant discussion.
