Annual Grandparents' Day Show at

680 Mountain Blvd ~ Watchung, NJ ~ (908) 754-8180

Sunday, September 12, 2004

Thanks to RRR member, Darren Muso, and the entire staff of Watchung Ridge! Their hospitality and warm welcome makes it a joy every time the RRR comes to visit!  As we have noted before, it isn’t often in our society that you run into a business that truly cares about the community in which it operates.  Watchung Ridge, and its parent company, Presbyterian Homes, has offered unparalleled hospitality since our first meet in September 2002.  We are truly grateful for all the consideration, time, and effort that you have offered our club.

The Grand Parents Day Show Field

Are we a great bunch of guys, or what?  We even let a LINCOLN on to the show field.  But we made sure the Cadillac flag was close by...

Many of the spectators had no idea of the painstaking labor and attention to detail that is required for a truly thorough restoration.  The show field was privileged to display Ralph Messina's 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, appropriately titled a "Work In Progress".  Although incomplete, it highlights the thousands of details that Ralph is attending to, to bring this car back to better-than-new condition.  It was, no doubt, an educational experience for those who took the time to look at the car and speak with Ralph.

23 beautiful cars ventured to Watchung Ridge on our gorgeous Sunday.
