Wednesday was a day of arrival at the Double Tree Hotel in Chesterfield, MO, part of the western suburbs of St Louis.  The hotel was an excellent hub of our activities. We occupied the outside row of parking as a place to park our cars together and informally gather.  This was an interesting convention as a number of cars were trailered in from Texas, New Hampshire, California and other states..
