He also wanted to thank everyone that came and contributed by coming…especially those who came a long distance. There were FC’ers from Florida, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Roger also awarded Wayne and Sally Trent the furthest-traveler award … all the way from Hudson, Florida to the Southwest Ohio FC Gathering July 26-28.  His haul rig was a ’53 Ford Cab with a Freightliner front axle and Cummins engine. His trailer carried a pop-up camper and the FC 170 Wrecker.
