First Annual Dow Fall Tour Sterling Vernon September 12, 2017 For Enthusiasts, News Update, Social, The Nor'Easter Magazine, Tours What a gorgeous day to take a drive around New England, it was this past Sunday! Thirty five cars with sixty people joined us for the First Annual Charlie and Martha Dow Fall Tour. Many thanks to Gary Cooper and Tony Miniscalco for all the work they did to arrange and run this event with help from our veteran tour-meister and ramble-guru, Dennis Friedman, and the activities committee. Charlie Dow's son, Eric, and his family were kind enough to come and we presented them with a custom plaque made specially for them that will hold a photo of everyone at the event. Thanks to all who participated and thanks to our volunteers for making a very memorable event. We all look forward to continuing this wonderful tradition in Charlie's name for years to come. Attendees arrive. Here comes Ramble Master, Dennis Friedman, who is used to a large number of cars at his Rambles. When do we get this thing started? Under Bill's watchful eye, Gary explaining to the group that McQueen was cool, but the tour drivers are not McQueen. Charlie's son Eric telling the group how much his Dad loved NER and Porsche, and how he would be thrilled to know his name will forever be associated with the tour. The group posed for a shot before taking off NER only parking at Michael's Harborside The tour organizers failed to check the commuter rail schedule. Provided by Linda Montoya Mullen from Michael Kaleel's car. Where's the beef? Gary telling the group that normally the sweeper car is not the first to arrive at the destination And thanks to Anker Sonne-Berg for the photos unless otherwise noted! 3 Responses Jeff Sudman September 12, 2017 Thanks for great time! Absolute blast. Great People, Cars and lucky beautiful weather! Dan Mastro September 15, 2017 Great people, day and tour. The weather was perfect and the beauty of The North Shore was spectacular. Sue and I had a great time and plan on attending next year’s ride too. Thanks to all, Dan & Sue Mastro grc0456 September 19, 2017 Happy to hear people seemed to enjoy the tour and meal, and hopefully the rookie tour organizers didn’t muck it up too badly. It’s good that some of the vets had our backs. We were very fortunate to have gotten a picture-perfect day, and that Charlie’s family members could join us to celebrate something that he loved very much – Porsche owners and their cars. Gary
