Come on Joe !!! if anyone deserves a "Thank You" its you.
The first year Charlie and me with to Toga the Friday before we could stay at the cottages to set up the tables that were scattered all of the tent and get things organized with an extra table with a table cloth for the food and drinks etc. We stayed at a hotel on Broadway. Can't remember the name. Anyway it was a dump cost us $150.00 a night plus tax. we stood in line at a restaurant on Broadway the next morning and paid $8.00 for Scramble eggs and toast. Then you told us where you were staying.Island View Motel, A twenty minute drive to the track. on route 9. Run by a family for years. nice clean rooms, nice shower and plenty of towels. $85.00 dollars a night. No phones,today we all have cellphones. The next morning you took us to a great dinner. What a great breakfast,this dinner even made oatmeal fresh every morning.The only thing that was cheap,was the price and we were stuffed until dinner. You and your lovely Lady took us to Waterwheel for dinner near our motel. Later that night we took a walk down the road from the motel to a great ice cream shop for a cone of delightful homemade ice cream. Our cost for 3 nights 1/3ND of what we paid to stay on Broadway.
Thank you Joe. Joe prunes, A great guy.
