Homecoming 2021 - Together Again

Early Birds

Early Birds - The early birds get earlier every year it seems. Not sure when the first members pulled in but we pulled in Saturday the 3rd and it seemed as busy as Tuesday in 2019. I heard estimates of over 20 cars already at the fairgrounds.

This smiling young man is from down by Cincinnati Ohio, home base for Powel Crosley. His parents named him Crosley and at the age of 7 decided it was time to come to the Nationals.

Every time I saw young Crosley he was smiling, probably from seeing his name everywhere he looked.
