HTP Members Meeting Together Pictures

Sometimes we are priviledged enough to meet up with other people at a truck show or just for coffee, who have been contributing pictures to Hank's Truck Pictures or Hank's Truck Forum over the years. And sometimes you just might get to meet a celebrity.

Just recently I was asked to place a picture of a gathering of people from Hank's Truck Forum on to my Truck Shows web page. Then I thought that I have been taking some pictures as well of meeting with people I have communicated with via email and finally met at a truck show. So here are pictures from some of those shows. My apologies for not thinking about taking a picture or getting a picture taken with some of the others I have met at the truck shows I have attended. From now on I think I will make a habit of it.

So if anyone of you out there meet up with anyone from Hank's Truck Pictures or Hank's Truck Forum, take a picture and send it to me and I will post it on this page. I think it's great when we can get together and talk face to face instead of just through emails all the time.

It was my priviledge to meet Stan Holtzman at two different truck shows.

I was priviledged to finally meet Kim Loeb from Denmark at the Duncan truck show in July 2005. Here we are posed in front of Steve Drybrough's 1972 Hayes HD.

Back in March 2006, Guildo Wolfs and his wife Monique came to Canada. Guido was thinking of looking for work driving truck in Canada, so he wanted to scoop out the situation. Guido's first stop was to come and visit us for a couple of days. We had a good time visiting and showing them around. This picture was taken at "The Overpass" where I spend many of my lunch breaks.

In November 2007 I went to Pittsburgh, PA for a work-related conference. Well planning ahead I decided to contact Paul Kane, who works in Pittsburgh, to let him know I would be there and wanted to get together. So we arranged to meet during one of his lunch breaks. We walked around Pittsburgh and Paul showed me many of his locations where he would shoot truck pictures on his lunch break.

It was a day or so later that Paul told me that he had been in contact with Doug McKenzie and was hoping that Doug would be driving through Pennsylvania or Ohio on Saturday of the week I was there. Saturday happened to be a free day for me. As it turned out Doug would be driving north on his way back to Canada. So Paul arranged with Doug to meet us at a McDonald's restaurant at Mercer, Pennsylvania.
