Roy's 75th - PART TWO

I've been receiving some really great pictures of the party from friends, so I decided to put them on my blog for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for checking out the blog, I've had over 200 hits since I put up the first Roy's 75th Birthday Party blog (scroll down to the next blog post to see that one).

These first 6 were taken by Pete C. Here is Art in his "Engine Laboratory".

Carl O. mastering the Margarita.

Roy with the guys.



Terry Hegman's car.

The next photographs are courtesy of Bo Bertilsson, the famous Swedish photographer. =)

Phill Whetstone, Dave Gorges and Terry Hegman.

Roy Jr's West Coast Street Rods '32 Sedan.

Roy asked everyone to sign the inside panels of the car.

Thom Taylor, slipping into Roy's newly purchased project dragster.

Like a big kid on the bumper cars at the carnival.



Gary and Wayne (car owners) with Roy and Donnie.

Bobby and Dawna gave him a really nice plaque commemorating Roy's 75th.

Lynne brought the delicious cakes. We ate almost all of it.

Taco Chihuahua, the best Mexican catering!

Brother, Carl (Deuce Frame Company), chowing down on some good Mexican food.

Dennis Roth (Ed Roth's son, of course) trying to beg another margarita from CO.

Mix Master, CVO.

Me and Dawna, with Steve Gibbs. Bo, you caught me with my mouth full, which is most of the time.

We couldn't have ordered better weather.

It looks like Jerry Magnuson and Hardy Allen are talking some serious BS.

GreatGrandKid, Ryder's favorite toy at the shop.

Party later at Roy's, he got some killer Tequila as a gift.

Greg Peterson signing the birthday board.

Another serious conversation, Jerry K and Jerry M.

Now for the important part, lighting the candles on the cake. Me and sis-in-law Kathleen (yes there is another Kathleen Fjastad) working as a team.

Roy cutting the cake.

Gloria needed some sugar after all that dancing she did.



Larry Wagner and ?

The beautiful dragster.

What an amazing party. The food was great, and margies too, and the company couldn't be beat. If it wasn't for Roy, I might have not fallen in love with the smell of nitro.

Thanks for sharing.

We love you,

Steve, Dana, and Sophia
