Gentlemen,

7 years ago very near our current Rally 11 hotel we scattered the remains of our Moderator Emeratus Daniel Bonyhadi. Many of us who gathered to honor our good friend then are here in Austin again at R11. So tomorrow at 4:30pm we will gather in the hotel lobby and once assembled we will walk to the site of Bony's final resting place to drink a Makers Mark Manhatten toast to Dan.

If you knew Daniel, join us. If you never met him but have heard a lot about him, join us as well. Dan helped set the tone and policies that guide the Ford GT Forum to this day. He was truely one of a kind. So be there or be square.

God bless America.

Thank you Chip for arranging the tribute to take place today.

I found the collage that I had put together with my old rally photos for our trip to Fresno in 2009.

Bony, you are definitely missed.

I will see you at 4:30pm Chip.

I walked there this am today to say a few prayers for our good friend. Miss Daniel a lot. He always knew how to put a smile on your face even when having a bad day.

Rest in Peace Daniel!

Regret I was already on my way to MIA then & missed this toast to our good friend, Daniel. You're greatly missed & will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, brother.

Thanks for arranging Bony's memorial Chip. It brought back many good memories. What a beautiful spot along the river to spend time with friends.

I wish I would have had the chance to meet him. He must have been a special person.

You all are a class act to honor him the way you do. Theses days that is a rare thing.

Bony was a special guy and will always be remembered. We used to have lunch together in Fresno. He always had his phone on the table, ready to answer the call or email. Thanks Chip for honoring him.
