Memorial Drive from FL for JeremySmith1967

Friday, March 6th, 2009

I want to make an announcement for kpeng. He is organizing a memorial drive for our lost friend Jeremy Smith. Jeremy has long been an active member of the BMW community, and he was taken from this world last year in a drunk driving accident. Here are the details from Ken.

Please See Kpeng’s thread for announcements.

As you guys know, last June, we lost a very dear friend to us and a fellow fanatic. Jeremy Smith (jeremysmith1967) was 20 when he passed away in an auto accident. He was a part of our BMW group here in Gainesville known as Leistung, and was a brother to all of us. 4ngiefest began 2 years ago, and Jeremy made the trip with us each time. We all had a blast as you guys have seen in the videos I’ve shot. This will be our first year making the trip without our good friend.

I’d like to invite all of you to join us in making a safe trip up to Atlanta this year. It would mean the world to both our group and Jeremy’s parents (who will most likely be present for the starting point). And I think Jeremy would be pleased to see a giant group of Bimmers cruising up there together.

  • WHEN: Friday, April 3rd, 2009
  • TIME: 3 PM
  • WHERE: Oaks Mall Southside Parking Lot

I would like for all of us to meet at 3 PM SHARP at the Oaks Mall parking lot (south end). From there, we will meet, chat, making final preps, and I will say a few words. Hopefully Jeremy’s parents will be present and everyone can meet them. At around 4 PM, if everyone is ready, we will hit the road and make a safe 320 mile trip to Atlanta.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS THERE.

NOTE: Leistung members; hotel arrangements will be made for us. Check our website http://www.leistungmotorwerkes.com for that information. For everyone else, I will post where we are staying ASAP…but hotel arrangements will be strictly up to you.
