PAT MARSHAL MEMORIAL CRUISE
Pat Marshall was a good friend of many of us in and around Belleville. He was a car nut like us. He built and modified many cars and painted hundreds of them for myself and others.
Whenever a louder than normal car would drive by his house you could be sure Pat would look up and wave. A person always felt welcome to stop by Pat's and shoot the breeze. He always took time out from work to spend time with whoever stopped by. I'm sure he looks down on us from Heaven, laughs and does a burn out in his mega horsepower, pollution free ride.
The cruise starts at 5:00 PM on Saturday and line up is at 4:30 PM. The cruise is approximately 27 miles long. It travels South through a second Metropark, exits West into the open countryside, traveling many miles of scenic roads, North to the City of Belleville and back East to the starting point by 6:00 PM.
