What is the first thing a newly-formed PCS Chapter should do?  Hold a blow-out meet, of course!  And the newly-formed Miller-Meteor Chapter did just that in June, 2004 with the "Miller-Meteor Reunion" in Piqua, Ohio.  We were blessed to have many M-M retirees in attendance as well as very special guests Marta McLaughlin and Terry Fultz,  granddaughters of A. J. Miller and great-granddaughters of co-founder Amos Miller.  What a rare treat this event was!

	Our group assembled outside of the towering A. J. Miller plant in Bellefontaine, Ohio. In answer to the inevitable question:  Yes, they moved the vehicles between the three floors with an elevator!

	In a re-creation of what the customary "delivery day" picture, Tom Caserta (left) a long-time Miller-Meteor employee, presents keys to Larri Dirks for his 1976 Miller-Meteor Cadillac Classic Limousine Duplex just outside the showroom doors of the M-M Plant.
	Tom presents Jeremy Ledford the keys to his 1977 M-M Cadillac.

	Jon Wurm and Larri Dirks traverse under the "Welcome to Piqua" railroad bridge on the way into the town were their professional cars were made.
	Chuck Kramer's perfect 1979 M-M Cadillac Landau Duplex is parked under the street sign that runs adjacent to the M-M Factory:  Main at Meteor.
