Meeting adjourned at 1:32 pm.
Wheat State Chapter Founder Gary Crow has had a stroke and, as I understand, is now
partially paralyzed as a result. He is
in rehab at Showalter Villa in Hesston.
Gary teamed up with Jim Siemens and the late Duane Ely to call our
organizational meetings in the fall of
'03, and he was our first Vice-President.
Our current membership will
recall his red oilfield GMC (built in Bondo's shop) and, more recently,
a blue Dodge C500(??) roll-back, which was in our show a couple of years ago,
and in which I rode in a Hutch 4 July parade.
Big Dodges are relatively uncommon, the snub-nose versions more so, so
his stood out. It had swing-out
fenders, like a bubble-nose Pete.
Perhaps Todd can post photos of these.
And now I've spent half of this on Gary's trucks and they aren't the
ones in rehab. Go see Gary, soon. I think he'd enjoy a visit.
From HQ - George Petrask has
resigned as Secretary for personal reasons, but will be seated as Board Member
At Large at the fall meeting. Rick Knox will replace him as Secretary on the
Executive Committee pending board approval.
Three new
chapters have been added to the ATHS family: the Big Bull Falls Chapter in
Wisconsin, the Kettle Moraine Chapter in Illinois, and an as yet unnamed
chapter in New Hampshire.
Our 2019 Truck Show will be saturday 13 April. This is a break from tradition, which would put the show on the
saturday following tax day. As the
calendar has it, that's going to be Easter weekend next year, and we've learned
not to mess with that. So get your
taxes done early, eh?
Speaking of tradition – There
will be no December newslitter or
meeting. We've never had or
done them and we're not starting now.
I know you'll miss Wanda's brownies,
but you can always grab another helping of
Christmas goodies, and if you miss the newslitter, your egg nog's too
weak and so is your grey matter. Come
to our dinner (big print, below), and enjoy the holidays.
