We had decided earlier SMOKE SIGNALS Page 2 ghgh News & Events ghgh In Memoriam of Allan Vogelson article by Diana Antinucci We are sad to report the passing of one of Ankokas’s past presidents, Allan Vogelson. Allan Vogelson was born in Philadelphia to Meyer, a women’s shoe salesman, and Cecelia, a homemaker, Vogelson. He grew up poor in a housing project in Camden, earning money by working as a shoe-shine boy. He graduated from Camden High School in 1957, worked his way through college by working in a Camden shoe store, earning his bachelor’s from Temple in 1961 and his law degree from Rutgers Law in Camden. He was in private practice in Camden and Haddonfield from 1965 to 1991, then served as Presiding Judge for the Camden County Superior Court for more than twelve years and was the Presiding Judge of Camden County Superior Court’s Civil Division for eight years. Allan also served his community by serving on the boards of Cooper University Hospital, Camden County College and the Boys and Girls Club of Camden County. He was elected as Camden County Freeholder in 1971, serving until 1975, and was freehold director from 1973-1975. The Voorhees branch of the Camden County Library bears his name in Allan Vogelson at the Ankokas Haddonfield car show in 2016. Photo by D. Antinucci tribute to his contribution. He was elected as President of the Ankokas Region of the AACA three times in 1988, 2002 and 2013 and was the winner of that club’s Hankins Award in 1991 and 2010. He met his wife, Sandee, when he represented her in a divorce. Eventually, they visited all fifty states together. Sandee, a public relations executive, died in 2015. He is survived by three daughters (Susan, Sharyn and Sherry), eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He died on Monday, July 30, 2018 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 79. Contributions in his honor can be made to the Cooper Foundation, 3 Cooper Plaza, Suite 500, Camden, NJ 08103.

    STATE OF MISSOURI ) ) s s COUNTY OF JACKSON ) AFFIDAVIT I, Jeffrey Weiland, a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), being duly sworn, state the following is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief: 1. I am a Special Agent with the FBI and have been employed in such a capacity since September 2007.

  • Monthly Newsletter of the St Louis Chapter Buick Club of America Volume XXXVIII No
    Monthly Newsletter of the St Louis Chapter Buick Club of America Volume XXXVIII No. 6 June 2019 Dedicated to the memory of Jeff Watkins Director’s Letter June, 2019 Greetings, Well folks, we start this month off with the passing of one of our founders and charter mem- bers, Jeff Watkins. Not only was Jeff a “Buick guy” but he was a true to the heart “car guy”. As a chartered member, he had a special love for the club and became a self-appointed histo- rian and an excellent resource for all things past. Jeff was also a collector of Buick and auto- motive literature. One of the things I will miss most about Jeff; every time he heard I ac- quired a new Buick, he would come to the next meeting with a sales brochure or some type of literature he had related to the car. And after each review, I would ask him if I could pur- chase it, and the answer was always the same, “NO”. Not too much is known about Jeff’s passing, but the family is planning a memorial in the near future and the club will be invited to share in his memory. Last year we honored Jeff with an Honorary Lifetime Membership for his forty years of ser- vice with the club. So for this month we dedicate our Gazette and member profile to Jeff Watkins. 1 On a happier note, “Thank You” to everyone who attended the car show and lunch at Laura Buick GMC in Collinsville, IL. I know many of you were traveling and had other commitments but we still had a good showing for the event.

  • Safety Evaluation of Lane Change Collision Avoidance Systems Using
    SAFETY EVALUATION OF LANE CHANGE in progress and is planned to be completed in mid COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS USING 2005. THE NATIONAL ADVANCED DRIVING SIMULATOR INTRODUCTION Lane change collision avoidance systems (CAS) are designed to prevent crashes in lane change maneuvers by alerting the driver to hazards in the Alrik L. Svenson adjacent lanes of traffic. From previous studies, it National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been determined that many crashes during a lane Valerie J. Gawron change occur when drivers are unaware of hazards around their vehicle. A CAS can detect surrounding General Dynamics vehicles that are in zones on the sides and behind the Timothy Brown vehicle and notify the driver through the use of a National Advanced Driving Simulator warning signal such as an auditory message or a United States of America visual symbol in the side or rear view mirrors. Lane change crashes account for approximately 5 percent Paper number 05-0249 of the total of all reported crashes in the General Estimates System (GES) data. To the extent that a CAS helps drivers avoid unsafe lane changes, it has ABSTRACT the potential to reduce crashes. This paper reports on the status of the evaluation of several lane change collision avoidance systems The Space and Electronics Group of TRW has (CAS) types using the National Advanced Driving developed a CAS consisting of two detection and Simulator (NADS). The goal of this evaluation is to warning subsystems [2]. The first subsystem, a examine driver behavior with a variety of lane proximity warning subsystem, detects vehicles in a change CAS to determine what leads to the safest defined proximity zone on the side of the vehicle driver behavior, and to investigate if the use of a lane including the region referred to as the blind spot.
