I was sick in the hospital, but Dan Haggerty and all the board members stepped up to the plate and took over and the show was a great success. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I hear that Jon Manji did a bang up job with the judging, thank you Jon. Attendance was down this year, but we are looking at various sites for next years show, because the cost of the hotel has gotten very expensive and I think that resulted in lower attendance. Micke Grove is coming up in September and I hope we have a good turnout for that show. I am doing much better and hope to see you all at Micke Grove. Best Regards Pat Kennedy Editor’s Note This issue has coverage of our annual zone show which was a fun event. See page 8 for the beginning. Also leading up to the zone show we had a Olds Gathering/Meeting in Stockton on April 27th at the Burgess home. See page 6. Thanks to Don Sutherland and others for supplying some good photos for use in the Oldsletter. In this issue is the flyer for our annual show at Micke Grove in Lodi scheduled for Sept 8th. This is always fun with BBQ, cars and friends. Make sure you get the form in on time! July 28th is the Don Frolich Memorial Portal Park BBQ in Cupertino, CA. This is a Cadillac-LaSalle Club event and we are welcome. See page 16 for the flyer. If you decide to go, contact me, Larry Ewing, and we can park all the Oldsmobiles together on the lawn. This is a great show! John Wallin has done the legwork on another event to be held October 12 in Modesto. Check out the info on page 17. Sound like a lot of fun too! On another note: In my latest issue of Hemmings Muscle Machine one or our 2011 National entries is fea- tured. Lee Pearl’s ‘70 442 convert- ible won Best of Class at our event. Both Hemmings Muscle Machine and Classic Car constantly have ar- ticles on Oldsmobiles which is great and the same time very unusual. Not that these cars don’t deserve atten- tion it’s just seems that most of the automotive press has been weak on these car in the recent past. Editor, Larry Ewing Cover: Tom Miller’s recently restored 1947 68 series convertible which took Best of Show award at the Zone show in May at Morro Bay.
