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 -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 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.

Please Sign Disclaimer on Reverse Side of This Form April 27, 2013 Nor Cal Gathering/Meeting Minutes

Acting President Pat Kennedy opened the meeting at 10:25 a.m. at the home of Lyle and Vicki Burgess in Stockton, CA.

Newsletter Editor: Larry reported that he purchased a label maker that you use with a computer for the club. The label maker will be used to add labels to the awards given at judged car show events. The cost for Wilson to add labels for the Zone Show awards would cost $10 for each award, the label maker will save us in the long run.

Larry also mentioned that Jon Manji had spoken with Ken and Lori Van Gundy and they are doing well.

Public Relations: Mike Barentson reported that the Nor-Cal T-shirts are now at the printers and will be ready for the Zone Show.

Membership & Treasurer’s Report: Dan Haggerty reported that we now have 138 members, two recent renewals. He also reported our club treasury is solvent.

Webmaster: Don reported that the website is back up and running. Don reminded everyone that the Message Board is there if anyone wants to list items for sale. Larry Ewing suggested that Don send out an email to members, who receive their newsletters electronically, stating “Is your car, the car of the month?” This would remind people to look in on the website.

There was much discussion about getting more young people interested in our Olds- mobiles. Alan Marsden asked about sponsoring some kind of information about our club at the California Auto Museum. Don Sutherland asked about Roadshows that he understood that Southern California club does frequently. It was mentioned that Road Show packages are available through Steve Mestad.

New Business: Pat Kennedy announced that the Zone Director position would be open in 2014 and asked for everyone to consider taking on that commitment so that the west coast would have representation, rather than all of it coming from Arizona.

John Wallin suggested that we meet as a group at the Modesto Airport where a pancake breakfast is held every second Saturday of the month. After the breakfast he suggested we caravan to Empire to the Castle Air Museum. After discussion, John will follow up with the possibility of an October meet. Look for details in the August/September newsletter, as well as on the website.

Pat Kennedy will follow up with Steve Mestad about Roadshow packages and Dominic Spinetta about hosting the August gathering. 6 Dave Kennedy made a motion to adjourn, Don Sutherland seconded; ayes all around. Meeting adjourned at 11:25 a.m.

Submitted by: Linda Sutherland Secretary

Many members at- tended as you can see by the car turn- out. Beautiful day, cars and people!

Our gracious hosts, Vicki and Lyle Bur- gess. Thanks so much for opening your beautiful Stockton home to the Nor Cal Olds Club.

Back in March we learned that our well-seasoned Chief Judge, Ken Van Gundy needed some time away from the club. That announcement left a large void within our organization. Fortunately, Jon Manji, who worked closely with Ken during our Nationals in 2011, stepped up to fill that void.

Jon rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Jon visited Morro Bay ahead of time to assess the Inn at Morro Bay’s show field and to make sure all the ducks were in a row for a successful show. Since Southern California was hosting this year’s event, he coordinated the judging and event parking with their organizers. Jon made a few changes to our plaques, trophies and created some new tags instead of dash plaques for this event.

At the awards dinner, Jon announced every award and did an excellent presenta- tion coordinating it with Scott Graham and Grant Warner from the So Cal Club. He had special plaques made for our visitors from the Northern Lights Olds Club from Canada which he presented to their chapter president Ken Pilidis along with a Nor Cal t-shirt for everyone as a token of our hospitality.

Hats off to Jon for his passionate and well-organized leadership to make this Zone Show a success. Linda Sutherland

Notes from Ken Pilidis to Jon Manji and Mike Izzo, June 2, 2013

Hi Mike, First chance I’ve had to email since getting back. Just want to tell you again how grateful we all are for the BBQ, the LA tour and the hospitality shown by you and Char and your club.

Obituary for an old time Nor Cal Olds member. See “1966 Toronado Continues On...” in this month’s JWO. EDWARD BOYER Edward A. Boyer Resident of Walnut Creek Ed was born in Salem, Oregon October 2,1921 while his mother was visiting relatives. He lived in Roseburg, Oregon until he graduated from Roseburg High School in 1939. Many reunions with the Class of 1939 were enjoyed over the years. He attended Oregon State University, graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 1947. He was a member of Alpha Sigma Chi fraternity. In 1947, he moved to San Francisco and then to Walnut Creek in 1954. Ed had a long career as a civilian engineer with several government agencies such as AEC in Berkeley and the Navy in San Bruno. In 1978 he moved to New Orleans where he was with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until he retired in 1982. Those years living in New Orleans were wonderful years for Ed. He moved back to Walnut Creek and has lived there since. For years he owned a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, taking it to shows and conventions around the U.S. where the car won many awards. He was active in SIRS, Walnut Creek Elks Lodge, Mended Hearts and the National Association of Retired LYNN WELFRINGER Federal Employees with whom he held many offices.
