Calendar 2 As we all know, Autumn is the period of the year that falls between summer and winter, but here in the U.S., we tend to prefer to call it “Fall”. Why? Well it is widely Minutes of SDC 3 believed to be because this is the time of year when the leaves begin to fall from the trees.

Raise the stone, and thou shalt find Me; cleave the wood, and I am there. From it’s introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. In mid-1962, the company dropped “Packard” from its name and reverted to its pre-1954 name, the Stude- baker Corporation. In addition to being built in Stude- baker’s South Bend, Indiana, home plant, the Lark and its descendants were also built in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada from 1959 to 1966 by Studebaker of Canada Limited. Lark-based variants represented the bulk of the range produced by Studebaker after 1958 and sold in far greater volume than the contemporary Hawk and Avanti models. Beginning with the 1963 Cruiser, the Lark name was gradually phased out of the company catalog and by early 1964, Lark-based models were being mar- keted under Commander, Daytona and Cruiser name- plates only. The Studebaker Company ceased automo- bile production in 1966. Page 4 *RECIPE FOR THE MONTH* FUNNY Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk.

Innovation Park will serve as a transitional space as researchers and entrepreneurs transform ideas into commercial applications. The City of South Bend is Ignition Park will serve as a landing space for these newly developed companies.
