Message from the Chairman

With winter nipping at us and most of the Corvettes put up for the winter, I’d say that we had a good year.

A very good judging school at Ray Skillman’s Museum in February. Ray has a great collection of cars. April’s judging meet at Larry Gerig’s was another opportunity to see a wonderful collection of cars and trucks. The August mini meet at Jamie Heisler’s was a treat, with a beautiful location, finishing the day out with a pontoon cruise around Hamilton Lake and dinner. September was not so kind with our road tour being rained out. The annual picnic in October at Mounds State Park is always a good time with good food and friends. In November we had a double header with our M.C.L business meeting/road tour, to see Richard Foster’s impressive collection. A week later, the Pro Team event in Napoleon, Ohio was held. The judging school and tech session highlighted AC Delco Shock Absorbers. Anyone who was there got a lot of information on shocks, the St. Louis Corvette Assembly Plant, A. O. Smith Plant in Ionia, MI and Muncie Transmissions,1 presented by 3 great guys.

Topping off 2018 with a colorful Christmas Party at Lindo Mexico, in Greenwood, who could ask for much more? Now that most of our 2019 calendar planned, it might be an even better year. Thank you to all for the help and support everyone has given me.

Message from The Editor

This has been a great year for me. I had wanted to become more involved with the Chapter and the News Letter Editor position has been a good place to start. I want to thank all who have helped me through this first year and my wife, Beckie, for all of her assistance. I also want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a great New Year. I hope to see you all soon.

Road Tour Ramblings

A beautiful Fall Indiana day in November unfolded in the usual way. First, a business meeting at MCL Cafeteria, and of course lunch. Three Corvettes attended, Cheryll Miller’s Red 1996, Rex Malott’s Red 2001, and Tim Hull’s White 2016.

The road tour began from MCL with John, Judy, Carole, and Jim leading the pack, followed by Mike Treece and Cheryll Miller, Rex Malott with Roy Richenbach riding shotgun, Tim and Beckie Hull, and finally Rick Coker occupying the caboose slot. We made our way to New Castle, dispensed with the obligatory U-turn within 30 minutes of the starting pistol. We passed at least one cemetery, were certainly within just a few miles of a Winery and an Ice Cream place.

Spotted a few renegade cows, sheep, goats, a pair of mules, and Weenie World.

Caravanning rules: Yellow light....go fast?

We were given the deluxe tour of Richard Fosters collection. Jaguar is obviously a first love, followed by Corvettes, with a sprinkling of Pontiacs, and Fords.
