Before we know it, it will be time for our convention. This will be the first EOC convention to be held in Utah, in fact, this will be the first Edsel meet, of any kind, to be held in Utah. I hope that as many of you as possible can attend. An Edsel with a unique history may be making an appearance at the meet. It is the ‘58 Bermuda that was used in "The Donna Reed Show” when it was new. Also, it appears that the Pacer convertible, which looks just like the one driven by Don Knotts in "Return to Mayberry," has recently changed hands and is now owned by an EOC member. It would be interesting if the Citation that Don Knotts drove in "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" would turn up someday. As always, give your Edsels a good going over before taking to the roads. Top off the fluid levels, and carry some spare parts with you. Left: Donna Reed with “her” Bermuda in an early episode of her TV show. Right: The Bermuda as it appears today. It is an original unrestored car. It is believed to be the same car that was on Donna Reed’s TV show. From the President’s Desk! Regards, George Volume XLIX, Issue 3 Page 3 Plans are underway to make the 48th annual EOC meet in Ogden an exciting one! Ted Downer will be bringing an original Bermuda wagon that is believed to be the actual car driven by Donna Reed on her show when the Edsel was new. The owner of the Millstream Antique Auto Museum in Willard, Utah, is looking forward to our tour to his place, which contains an original, unrestored spring green 1958 Pacer Press Car that was driven by a press agent to Colorado and Utah. It has remained in Utah since it was new and has been part of the museum since 1975. This Pacer is loaded with all the power options that were offered in 1958. Mike Cowles, who was the host of last year’s national meet in Sacramento, has designed the T-shirt for the Ogden meet this year. There is much to see in historic Ogden as the host hotel is located in a historic district. Nearby are several museums in the train depot. TRANSPORTATION SUGGESTION FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE ARRIVING VIA THE SALT LAKE AIRPORT For those of you who are flying to Utah and arriving at the Salt Lake Airport, there is an easy and inexpensive way to get to Ogden from Salt Lake City. There is a light rail that runs from the airport to downtown called “TRAX.” Board the TRAX and then get off at the fifth stop which would be the “North Temple Bridge” stop. Once you get off the light rail train on the bridge, you will see an escalator that will take you down to a lower platform where you will catch a diesel commuter train called “Frontrunner.” Take the northbound train and ride it for about 50 minutes and at the sixth stop, it will be at the Ogden station. The host hotel is about a 3/4th of a mile directly east of the train station. The website for this transportation system is rideuta.com; once you get on that site, click on “TRAX Green Line” and then “Frontrunner” to see the maps and schedules. Cover Story by David Fleischer The photo on the cover of this newsletter is from a negative I recently purchased on eBay for less than a dollar. The description on the listing said something about “Edsel,” however, with it being a negative, I could hardly make out what it was. It looked like it might be of an old city bus with an Edsel advertisement on it. When the negative arrived in the mail, I immediately took it to a place to have it developed into a picture. When I came back to pick up the picture, I could hardly believe my eyes and realized that this negative was a very unique discovery. It was also surprising that the picture was in color, as most pictures taken in the 1950s were black and white. The picture shows the back end of a city bus, wearing a 1959 Delaware commercial license plate. There was also a life-sized, hand-painted illustration of the rear of a 1959 Edsel Corsair convertible on the back of the bus. What makes this photo unusual is that the bus is wearing the tail lights from the actual car that is advertised on it. The bus was fitted with REAL 1959 Edsel tail light clusters. It appears that the tail lights from the bus were removed, and the holes were capped off, and the Edsel lights were installed with the wires from the bus connected to them, so that the brake lights and turn signals worked through the Edsel lights. It probably created an interesting 3-D effect. The name of the dealer advertised on the bus is LeBro M-E-L dealership, located in Wilmington, Delaware. LeBro was a Mercury – Lincoln dealership that took on the Edsel in the 1959 model year after the local Edsel dealer gave up its franchise.

Dave Hall Lessons Discovered Session 1 Why We Are Not Using Lessons Discovered – Thinking in System Terms When you identify a Lesson Discovered, you are calling into question the wisdom of earlier decisions made by yourself, others or your management. Most managers and organizations do not take kindly to “criticism”. How many people will admit to the details of a wrong decision?
