I’ve been part of it’s life since I was 13, and was traded for a 1935 Ford phaeton. This 148” wheel- base beast is a locomotive to drive. I enjoyed it through my teen years and college. We used the car in our wedding and it served as a playpen at car shows when the boys were little. It has a number of battle scars but I don’t plan to repaint it. I’d left the car behind in NY when we moved to VA. The sale of a family farm, (Hopkins Dairy,) this past fall caused me to get it down Marybeth and Andy Fuhrman’s here.

The meet location – Wyndham grounds: Located east of Gettysburg, just off Routes 15 and 30, the Wyndham is 10 minutes from Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg Battlefield Museum. Downtown Gettysburg is three miles away. Harrisburg International Airport is 45 miles from the hotel, and Hagerstown Regional Airport is 41 miles away. This change comes with all sorts of challenges as we now have to secure tents, restroom facilities, food service, etc., so we are attaching a list of activities for you to do while in Gettysburg and we will NOT have any formal activities other than judging school. Our apologies for the slimming down of the show, but it is taking all our energy to make sure the Grand Nationals happens with only 30 days to go! It WILL happen, along with the Zenith Awards!

Great day! Debbie Nolen Unfortunately we had to cancel a "explore the counties" fun run on July 18th due to heat. Perhaps we'll try again in a cooler month. BIG NEWS!!! Thursday, August 6th is our first club meeting at 7:30 pm at Belmont Recreation Center. How exciting! The room will be much larger of distancing and we will not be sharing refreshments at the moment. Expect to have to wear a mask and have your temperature checked when entering the building. Sorry but it is protocol for all County facilities. I think it will be a mild inconvenience to be able to share time together and get an update on the status of Richmond Region and upcoming car activities! Looking forward to seeing you all then! Stay safe and enjoy the sun!!! Debbie ith the Picnic on July 5, the Fun Run on July 18, and our first regularly W scheduled meeting on August 6 at Belmont Recreation Center, maybe we are returning to some form of normalcy.

  • Chasing Fame from the Saddle: the Odyssey of the Overland Westerners
    1 CHASING FAME FROM THE SADDLE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE OVERLAND WESTERNERS By Samantha Szesciorka Introduction In 1915, four men arrived on horseback at the towering gates of the Panama­Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. They were dressed in their cleanest cowboy duds and had even given their horses a good bath and brushing before they arrived. The men sat tall in their saddles as their horses walked through the crowded thoroughfare, a shaggy black dog trotting behind them. They had reason to promenade – they were taking the final steps of an unprecedented equestrian journey. The riders were on their last dollar, road weary, and homesick, but nonetheless optimistic. The Panama­Pacific International Exposition was to be the grand homecoming of the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves. After three years on the trail, the men had ridden more than 20,000 miles to visit every state capitol in the U.S., and they were sure that fame and fortune now awaited them. However, when they reached their destination at the Expo grounds, they were devastated to discover that acclaim is not necessarily guaranteed for great success. Overshadowed by the myriad of wonders that the Expo offered, the Overland Westerners found they could not compete. The public simply wasn’t interested in four men with nothing better to do than ride around on horses. Defeated and disillusioned, the men returned home penniless. The Overland Westerners were promptly forgotten. 2 The Overland Westerners were neither the first nor the last to undertake an equestrian expedition across the United States. During the 20th century, many long riders set out to find adventure in the saddle.

These design changes are the focus of the Michiana Humane Society house tour on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The earliest home on this year’s tour is a colonial revival showpiece on Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, designed by Ahlgrim & Boonstra and originally built for Michigan City industri- alist Count Adolph Van Spanje. In 1923, he began acquiring property that eventually extend- ed from one street to another, a total of six or seven lots, so as to have an impressive setting with plen- ty of space for lush gardens, parking areas and driveways. Today owned by John Leinweber and Jim Laughlin, the home is entered through an elab- orate, paneled front door embellished with fan- light and sidelights.

  • Tim Goodale's Frontier Contributions to Idaho Were Quite Significant Editor
    I-OCTA Members have Membership in National OCTA. All Dues Paid OCTA, Box 1019, Independence, MO 64051-0519 XX Issue 1 January 2008 James McGill, Editor [email protected] 208 467 4853/ Cell 250 6045 _________________________________ Tim Goodale’s Frontier Contributions to Idaho were Quite Significant Editor The many contributions that Timothy Goodale made to growth in the West, and to the early supports for human livelihood and provisions were important then and now. When he led his wagon train from an area near Boulder, Colorado, and across Wyoming, Idaho and Eastern Oregon, his main intent was just to get certain emigrants to the destinations they had chosen. Published reports of this accomplishment have indicated that he led the train beginning from the area of Fort Hall on the Snake River in Idaho, but that has now been proven as a short- changing of the final big project in his life. He had started with only a few miners’ wagons, increased to a very large train as others joined him, and decreased by half when many chose to go northerly to Montana. Then 14 miles west of Arco, Idaho, before beginning to follow the treacherous volcanic fields along the southern end of the Pioneer Mountains, grew again to the largest train ever to cross Idaho. In the Boise Valley the train then again divided back down to the component trains that had joined him about 200 miles earlier. He finished into Oregon with about 70 wagons. Another development greatly aided his trail contributions.

My Experience with Credit (1) The summer I turned fourteen, I wanted to buy a new skateboard, but instead of saving the money I earned doing chores for neighbors, I spent it playing arcade games and buying movies and CDs. (2) I asked my parents to loan me the skateboard money. (3) I said I would pay them back later, but my dad told me no. (4) He said he was sorry, but I appeared to be a bad credit risk. (5) Then he started teaching me how to establish good credit. (6), Now at seventeen, I’m proud to say that I have a good credit score in my own name. (7) All young people can and should start building their credit early. (8) The first step in developing my credit was to earn money and open a savings account at my local bank.

  • Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway Power Point
    NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY America’s Main Street 1 NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY The Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway is one of the nine designated Byways in Nebraska. By state statute, it is Highway 30 across Nebraska. 2 HISTORIC LINCOLN HIGHWAY The official Lincoln Highway route through Nebraska is comprised of the original 1913 route and many later realignments. The historic Lincoln Highway through Nebraska traverses nearly 450 miles, including the 1913 route a major realignment in 1928‐30, as bridges and better roads made a straighter (and shorter) road possible. Since 1928, many sections of US 30 have been re‐aligned with new bypasses. Nationally, today’s US 30 aligns with less than 25% of the original 1913‐28 Lincoln Highway routes. However, through Nebraska, much of the route remains unchanged, and much of the original route is drivable. 3 CARL G. FISHER Carl G. Fisher, shown here as a young man, was an early automobile enthusiast, and the builder of the Indianapolis Speedway. He began actively promoting his dream, a transcontinental highway, in 1912. By July, 1913, Fisher and his associates settled on the name, “Lincoln Highway”. On July 1, 1913, the same day the Lincoln Highway Association was established at its headquarters in Detroit, the “Trail-Blazer” tour set out on a 34 day trek to San Francisco. The Lincoln Highway was inspired by the Good Roads Movement, which was begun in the 1880’s by bicycle enthusiasts. At the turn of the century, automobiles were overtaking bicycles in popularity, and the Good Roads Movement turned to promoting cross country routes.

Travel is pivot point of how Americans live, being a necessity to have a feasible way of life. Without automobiles, people have a hard time getting to work, school, and family, which affects the state of living and the ability to advance in the class system to have an easier time in life. Travel is what connects people throughout the large country they live in, yet it is also the source of arguments and debates as gas prices rise and more jobs require further travel with less than substantial pay to cover the cost of that travel.
