Suddenly my February 3 father, then stationed at Camp Edwards in National Massachusetts, received orders to prepare to ship Carrot out, and all leaves were cancelled. Being a young Cake Day man in love, he went AWOL. He and my mother were married four days earlier than originally February 6 National planned and he returned to base to an angry sergeant. After hearing the explanation, the Frozen sergeant understandingly replied, ‘Okay, okay!’ Yogurt Day Then, as an afterthought: ‘But don’t let it happen February 6 again!'” — Contributed by Sandra L.

Thanks to Don Cox and February 13 Cancelled Monthly Don Eades for suggesting the idea to have as this month’s highlight Meeting article, “A Drive Down Memory Lane” adding happy memories to May 31 2021 La Palma car Show our February edition of BCOIE Newsletter. Also, thank to those & Pacific Southwest Zone who contributed pictures of their cars along with information Meet pertaining to the car and the event where the car was shown. Here is a thought, even though you felt no need to send a picture take your own personal journey into the past and remember highlights involving your Studebaker: car show, day trips, etc. Because we have on our schedule the La Palma Car Show & Pacific Southwest Zone Meet the Judges Corner article has been reposted in The February 2021 Newsletter. 13 – Eugene Jacobson 24 – Carl Thomason As we approach the date for the La Palma Car Show & Pacific Southwest Zone Meet consider sending email of reminders that would enhance the meet: i.e. Organizational ideas, raffle ideas, etc. The BCOIE Newsletters for March and April will include ideas to make the La Palma Car Show and Pacific Southwest Zone Meet a high success. One thing I have learned about our club is that excellence of all events is a high priority. With the central theme for this edition: “Driving Down Memory Lane” there are February National Days on the Colander included hopefully to add chuckles to your day. My hope is that the National Days dates and celebration for the day will bring smiles and memories of your pas which will add smiles and chuckles to our day.
