So until we next month, keep the tank full and the rubber side down while cruising around town or to your next club event. Paul Beckley - President FROM THE EDITOR Here we are in the thick of the upcoming heat when as always the car shows and activities start coming at us at a brisk pace. We have a ton of events planned as Mary just had an activities meeting trying to fill out the summer calendar. I am going to make this message a little shorter as I have a little goodie to share at the end of it, so don't cheat and look down yet. The website, in case you have been hiding under a rock is up and running. We still have a ton of work to do but the basics are up and running and we hope that you find it to your satisfaction. If you would like to see anything special please let one of us know by phone or email [email protected] . When I was about 11 years old, I got into some serious trouble with my dad. Apparently letting your two kid brothers beat the snot out of each We are going to try once again to modify the way new and events other with me laughing like I was watching WWE, was not a good career move. Being the oldest I needed to keep the order. So, off to are sent out until we can have the website do it for us. Mary is going my room for the day, a Saturday no less. I’m supposed to be out to be sending out information 1 to 2 weeks prior to the event or car playing ball or something. show so everyone knows when and when to meet up to drive into car shows etc. together. Later that day was the start of an obsession that still goes on today. Dad came home with a plastic model kit of a Porsche 914. My first When we enter as a group we look more like a club/family instead of model car! I guess he felt bad for me and it was his way of letting me a few cars here and there. I think it looks better for the club if we can know everything was fine. all drive in together. Ten cars in a group look much more impressive than ten cars sprinkled throughout the parking lot. So we are going Fast forward many years and I have come into contact with the new to try this again for the time being and keep our fingers crossed it all Revell Snap Kit 2015 Mustang model. Yes, it’s a snap kit, but there’s works out. where the fun starts. The painting, detailing and research on the internet for reference pictures makes it a fun challenge. Now on to the special little tid bit I teased you with earlier. I am in possession of a replica World Series Ring that was won by the S.F. Giants in 1954. We are going to hold a special raffle at next months meeting just for this ring and only this ring. If you are interested in winning this(as seen below) you must either show up to the July meeting, or send someone for you to buy the special raffle tickets. I have over the years collected many...many model kits. How many? Let’s just say that if I am ever able to retire, it’s be a full time job till I die. Every once in a while I pop open the large boxes that they are in and enjoy them like Christmas morning because I’ve forgot I had a certain one. So, when my 2015 Mustang kit gets here, I’ll keep you updated in the progress. Might be a few years though.

Maybe she’s been around Jann Coppola too long. CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to the whole Metz family on the birth of daughter Armenda’s first child, Hannah, born on June 13th. CONGRATULATIONS! Allen and Anna have escaped the Fresno summer heat and are vacationing in Hawaii. Ron Deubner took three days off and took his two grandkids to Disneyland, the Science Museum, and the La Brea Tar Pits. He was a little tired when he got home. Alec Chekerdemian has been accepted at his al ma-mater, Clovis West High school as an Assistant Receivers Coach for the JV Football Program. He played Varsity his senior year at Clovis West in 2010 when they won the Valley Championship. From Joseph Colvin: Someone recently posted on one of the Mustang related pages that they saw 19 Mustangs in one day to which I responded that there are probably that many just on my route (I'm a mailman). Just out of curiosity I decided to keep track for a day and see. The Central Valley of California is definitely Mustang territory but the results surprised even me. From the time I left for work in the morning until I arrived back home that evening I counted 48 Mustangs. This is licensed, driving vehicles (no car lots, etc). Of these there were 26 just on my route. I deliver 600 houses so that almost 5%. Pretty amazing when you consider how many other vehicles people could have chosen. Most of these were late model cars with a few Fox bodies and a couple classics in the mix.
