RICHARD SILLS Vince Taliano Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle August 2016 IN MEMORIAM: DIANE RUBY With great sadness we are announcing the passing of Diane Ruby. Along with the late Henry Ruby, Diane served as the Region’s Car Show Coordinator for many years. In addition to their roles and responsibilities with the car shows, Diane & Henry were fixtures at club meetings and club events, as well as other local car shows. They attended CLC Grand Nationals in Detroit, Savannah, GA and Cherry Hill, NJ where they volunteered to help with registration, parking or some other activity. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace Diane with your beloved Henry! My stepmother Diane Ruby passed away after battling pancreatic cancer the last several months. She and my father were very active in the club for many years until his passing. Please keep our family in your prayers. Dan & JoJo Ruby Along with Henry, Diane was one of the first folks we got to know in the club. We're very sorry to hear of her passing. Chuck & Debbie Piel Diane Ruby at the 2007 Legacy of LaSalle Car Show We will always remember our Diane, bejeweled in Cadillac crests and wreaths all thanks to Henry. Jack McClow Diane was always there for the Potomac Region. Sweet and thoughtful, she will be missed. Mark Brodsky It is sad to hear of Diane's passing. She and Henry were always there and responsible for things getting done. Harry Scott I can vividly remember Henry & Diane volunteering to work at each Grand National, just for the good of the Club. May she rest in peace. Richard Sills I would often unexpectedly run into Diane & Henry at car events, which always made the event a better one for me. Diane & Henry Ruby Franklin Gage Rest in Peace Diane was a very good friend to all of us. She will be greatly missed.

I want to paint it a medium color of blue and would like to use a color original to the '33-'35 era. I found a picture of a '33 cabriolet on the Internet that I like, but have no way of determining the name of the color I see. I'm attaching a copy of the picture in hopes you or one of the club members recognizes this color and can help me with the name and current day paint code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. Regards, Reggie Black Mooresville, North Carolina [email protected] 704-562-4665 [Editor’s Note: Please contact Reggie directly if you can identify the color.
