New
Business
Bill Sheller told us of a great event hosted
by the Walla Walla Model T
club of a car show and other doings in Waitsburg. This is a Classic Car show
and we are invited. Lois and Herb Mettler (past members of Three River's
Model T Club) are in the know about this great event.
Mary Fraser passed around a late
Christmas Newsletter from Denny and Linda Kehl. They too, are past members
of Three River's Model T Club who now live in Joseph, Oregon. They have
wonderful experiences with bears and bobcats visiting them at their remote
home. Very interesting.
Dean asked members to give us
their Garage
Reports on how and what they are doing with their T's.
All of the members told of various things that they are accomplishing with their
T's to get them up and ready for touring. When Dean asked Russ Armstrong
what he has been doing with his T, Russ replied: "I put on my hat and glasses
and get in behind the wheel of his car and bounce up and down!" We all
loved it! With that response, Sharon Peterson asked: "How many Model
T's does one person REALLY
NEED? Again, the women all loved this! Amen to
both responses!!!!!
With nothing more to come before
the members, the meeting was adjourned. Mary and Fred served delicious
pies, cookies and crisps along with tea, coffee, pop and juice. Very good
and delicious. Thank you both.
