Summer is here; we’re blessed with warm, sunny days – let’s enjoy!
We have had a few fun events already with our vehicles – the month of June has been a full schedule. Father’s Day gave us great weather. We spent ours at the cottage, with a refreshing boat cruise on “Golden Pond” followed with a BBQ. Dave brought the ’31 Model A to the lake for the first time – claiming this was his father’s day gift.
Looking ahead, we will be sure to have an action-packed summer. Check the Calendar of Events – it’s filling in nicely, following a full slate of activity in June.
The office of the President was made aware of a special lucky draw that took place in Merrickville. Out of the eight couples only one person was lucky enough to win a special draw for the coveted “I’m Air Force” T-shirt. Ron Roy was elated, we’re told, when he excitedly unwrapped the dainty pink tissue paper.
We trust that he will sport this new garment at his earliest convenience. (it might be a nice match for Bob McCauley’s chiffon green nightie from Alexandria Bay NY). (you had to be there…)
This month several of our members will be heading out of the province for summer holidays away. New Brunswick and Newfoundland will be treated to some Ottawa Valley spice and vice-versa. Have a drink for us.
We have resolved to work to keep the appearance of our newsletter The Flying Quail top notch. Typed articles are welcome – in that vein, thanks to Ralph Lemke for his contribution of early Pembroke reminiscences – nicely linked to the recent unveiling of the 1923 Bickle at Pembroke Fire Station No. 3 at Champlain Trail Museum & Pioneer Village.
Going forward, we intend to insert pertinent stories that can connect us to the glorious past in automotive terms. If you have a story to convey – please get it together and drop it off at TerMarsch’s.
Don’t’ be shy. Keep in mind that our 50th Anniversary Commemorative book is something we can all contribute to.
Dean Lapierre has let it be known that a September Island Tour will be an event that he and Anita & Lucas will pull together. Given the latest Model A on Fraser Street, Dean labels this tour as a 40 mph tour, meaning it will be at a slow pace around the Island (all paved roads).
See you on July 4th. Delores
