TerMarsch 1930 Model AA Ford at Strawberry Social
We are experiencing a story book
summer, with bountiful sunshine and timely rain to keep the farm crops, lawns
and gardens flourishing.
Congratulations go out to Dub &
Frankie Juby who’s 57 Studebaker won the classic car award at Arnprior’s Robert
Simpson Park on Canada Day. While Dub was attending the car, Frankie was busy
with face painting. Congratulations to a
well deserving couple, who give from the heart!
Thank you to those who
participated in the Strawberry Social at Champlain Trail Museum. The front
cover depicts a great picture of those in attendance. A lovely acknowledgement from the Champlain
Museum is included in this issue.
On Sunday morning July 13th,
the skies opened or someone drained their cistern Up Above, but the torrents of
rain barely dampened the spirits of those stalwarts who drove to Merrickville;
Wendy & Phil and Ralph & Marilyn who met up there with Jim & Donna.
Those six members were definitely adventurous
in challenging the weatherman, but must have had a heads up on the forecast of
the warm, sunny afternoon for their return trip and another good meal at PJ’s
in Arnprior. Others of us said our
goodbyes at the funeral of Herb Sell of Rankin.
Herbie and Margaret frequently joined us on tours with their 1963
Oldsmobile and lately with the beautifully restored 1947 Monarch coupe.
We are saddened also with the
passing of our longstanding club friend Harold Elliott. Harold had driven the TerMarsch Model AA for
display once again at this year’s Strawberry Social and sat alongside the truck
in the shade and chatted with Wendy & Phil and visitors, in his friendly
outgoing manner. He was most
knowledgeable on Model As and newer old Fords.
A big thank you for all your
submissions to this month‘s Flying Quail. It’s this sort of input that works to keep
our newsletter interesting and a good record of our activities. Please continue so we can fluff up the Quail’s
feathers. Submit stories and pictures
electronically or hard copy to Wendy and Bob by the deadline two Fridays ahead
of the meeting. They’re happy to get it.
For those who had been in
attendance at our July meeting, we enjoyed another good evening with Myles and
his staff at the Kingburger Restaurant. Prior
to the meeting, there was some uncertainty if those heavy clouds would open or
not. During the last hour, the decision was made to stay put where it was warm
and dry at the Kingburger. For our 7 o’clock August 6th meeting,
we’re hoping for a nice evening for the waterfront venue. In the meantime, for those of us who enjoy
the social time and a dinner out, we’ll see you at the Kingburger at 5:30 then we
will all make our way to the waterfront for about 6:30. Until then, safe travelling and “happy trails”
to all of you.
