Father's Day issue ~ My Dad Lorne Siegel with his soon-to-be bride Edith - circa 1930
The month of May, as usual, has been a reminder of how the
weather can change in an ‘idle moment’. At one time we are enjoying the heat of
the sunshine and the next moment we are contemplating lighting the fireplace to
stay warm. Oh well, we Canadians have
always been tolerant and flexible to change, eh?
Unfortunately Phil deGreef had a bit of a mishap last meeting
resulting in a painful broken wrist. We
wish him well to get back on the road again. On a positive note, we welcomed
Kevin O’Gorman (and Kay) back who’s
feeling better and it was nice to see some old cars out for the first driving
month meeting. Howard & Margaret Moore’s beautiful blue Chevelle hardtop, John
& Thérese
Power’s 1952 MG TD and Dean
& Anita Lapiere’s newly acquired 1947 Buick Convertible graced the parking
lot. The Buick adorns our front cover this month and inside this Quail you will
see the picture of (now) Buick aficionado Lucas proudly sitting in the front
seat of this classic. It’s a fitting addition to our “Father’s Day” issue. It’s
an invigorating time of year when we look forward to enjoying shows and tours
with these cars that seem to spend a higher proportion of time in storage.
We look forward to hearing from our members who attended the
Smiths Falls Car Show & Craft sale at the Lombardy Fairgrounds. Thanks to Terry Irish of the Rideau Lakes
ACCCC, the Committee Chairman for extending the courteous invitation to ACCP
club members.
Our next meeting, June 3rd will be held at
Pembroke waterfront. I trust that by 5:30
on that day, we can confidently determine what the weather conditions will be
for 7:00 pm. With any sign of clouds
‘rolling down the river’ we will resume at our usual spot at the Kingburger for
6:00 pm and meeting at 7:00 pm. A
reminder to all those that have treasures stored away to bring them for our
auction. Dave has a trunk full already
in the Caddy. He has been busy with
reclaiming garage space and I look forward to assisting him in unloading this
sort of stuff.
So Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads and see you all on
Wednesday, June 3rd at the waterfront, setting up on the lawn
around 6:45 for our 7:00 meeting. If
there’s any sign of rain, we will see you at the Kingburger. (Some folks will likely choose to go there
anyway for the meal ahead of the meeting) Delores
