Well folks, we have made it into April, and cruise in season is just around the
corner. We are moving the cruise ins this year to the parking lot at Kmart, at
305 W Economy Road, in the middle of Morristown. I really feel that this move
is necessary and hopefully will/can bring us back together and enjoy the cruise
ins as they were meant to be. I will be getting together with the planning com-
mittee soon to start planning our activities for the year. There will be at least
one per month, maybe two.
Car shows are revving up, I wasn’t able to attend the show at Witt Baptist, as I
decided it was time to start going through some things, but I did visit, and it
seemed to be a nice show. We have upcoming, the show Downtown (May 14th
)
and the FOP show (May 21st
) at Fred Miller Park. Hope to see you there.
Our club has yet again felt the pain of loss, Sharon Myers passed away after a
long and courageous battle. She will be sorely missed by the club as she was a
true asset and friend to many. I wish I could have gotten to know her more, she
was a precious lady. My thoughts are with Merle and the family as well as they
are still with Juanita. It has been a year since we lost Mary Nell (March) and
Dwayne (April), and of course, I don’t want to even think about July, as it will
be a year since we lost Butch. My love to all these families and to all that is left
with losses.
I want to start something new for the newsletter, if you have any type of an-
nouncement, whether it is wishing someone a happy birthday, congratulations
(marriage, birth, award), just anything. It doesn’t have to be you specifically, it
could be someone in your family. Now I know that there are grandkids out
there. We are a family and one I am very proud to continue to be a part of.
Much love and happiness to All!!
