The event was held at the Francis Tuttle Technolo- gy Center. “I attended the event representing both Weldon Parts, Inc. and HDA/TP as sponsoring companies. I presented the winners with a HDA/TP bag and their winning plaques. All of the techni- cians received a HDA/TP bag thanks to Mark Willis of HDA/TP because of his involvement with the Amer- ican Trucking Association on a national level. I was told that this was the big- gest and best competition ever held in Oklaho- ma. Bonne Karim was the primary contact responsi- ble for organizing the event and she did a remarkable job. They had 20 test sta- tions for the Techs to demonstrate their knowledge. Each of the test stations had a given time for each tech to com- plete the challenges pre- sented to them. The group was made up of 12 working technicians employed with various companies and 12 students representing vari- ous tech schools all within the state of Oklahoma. To my knowledge every em- ployed technician had a management person there to show support for them and the event. It was obvi- ous they had hopes to see firsthand the up and com- ing technicians for future employment (the next gen- HDATruck Pride's annual members meeting took place April 23-26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

- 5. “We had 64customers at the North Bend open house on June 16, 2014. The number was down from what I thought we would have. The big reason I feel is that Pilger Nebraska which is 40 miles northwest of us had a massive double tornado go through and 3/4 of their town was demolished. We did not have anyone here that was farther than 10 miles north attend. We have many customers in that area and I am sure that on this stormy night they stayed home. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the tornado victims as their lives in one short moment changed and had no home to go back to. It was a terrible thing to have happened. Only 2 lives were taken, luckily!”—Steve Settles, NBN mgr. North Bend Open House “We had 83 attend the open house in Grand Island, Ne. The food was great as always. The vendors were there and we had good feedback from everybody. The weather was good, not too warm, and no storms present.”— Jim Penwell, GRI mgr. Grand Island Open House 5
- 6. “Norfolk had theiropen house on June 18, 2014. It got a little warm that day, otherwise the weather was good. The turn out was not. We had 27 people attend. A few days ago the town of Pilger which is about 20 miles from here got their town 75% wiped out. The day of the open house they had over 2000 volunteers for cleanup. We have also been without a salesman for a month or so. I think between the 2 things going on it was a low turnout and I was dis- appointed. The vendors and customers all enjoyed themselves. Thanks for all that came up and helped out. Thanks to Bryan for the great meal. That night we also had a TT/AC class. We only had 6 and I had 8 cancel because of the tornado. Richard had a lot of questions. Everyone enjoyed the class. We will do it again next year and hope for better re- sults!” —Mark Hunke, Nfk mgr.

They had a whole hog and goat on the smoker and a lot of good food to go along with it.We all were setting around an old camp fire. Everyone was talking about this and that. All the time I was thinking about how we all got there in cars and trucks. Then I looked at the people talking on their cell phone. Some of the people were looking at their watch to check the time. Then I looked at something and it came to my mind at one time this was the most important thing in the world. it’s only one word THE FIRE written by Clifton McAdoo November 11th, 2010 CLOUDS CAME OVER WELDON PARTS IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS ON THE 5TH OF JUNE.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me. Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available." George said, "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot them." and he hung up. Within five minutes, Six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambu- lance showed up at the Hewitson`s' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!" (True Story) I LOVE IT!
