From your President……..
We’ve been displaying our A’s at quite a few events
since the last newsletter. Usually between 7 and
10 Model A’s have been participating. There are
still several more displays planned for this summer.
I encourage those members who haven't attended
any outings to come on out to one of the remaining
displays or parades. It was great to see that Jim
& Judi Cook have their A running and at the
Saltdogs game. A big thank-you to Dave Allder for
arranging for the Club to attend the game and
show off our A’s.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game…..
July 8th was a good night to display our A’s at Haymarket Park and
enjoy not one, but 2 baseball games between our Saltdogs and the
Loredo Lemurs. Since the game the night before was discontinued
due to lightening and rescheduled for the following night, we were
able to see the end of that game, plus the one we were scheduled to
see. Attending the game and displaying their A’s were Dick & Jerry
Waechter, Bob & Judy Callaway, Loren & Valda Davidson, Gayle &
Nancy Hanshaw, Nick, Jenn & Alex Heetderks, Dave & Nancy Allder
and sons, Dean & Margaret Mays and Jim Cook. Yes, Jim has his A
running and drove it to the game. Hopefully this is the beginning
of many outings to come.
