Our Previous Issue - Winter 2009 |

From Our
Editor...I
hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Bob and I sure did! We arrived
home from our month long cruise to the Amazon a few days before
Christmas. We had a fantastic time, everything went perfectly and the
Amazon River is truly amazing - every port was unique and fascinating.
But now it’s time to get the winter issue of the magazine out into your
hands!
Thank you for
being patient with me while Bob and I went south of the equator. We have
many interesting stories in this issue from 17 contributors. Thank
you to all who have responded to the Metro Retro photos – it’s great to
hear from you, I have enjoyed and learned much from your memories and
historical facts. In this issue we have covered the CLC Grand National
along with an account of how the GN poster was created by our own Dan
Reed. Cheryl Eggert writes about the fantastic time she and
Charlie had when they brought their 1931 Cadillac 16 Convertible Coupe
to the Pebble Beach Concours and Bayard Badaenhausen continues with
his fascinating biography of his life’s passion for Classic Cars. It is
my privilege to be able to print his memories for everyone to enjoy. The
Radnor Hunt Concours , the new Monmouth Concours and the Fairfield
Concours are all covered and Carol Kidd gives us a glimpse of her
adventures on the European CARavan last spring. Chris Wantuck has
provided another interesting tech article on reproducing small parts and I
have new photos for you to identify in the Metro Retro section. Metro’s
Annual Meeting is covered where we encouraged all to attend
our Grand Classic in April.
I have provided a registration form for your convenience, along with some
background about our Friday evening event, which sounds super! Please
check out our ads in the back of the magazine and support our donors when
possible – thanks! And don’t forget to check the calendar on the last
page to plan your upcoming events. I hope you enjoy this issue – it has
been great fun hearing from you all.
May the New Year
bring you much happiness. Remember – once we get through January, the
days start getting longer, the sun a little brighter and spring is nearly
around the corner. Have fun in the snow! |
