PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
A GREAT BIG THANKS to Bonnie
and Jan Smith, and all other mem-
bers involved, for their hard work in
pulling off our annual Club picnic. It
was nice seeing some of the mem-
bers who we don’t see at meetings.
Our fall foliage tour sounds like a
good day trip. Please make sure
you RSVP to Jan and Bonnie Smith
ASAP so they can make reserva-
tions. It may be the last time this season we are
able to get those cars out of the garage.
‘Hope to see you soon! Michael

See answer on
page 9
Q: What car company was originally known
as Swallow Sidecars (aka SS)?
FUN ON LINE: Take the 1954-1964 Dash ID Test - A game identifying cars by their dashes.
Is it too hard? Too easy? Or too much fun?

Clara & Joe Dresbach wish to thank all of the members who have sent
cards and extended personal condolences on the death of their 49 year
old son-in-law, John Keisling who passed away on August 25th unexpect-
edly. Your kindness is very much appreciated.
I want to thank everyone for their cards, phone calls & visits after my
recent fall. It is very much appreciated. My injuries are starting to heal just
fine and it will just take some time. Meanwhile, my faithful Model A is
waiting patiently to get back on the road
Dick Lowe
Thanks to those of you who purchased a raffle ticket at the NHHCC car show
in the attempt to win this year's Corvette sponsored by Holy Wisdom Parish.
This year's car was a 2012 Corvette Grande Sport Convertible which was won
by Guy Granata of Sewickley Hills, Pa. This was based on the "Pick 4" lottery
number held on September 7th. The winning number was 2873.
Thank you again for your support.
