President’s UpdateLooking Back, Looking Forward Does anyone else feel like the end of 2014 is quickly sneaking up on them? As much as I’d like to hold on, I have accepted the fact that time marches on with or without me. Perhaps it’s the changing colors of the leaves, or the brisk fall air, but I can’t help but reflect on the great work that has been completed over the past twelve months.
A year or so ago, there was no organization in the Rocky Mountain West devoted to the advancement of healthcare supply chain. A number of interested individuals started asking the audacious question, “why isn’t there a local chapter?” Upon finding no satisfactory answers, a larger group met in December of 2013 to discuss the possible formation of a local chapter of AHRMM.
I’m fairly sure that no one who participated in those early conversations expected the local chapter to have the interest and growth that it has in its first year of existence.Looking back at 2014, I can’t help to marvel at the progress that has been made. In the past year, chapter membership has grown to more than 80 people who have a passion and interest in healthcare supply chain. The chapter has partnered with many of the large hospital systems in the Salt Lake Valley to host quarterly membership meetings. Our members have had 3 chances to meet, network and learn from one another. We were able to meet colleagues from other facilities and companies that we’d never otherwise get a chance to meet. The chapter has formal bylaws, an elected leadership, formal affiliation with the national AHRMM organization, a bank account, and received formal tax exempt status. That’s quite a list of accomplishments, none of which would have been achievable without the support of numerous individuals who have driven the organization forward. A personal and collective thanks go out to each of you.
As we look back on the great accomplishments of the past year, we’d be amiss if we didn’t look to the next. What do we want for 2015? How can we continue to build a chapter that we can all be proud of?
Let me suggest two things that I hope we all do to make the next, and all future years, better than the last.
1. Get (more) Involved: I believe that the value of any social organization is directly correlated to the level of engagement and commitment to that organization. As each of us evaluates the level of commitment we are able to make to the advancement of our local chapter, not only will our own benefit from participating increase, but so too will the strength of the chapter. If you don’t come to meetings, come. If you come to meetings now, come and be more vocal. If you are so inclined, ask to participate in any of the various sub committees that govern the chapter.
2. Get a friend or colleague involved: While, I’m confident that more people in line at the drive-thru is not my favorite thing, more people participating in our chapter I see as nothing but positive. Encourage friends and colleagues to attend chapter meetings and get involved. Our industry is complex and constantly changing. Being able to meet and speak to many people as possible has nothing but benefit for all of us.
I’m grateful that I’ve had an opportunity to be associated with all of you during the short time our chapter has been around. I’m confident that if we try to do the items above, next year we can look back on the year and marvel at the progress that was made.

May 3rd Judging Event: 1956 Corvette After many delays due to time, life in general and innumerable other projects and commitments, Mark Pugmire’s 56 Corvette was chapter judged on Saturday, May 3rd in Mark’s garage in Kaysville, UT. This was a 4 year restoration process from the body off the chassis as Mark took over a project started in SLC many years ago. It is believed to be a local Utah car that has sat for many years in a state of disassembled suspended animation. The car was well known in the collector car hobby as it sat on a gentleman’s property near downtown SLC in full view of the public. A large dog was eventually tied to the car to discourage would be parts-thieves from helping themselves. What Mark took on was a project that had been completely disassembled and the paint removed. The various areas of body damage on all four corners of the car and especially in front were amazingly transparent without the paint to disguise them. There was only a small remnant of wiring present and the chassis had been untouched for decades with the exception of the trailer hitch that had been added. This car was literally a “basket-case” due to its various parts and pieces being held in boxes and bags in and amongst the leaves and other yard debris that had collected in the car over the years.

I bought my ’66 427/390 Corvette roadster in October 1965 (VIN 1557). I had just entered graduate school at University of Tennessee. I was getting a small stipend. I had driven a 1963 Corvette once briefly while I was in undergraduate school at Penn State. The next Corvette I would drive is the one I drove off the show room floor in Maryville, TN. As most kids growing up in the ’50’s and ‘60’s - I thought the Corvette was cool. I discovered that I could trade my ’61 Falcon Futura on a car – just about any car - and borrow most of the purchase price. I thought about a several cars, all less expensive than the Corvette, but decided to buy a Corvette. If I had ordered one, it probably would not have had the expensive 427 option -$181.20. However, the ‘PB AM/FM RADIO’ which I did get was even more - $199.10. Total sticker price of the Corvette was $4840. After I bought it, I joined the Knoxville Corvette Club. I had the newest Corvette in the club. And, as my dad told me, it had good pick up. He was correct, as it led to a blind date with a girl who had purchased a new car in January of 1966 that was pretty darn cool – a British racing green Austin Healey 3000. We married in 1969. I recently discovered that both the Corvette and the Healey were born the third week in September 1965. The Corvette was a daily driver for 20 years and has 230,000 miles on it. The Healey has less than 100,000. The Healey had fairly extensive restoration done on it many years ago (Steel body cars do have a rust problem.) My wife recently had her car in the La Jolla concourse and it scored 77, and it is a driver. It surely is amazing that we BOTH have still our cars, and BOTH cars look the same or better than they did in 1965, however - we look different. The Corvette had been in San Diego county since 1974, until last August when I drove it to Laguna Seca to attend the historic car races, where Corvette was the featured marquee. I then had Reliable Transport ship it to Cottonwood Heights. I joined NCRS last fall. I have had done some restoration on the engine compartment and wheel wells since then, otherwise its current condition is just due to 48 years of maintenance and TLC. I have been attended a few car shows and enjoyed driving it on the rural roads here in Utah. Calvin Burgart
