Carousel Cruise - Greg Smith, Mike Vickers & John Woods
The trophy committee passed around the sample trophy and everybody loved it! There will be a work party scheduled to
assemble the trophies, so be ready to help out a little. PLEASE!!! The flyers are done and out! Mike found volunteers
for the different activities at the event. We are also still in need of more sponsors and venders! Quite a few of the
members stepped up to either volunteer or sponsor trophies! Thank you so much! This is the kind of involvement that
makes this club what it is! Nicely done!
Sponsors who sponsor a trophy can choose their category and present the trophy if they would like to. The club will not
be purchasing T-shirts for resale at the event, but there will be a vendor there who will be selling them. Charlie passed
around his new valve cover for the races, looks like some stiff competition! Time to tune your valve cover and kick some
butt!
SACC - Greg Smith

Old Business
Surplus 2012 Carousel Cruise t-shirts are available for $5 each. Contact Vicki Champ.
A Friendly Reminder that any member is welcome to attend officers meeting if they wish to. Cookies are a nice addition
too, but they still haven’t arrived. Perhaps we should be asking for brownies?

Luke (a local high school student) is making Key chains and selling them to raise money for the shop at his school,
sounds like a great cause for the club to support, doesn’t it?

Brookstone Care Center show on June 14, John Woods awarded trophy
for Best Paint.
Jim Palmquist Photos
I can't keep up with all the car shows going on
around Salem. To me it's mind boggling! Anchorage had a car show in April..indoors, one on June
21st, the Solstice, and the BIG show on the park
strip August 1st. This place is like heaven to a
car guy. I'm sure glad I live here now! Last Friday, I went to the Alzheimer Care Center car
show in South Salem. Free show with burgers,
dogs and chips. They had a really good singer
singing songs way older than me. John Woods
won a trophy for Best Paint. The residents , you
could tell were having a great time looking at the
cars and Harleys. It was a fun 3 hours.
Saturday I headed over to the Marion Estates car show in Sublimity. They filled their parking lot with street
rods. Another gorgeous day of cars and friends. Greg Smith was showing his new self applied paint job on his Corvette. Man, it looks like one of the best pro jobs I've seen!! Lots of work there. Some more great hot dogs and
popcorn. The bake sale was sold out in a short time.
Fathers Day was off to the Spirit Mountain Casino car show. What a crowd! They expected about 100 cars and
ended up with over 500. The Cartwrights and I got there right on time and had to park in the back 40 with the
trailer queen trailers. I found you can pick out Palmquist's Carmen Gia in a crowd of 500 with ease...:) The morning
buffet line was about a 2 hr wait and all the cafes were backed up and hour. Sure glad I took some munchies. This
will be a great one next year if they expect the crowd.
I'm going to forward all the information on upcoming car shows to Garry for the website and to Ken for the newsletter rather than duplicate it all. I'll keep scanning and posting some of the local shows with the weekly email.
Have a great Cruising month,
Ray

Run For The Wall
As many of you know, Joanne and I recently finished the Run For The
Wall and Rolling Thunder. When I decided to do this, I thought it was
probably just another motorcycle ride, only with a lot more riders.
Was I ever wrong! If you think this country is going to hell in a handbasket, I have news for you. IT IS NOT! The outpouring of community
support for our ride across the width and breath of our great nation
was awesome and riding into small towns with the population often
standing shoulder-to-shoulder waving flags and welcoming us into their
communities
brought
tears to
many an
eye. The
people of
our country truly love
it and show it in many
different ways every
day. One example was
one of the chase
trucks broke down on
the southern route
through Texas. A community, it's school, and a local Ford dealer stepped forward and offered to fix
the truck free of charge. And when it was discovered that the truck would not be
repaired for a few days, the dealer gave the driver a Ford Dually Diesel pickup
with 100 miles on it to use and simply told him to return the truck on his way back
to the west coast and pick his truck up. I am not only proud to be an American,
but I have now completed what was probably one of the most powerful events of
my life.

Summer’s Here!
A cruise is a meeting of car enthusiasts at a predetermined location, organized largely through mobile phone, word of
mouth or simply by a cruise being established enough that it becomes a regular event. Such a regular event occurs twice a
month every summer, and has for the past 12 years.
The tragic
death of Russ
and Margie
Stromeyer's
20 yr. old son
Brett was the
catalyst for
what is now
known as
Stroh's A & W
Wednesday
Nite Ctuise-in. The locals have their favorite spots under the canopy
next to one of the famous A&W menu boards, others just find a place in the parking lot. Don't come too late or you park
along the highway or in the lot across the street. You would have to ask Russ directly as to how many cars he has on any
one night. LOTS!! I know that! Just when I think I have taken
pictures of all the cars, next cruise, one I have not seen comes
rumbling up
out front.
Proceeds from
the raffle and
sale of tee
shirts (all collectors items)
go to the
Brent
Stromeyer Foundation, providing scholarships to local students. There
are other events and shows during the year for fundraising, but the
cruise-ins have taken on a life of there own. Anybody who is (or thinks
they is ) is there. A wonderful family event, a fantastic place to show-off your car, and a yummy place to eat supper and do
some "serious" looking!
So as the oldies waft out over the cars and the crowds, people milling
round and visiting, hugging each other's neck, and getting a good look at
the what "so-and-so" did on their latest project....I will walk around and
take my photos, and enjoy some of the happiest times of my life. Going
to "Stroh's" will always be among my favorite summertime memories.
Fond memories of driving my 55 Studebaker pick-up, old friends (some
now gone), cars I have "drooled over", and those warm summer nights.
Dayle Langley, WVSR Member-at-Large
Member Profile: Loran and Peggy Sue Sell
Loran Sell married Peggy Sue on October 15, 1966. How cool to actually get to marry Peggy
Sue....bet I know what song they like!
Introduced to WVSR by his good friend Don Erickson, Loran and Peggy Sue have been members for 25
years. They ride around in that sweet 1939 Buick Special 4 door.
These are some busy folks! They are both retired teachers/educators as well as Loran from construction. I don't think they were ready to slow down much however. Here are few of the things they are
involved in:
Holy Cross Lutheran Church,
Foster Parents
Night Out (bless
you!), and Bunco
night! In addition
they participate
in
Leadership Foundation AND
Friends of La Casita. I am out of
breath just
thinking about it.
They still find
time for the car
shows and our
club meetings!
Oh and, Peg is in
a
walking group! In
their own words;
" We are active senior citizens who have been together for almost 50 years. We really enjoy
our car, but find our lives so busy that it is difficult to participate in club events. We are making some
changes in our lives that will hopefully allow us to participate more in the future. "
You know I always like a little levity in my profiles, so when I asked about their most embarrassing moment this is what they said;
"Mine is too embarrassing to share, but I'll tell you one of Don's. We went to a car event in
Montana a few years back. Don drove his car pulling a little trailer, and I trailered mine behind the motorhome. Don's car didn't make it home, so he had to trailer it and drive mine the rest of the way."
I am waiting patiently for the meeting so I can find these sweet people and say hello. That is the purpose of our member profiles, to help create a club that is fun...no strangers, no one left out. So, if you
can, make your way to where they sit and shake their hand or hug their neck.....they are family now!
Upcoming profiles: Bruce Renolds, Robert and Helen Kundelius...and yours if you get one to me!

We are trying to put in an order for WVSR Club shirts, the black t-shirts with the small red street rod on the left side
with the club name below it. The same design is on the back except on a larger scale. We need a minimum of 24 shirts to
order the shirts. The cost of the shirts are $15 for ladies and men's sizes up to XL, 1XL-4XL are $17. Shirt orders need
to be prepaid before we order them. If you are interested please call Vicki Champ/503.910.5952 or email
[email protected], See Vicki at the meeting to place your order and pay. If we don't get enough orders for 24 shirts
we won't be ordering the shirts and everyone's money will be returned to them.
We also have a lot of leftover black t-shirts from the last two car shows that we are selling for $5 each. Vicki will bring
