A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
A Message From Your President:
Another successful Swap Meet is behind us. Mike Haas and his team deserve a huge
round of applause. Special thanks go out to those who helped in every way they could. Without the help of the many
volunteers required, we would not have the well attended and well run Swap Meet we have. I would also like to offer
a special thanks to Billy & Sherry for opening up their home away from to us as a place to get away, get a cup of coffee and just relax. We received many comments on how friendly our Swap Meet is. We really have something to be
proud of.
Remember our weekly gatherings at Kirby’s in Seguin and Freddy’s in New Braunfels. There has been a very
good turn out at Freddy’s and we are very welcome there. If you haven’t made it to Freddy’s yet, make a point to do
so soon. Bring a good chair and enjoy a pleasant evening while we still have them.
Once again we had a good turnout for the breakfast at Schobels this month. You can choose from the menu or
the buffet for your meal. Prices were reasonable. The next breakfast will again be at Schobels, Saturday, May 14th @
8:30 am.
The Wheels Around the Square car show is just days away. This is one of our personal favorite car shows!
Plan on attending to support the Seguin Activity youth center. Don’t forget the Poker Run on Friday May 6th. Sign up
is the showroom of Seguin Chevrolet at 6:00 pm.
Remember our monthly meeting, Sunday May 1st at the New Braunfels airport at 2:00pm.
SEE YA DOWN THE ROAD!
STEVE HAIR
P.S. My two cents worth: In talking with a daughter-in-law this week, she mentioned Mother’s Day. I told her I am so
busy with Swap Meets, car shows and car club meals, I had forgotten to plan for that day. Thank goodness, she hadn’t. Don’t forget your loved ones in the midst of our business in the next few weeks.

Minutes for NBACC Meeting April 3rd, 2011
The meeting was called to order by President Steve Hair. Attendance included 51 members and
guests Stanley and Carol Martin.
A motion to accept the March minutes was made by Sherry Dawson, and seconded by Ken Voss.
Minutes were accepted.
Lucy Mortensen gave the treasurer’s report. A motion that the treasurer’s report be accepted
was made by Jan Stull and seconded by Ken Voss. The report was filed.
Gene Rogers entertained the membership with his auto trivia.
Jan Stull, Care Committee Chairman, reported that Clarence Moore was in a rehab facility, but is
scheduled to go home on Tuesday. Louise Calvert reported that Curtis had passed and Virginia
has asked that some of the membership’s old cars be part of the funeral celebration. More information will be coming as arrangements are made. Louise also reported that Linton Lipscomb is
not doing well.
Mike Haas reported on swap meet progress, saying that 1041 spaces had been sold and only 19
car corral spaces were left. He reported that all arrangements are going well, and that layout is
scheduled for next Saturday after breakfast at Schoebels. Members were reminded to sign up
for a shift, and to help keep the grounds clean as the weekend progresses. Set-up day will be
Wednesday the 20th. Sherry Dawson said that she was still waiting on the shirts.
Linda Sangurima reported that she is still mailing about 42 hard copies of the newsletter. She
said that only 6 advertisers had renewed at price of $25.00 per year. She asked that the membership be looking for more sponsors.
She also reported that, after researching the issue, she found that to secure a website for the
car club/swap meet would cost about $118.00 per year and to have the site built would cost
$800.00. Beyond those initial costs, she would be able to manage it herself. A motion to go
ahead with the web site construction was made by Billy Dawson and seconded by Fred Willard.
The motion carried. Sherry Dawson moved that the cost for the website should be split evenly
between the car club and the swap meet. Chuck Ford seconded her motion and the motion carried.
In old business, Jan Stull reported that they were still seeking a suitable site for the New Braunfels group to gather on Saturday night. They have tried a number of locations, and although welcome at all, the members in attendance felt like the management at Freddy’s Custard was the
most anxious to have the old cars at their location, offering a 10% discount on purchases. Members should plan to meet on Saturday nights at Freddy’s.
Steve Hair reported that the Toyota Plant Tour was a big success. 22 members enjoyed the
cruise to the plant and found the tour to be very enlightening and interesting.
Sherry Dawson reported that Poker Run and Wheels Around the Square were coming up on May
6th and 7th respectively. Help is needed for these events. The Poker Run will begin once again at
Seguin Chevrolet and end at Kirby’s. Fliers were available.
In other business, Steve Hair announced that the Landa Park 75th Anniversary celebration was
scheduled for June 18th, and that old cars were being requested for this event. Steve also reported that movie night has been scheduled for April 30th, with “Madison” as the featured movie.
Mike Durben has arranged for a miniature golf cruise on May 14th after the monthly breakfast.
Mark Kuykendall reported on the Lone Star Roundup in Austin.
Billy Dawson motioned to adjourn and the motion was seconded by Cindy Gable. Meeting was
adjourned.

Swap meet 2011 is OVER!
NBACC pulls off another success
without a hitch
When you find that
certain part you
just gotta have,
you’ll do just
about anything to
get it! Charles
Greenlaw was
caught red handed
“borrowing” mon(
ey from his wife’s
Jan Stull and Faye Kuykendall man the
purse.
Hospitality booth sporting the latest
fashion in hat styles. Many other volun(
teers sat ready to offer any assistance
needed. (PS. Best job to have at the
swap meet).
No, you’re not seeing double, just brother
(in(laws Mike Roark (left) and Brad Cole
from Deepark, TX. (Think their wives
shop at the same store?)
Yes, that is our illustrious President with
his tongue hanging out! The swap
meet wouldn’t be what it is without
the parts haulers.
Count on these folks to get you a hauler for
your parts but not if you need them to call 911.
They even missed the fifty yard dash their
Kickin’ Tires editor made in record time to get
to the patron in need!

Enough playing around Sherry…
There’s smoozin’ and haulin’ to do.
For $7,000 this magenta land parasail
mobile could have been yours.
NBACC Swap meet offers all types of
modes of transportation for all shapes
and sizes.
Hands down
the weirdest
item for sale
this year.
(pic. rt)
The few volunteers not too exhausted to sit for a
bite on Saturday evening enjoyed Bar B Que pro(
vided by Granzins
Market. So many pic(
tures are missing of
all the other hard
working individuals.
They never stopped
long enough to get
their picture taken.
This is such a great
event that brings people together to share in the
joy of hard work. Kudos to all involved.
“Billy wait! Come back with the RV!
You forgot your wife!”

In Memory of
Curtis Blackwell
How many of us Car Lovers could
even imagine that we would be
carried to our final resting place
in a vintage hearse----one we had
bought and beautifully restored?
That was the case on Thursday,
April 7, at the funeral of one of
our earliest NBACC members, Curtis Blackwell. Curtis had a stroke a year or
so ago and had not been able to participate in our activities although he and
his wife Virginia used to be very much a
part of what the car club did for fun and
work. They especially enjoyed driving
and showing one of the two 1957 Fords
Curtis restored. Awhile back, Curtis fell
in love with a most unusual vehicle, a
1946 Cadillac Superior hearse which just
happened to be in need of EVERYTHING.
A very capable and talented man, Curtis and others he supervised after his stroke, painstakingly restored the
hearse to immaculate condition. How remarkable that he was able to take his first ride in the
finished hearse just a few days before he died!
How meaningful for everyone present that it was
used to transport
Curtis' body to
Guadalupe Valley Memorial Park. Following
the hearse in the funeral procession were five
collector cars driven by car club members
who went to bid Curtis Blackwell a final goodbye.
