New England Trip
Planning Begins
The Nutmeg State/Constitution
State, aka Connecticut, is going to be the first New England stop for the Legends members on the club's next
great adventure. Leaving Texas on Tuesday, September
19, the Corvettes are expected to arrive in Danbury, CT
on Wednesday the 20th.
Using Danbury as our first tour base, some of the tour
options being considered include:
-West Point tour and museum
-Train trip into NYC
-FDR National Historic Site in Hyde Park, NY
-Culinary Institute of America (CIA) for dinner
-Old Rhinebeck Aerodome for an air show and
museum tour
-Lime Rock Park where the Ferrari Challenge is
scheduled that weekend
When the group got together for a planning meeting
several weeks ago they discussed trip/tour options and
the scheduling flexibility which may result in more than
one tour group on any given day.
Leaving Danbury the group will head up the coast to
the Mystic Seaport & Village.
For CLoT members who have questions or may want
to participate in the New England Trip, but were not able
to join the group planning please call Bill Tichy (972) 6508007

COOPER AEROBICS CENTER, DALLAS
Sunday, June 12, 2016
Legends originally had 32 Corvettes of all generations committed to be in
our display at the Cooper show scheduled for Sunday, June 5. The week of rain
made the park setting so soggy that the show had to be postponed a week to
June 12.
We still had 15 Legends cars show up, even though there was a slight
chance of rain on the 12th. We collected up a few non-member Corvettes that
came to the show and claimed it as one of us. It did sprinkle a tiny bit about 1
pm, but not enough to cause problems. John Spencer’s beautiful red 1954 won
second place in the American Car class.
Thanks to Tom Lainson for organizing our display with the Cooper representative and to Sandy for bringing out coffee, tea, sodas, water, donuts and
bagles.
Bringing out their Corvettes were: Bill & Diane Preston, Dan Jacobs,
Don Sebert, Greg Hurlburt, Joel Joseph, John Cantrell, John Spencer,
John Zachary, Lucky Sluder, Rick & Donna Wadley, Rocky & Chris Rainbolt, Ron & Pat Cople, Tom Hubbert, Tom & Sandy Lainson, Vince Dumas
and Yavuz Colasan. Other members seen that day were: Jack Steward,
Tom & Mary Jeanne Entrekin. Non-members who displayed their Corvettes with us were: SACC member Dale Robertson’s Red 1962, Gordon
Graves’ 1966 Silver Coupe, Corkey Helstrom’s Black 1964 Convertible
and Will Huber’s White 1993 Coupe.
Rick & Donna Wadley brought out their family’s 1959 Black/Silver 1961 while
daughter Kristina and Mary Davis were on a road trip to Wyoming.
New member, Yavez Colasan’s Signet Red 1958
