Presidents message, August 2104
Last month I wrote about people attending parades and then not appreciating military vehicles. This 4th of
July the South Bay group attended the Morgan Hill parade and I was reminded of how different parades can
be. We’d done the Rose, White and Blue parade in San Jose for a few years and decided to give Morgan
Hill a try again this year. WOW, the Morgan Hill parade was always a good parade but this year reminded
me about just how good a parade can be. It’s about a 4 mile square route and there are people everywhere
along the way! Thousands of people! The spirit and attitude of this parade made me remember just how
good it can feel again. We’ll probably alternate between parades in the coming years but if you want to understand what makes us as participants feel good Morgan Hill is the place to be.
A little side note, Did you know that Congress has passed a resolution naming the second Sunday in August
as “Spirit of ’45 Day”? As we approach the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II the MVCC should
swing into action and become a major presence wherever and whenever we can in these events. Every
newsletter says “SUPPORT OUT TROOPS”. Here’s a chance to say thanks once again to the brothers and
sisters, mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles who went off and did their duty to their country. Remember
them now, sadly, they’ll be gone too soon.
July is the busiest month of the year for the MVCC between parades, conventions, and the D-Day celebrations. I hope every one of you had an opportunity to get out and spread the word about the club. We do
some advertising but too often we heard that familiar, “I didn’t know anything like this existed”. All of us
need to work explaining who we are and what we do to those people. Invite them to our events and meets
but mostly let them know that there is a growing number of people who just like the vehicles and their histories. You can be a recruiter for the MVCC as well as a member. If you would like flyers or business cards
to keep with you to pass out let me or your local VP know and we’ll get them out to you.
Keep ‘em rolling

Hello out there in the OD Zone! Are you ready
for September Tower Park? September is right
around the corner and with it a lot of MV events,
the most fun and important being our very own
Camp Delta at Tower Park. We’re featuring a
Tracked Vehicle Showcase, so if you have a
tracked vehicle, now’s the time to bring it! Any
military vehicle with tracks is welcome - even
halftracks or vehicles missing one track are welcome to attend. I’ll be there with the USMC
Weasel, sporting a newly installed, original,
Weasel self-sealing fuel tank. If we get more
than one Weasel, we’re calling it the West Coast
Weasel Fest (hmmm, WCWF sounds like some
kind of world class sport…) I’m hoping to get
access to an open area next to the dry camping
area for an obstacle course, where we can show
off our vehicle’s capability and our track driving
skills (or lack of). So if you’ve got a Weasel,
even if it has to sit on a trailer, please bring it to
Tower Park.
See you there!

Hello to every one in the North Bay. I hear the 3rd
and 4th of July parades in Benicia and American
Canyon were a big success, unfortunately I was not
able to be in them this year due to a short stay in the
hospital on the 3rd and 4th. On July 5 we had an
open house on the LCS 102, Mighty midget at Mare
Island. The day started with a guided tour of the very
seldom seen back side of the Island. Four jeeps made
the tour. In attendance were John and Marilynn Neuenburg, Jim Porterfield, Scott and Wyatt Rohrs,
Lazaro Sanchez, Joseph West, Greg Lalonde, Fred
Klink, John Fornbacher, Percival “Chico” Ramirez. I
arrived later in my 41 Dodge. Sonny Hanson

August 2014
Hello from the North Bay. Well I hope everyone
enjoyed a outstanding fourth of July holiday. It was a
busy holiday weekend for us in the North Bay. It started
with the twilight parade in Benicia on the third. We had a
good turnout of vehicles and reenactors. It’s always fun
when you can make some noise with the oxygen/propane
gun. “The crowd eats it up”! The next morning the local
Napa boys participated in the Napa downtown parade, all
of us decked out in uniforms and field gear. After the
parade we moved up to the Vets Home in Yountville, and
displayed the vehicles. Mingled with Veterans and
listened to some great big band music as we waited for
the fireworks show.
The fifth of July found us on Mare Island in
Vallejo (the former Naval base). Led by Greg Lalonde
and Jim Porterfield, we took a little “behind the scenes”
convoy around the island. We enjoyed incredible views of
the bay, and had an awesome photo opportunity with our
vehicles. Fred Klink (the leader of the Naval Amphibious
Forces group) coordinated a living history and public
education event after the convoy at the LCS 102 (landing
craft support ship). This “Gun Boat” is moored at the
dock at the former naval base. The crew of the ship put on
a great lunch and let us rome freely throughout the ship.
Sonny Hanson, Jim Neuenburg, where there and had club
fliers for guests. Overall a very event filled weekend and
enjoyable time had by all.
Remember to get your reservations in for the fall
Tower Park event. The Sonoma County Air show is also
in September this year. Enjoy this great weather and this
great club.

Events of July and future activities for MVCC South S.F. Bay Area
4th of July
The MVCC participated in the 4th of July parade in downtown Morgan Hill. We had 8 vehicles that included
a maiden parade voyage for a freshly restored WW2 Jeep owned by Carl S. Weather was cool at about 90
degrees and there was a nice wind. Thanks to Jo-Ann and early registration, we had position # 95 out of about
130. There was a packed town of observers and the route weaved it way back and forth to the train station.
There was a great appreciation of our military vehicles. For the most part, the uniform of the day, Hawaiian
shirt over O.D. was followed, but there were a few die-hards.
11 & 12 July
The Littlefield Auction. The Collings Foundation sanctioned Auctions America to auctioned off the vehicles
from Jacques Littlefield's collection, that they did not need or were excess to their needs. There were 121 vehicles in the auction and 326 lots of vehicle parts and accessories. Auction America handled the auction and
promoted the fact that 100 % proceeds of the auction, will go to The Collings Foundation. There were about
300 bidders. The grand total was around $10.2 million for construction of a building to house the vehicle they
kept. It was a very sad Saturday afternoon after the auction, saying far well to all the vehicles. It was also the
last time for visiting the Pony Tracks Ranch. The auction results can be found at
http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/all-lots.cfm?SaleCode=LC14
8th through 10th August Upcoming………….
The “Spirit of ’45” event returns to San Jose on August 8 thru 10th. All MVCC members and vehicles are
invited to this “Spirit of '45” Event at History Park 1650 Senter Road, San Jose. Overnight dry tent camping
is available. The 2014 version of the “Sprit of ’45” poster highlights having a live band and swing dancing,
1940 fashion show and 1920 – 1940’s vintage cars, WW2 vehicles, WW2 military re-enactors and their tent
city, book signings and kids activities and much more. Members with military vehicles get in free, if they
drive into display area. https://www.facebook.com/BayAreaSpiritof45

Hello to all from the East Bay
Another 4th of July Parade in our city of Alameda is now past and what a Great turn out of
spectators and our own MVCCers. In a record of 170 entries we were number 94 in position and I think
the best showing of Military Vehicles.
Ed Roberts in his historically equipped 42 GPW looked great, followed by the Cooper's 44 GPW, George
and Cathleen, he was in Army Air Core class A's and Cathleen in a 40's dress and bonnet, who by the way
were pictured on page 5 of the San Leandro Times news paper under "Everybody has a blast at the 4th of
July Parade"
Next came John and Marilynn Neuenburg in their recently reconfigured British Desert Group 42 GPW
and both of them looking like they just came off a movie set . 4 Vickers's machine guns.
After that, driving her Chevrolet Military Blazer was Terri Karvonan with guests Liz and Gerry as side
kicks
Right behind was Kevin Karvonan in his Military Police 44 GPW, with Robert and Scott as troops.
Well that adds up to 4 GPW's. I guess It's time. My 1945 MB was also in the parade towing the museum's
18 foot-long A7 Wing tank, still laying down a smoke screen.. Following were our own Bobby, our
museum desk docent and his friend Robert, in their Ford P/U towing a Civil War cannon.
This parade is 3.3 miles long, the longest in the state and our clutch legs get a work out, but every one had
a good time honoring our country and our military history. Two of our volunteers were in full military
combat gear, Carlo and Pit both carrying BAR's, walked the whole distance .
We then adjourned to the Naval Air Museum for refreshments,
I want to thank one and all for their participation and dedication in keeping the history alive for our future
generations, who were a large part of the viewing public.
That's all for now, Over and out, The 40's. Larry

When this report is due for publication in the next Newsletter; I will be with 12 other members of our club
at the War & Peace Show in Great Britain. I will give a full report with photos when we get back.
We had another successful 4th Parade in Monterey, although I had four vehicles signed up, we had one no
show. It always amazes me how the announcers can’t seem to get it right as we parade in front of the
review stand. “We know have four vehicles from the MVCC” and there are only three of us! Oh well,
guess they can’t count, or change their script on the fly.
We had Marc leading; as his vehicle is older than mine, I followed him, and since Damon’s truck is so
much larger than us he pulled up the rear, I think he is used to that and doesn’t seem to mind.
My jeep ran well; for a change, as it should. As most of you know I have no mechanical skills and had it
in the shop, got new shocks, springs, rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, & thermostat, plus the standard
lube & oil change. I still have a oil leak from one of the seals but we are saving that for “next time”.
There are a couple of photos that I took before the parade somewhere else in the newsletter and maybe
some from Marc if he submits them. More about the W & P Show next month.

2016 MVPA Convention Committees
The MVCC has been awarded the 2016 MVPA Convention, it will take place August 11-13, 2016 at the
Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton Ca. This is your chance to strut your stuff in front of
enthusiasts from most states and many countries, plus people new to the organized hobby who see our
advertisements and will attend their first MV meet. At the Camp Delta meet in April we talked to members
wanting to help. It takes many volunteers to do a great Convention and the MVCC has some of the best.
We had a level-of-interest sheet for people to mark what committee categories they are interested in. Some
said, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” That’s the spirit! If you are not on our radar screens, please
respond after you read this article. We are choosing committee heads as you read this and will start
building committees soon from those on our current list. There will be some tangible benefits for those who
work on this show with us. Besides being part of the behind the scenes action with first in last out access,
there will be parking considerations and more. Committee members will share in the success of creating a
great MV event. A great way to meet people with similar interests especially for new members so come and
join us and be apart of the team and enjoy the hobby in a way you will remember for a long time to come.
Some posts don’t overlap so it is possible to be on more than one committee. If you want to get on our list
or learn more details about what committees do at the National Conventions and the perks: There will be a
meeting following the general membership meeting next month at Tower Park.
This will be an event you will not want to miss! So why not join the team and help your club put on the
largest showcase yet!

Below are a few Pictures from Roy Hamilton of his M20. He had collected all the parts back in the day
when the yards were ripe for the picking and stored them away. Then Roy restored the M20 with the best
parts available to the highest standards possible. The vehicle was sold to Jacques Littlefield and was sold at
the Auction Last Month. The pictures below given to me by Roy are of the M20 as it was after Roy
restored it not as it sat at the auction. The M20 now resides in NY.

Jacques Littlefield’s collection of Military Vehicles has been auctioned. Auctions America did a great job of it
over four days, July 9th thru the 12th. The first two days were preview days, the third day the parts were
auctioned, and on the fourth, the vehicles themselves were auctioned. The proceeds of $10.2 million will be
used to move the 80 vehicles that the Collings Foundation kept to Stow, Massachusetts, and to construct a
large building to house them. There were many MVCC members on hand to watch and bid on vehicles and
parts. I was onsite for 3 days and have put a couple pictures below. Please go to this link for the results of the
auction. http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/all-lots.cfm?SaleCode=LC14

Fall Camp delta Activities
Camp Delta at Tower Park Fall Edition 21-28 September 2014
By John Neuenburg, Camp Delta Activities Coordinator
The second largest MV swap meet and gathering in the Western U.S. is a little over a month away. Are you
ready? Have you cleaned out your shop and have treasures to sell? Do you have your want-list ready for your
upcoming winter project? Ready to relax in the sun with the pool and water features to keep the kids busy?
This Fall we are featuring a MV showcase: “Weasels and Other Tracked MVs,” scheduled at this point for
Friday morning. We have $200 from Hagerty Collector Vehicle Insurance for People’s Choice Contest prizes,
and we might find a co-sponsor to spice up the loot. Dave Porter is our POC so contact him if you can
bring a MV. His info is next to his VP mug shot. A couple of Weasel people have asked for their day in the
sun - now we hope a few show up! Dave can probably use some help rounding up the Weasels in the region
so please think about who has what and pass the word. All tracked MVs are invited and that means halftracks
too. Who brought the Kettenkrad last April? Let’s invite him. What can you bring, restored or not?
Spud guns are returning to the display field! Air powered only. Bring your own spuds. An air compressor
or two with hoses will be available, plus targets.
California Center for Military History will tentatively conduct a display at the Cooper Fall camp #296.
This is also the location for the MVCC Morning Coffee fundraiser.
Four awards will be handed out: Longest Distance Driving a MV, Longest Distance Bringing a MV, Longest Distance Travelled to the Meet, and Hard Luck Award. It is up to you to submit your name for these contests via a sign-up sheet at the MVCC info table or tell a MVCC officer. Recognition will be made at the beginning of the MVCC membership meeting around 1015 Saturday.
We will have three catered dinners - Arnold Hof’s BBQ on Thursday, Rosa’s Restaurant is doing an Olive
Drab Oktoberfest on Friday, and KOA will cook spaghetti dinner on Saturday. As usual there will be an Early
Bird Potluck Dinner on Monday, with VP Sonny Hanson as POC. For that one, bring a dish to share plus your
utensils, plate. All dinners kick off at 1800 at the Pavilion.
MVCC Membership Meeting will be at 1000 Saturday followed by a meeting of 2016 MVPA Convention
committee volunteers. if you have not raised your hand to help, please give us a call. We will announce committee heads at this meet and are planning a walk-around at Alameda County Fairgrounds this Fall.
So report to the Stockton Delta KOA, 14900 Hwy 12, west of Lodi, CA, 95242. If you have not been to a
Camp Delta meet before, some people arrive the first Sunday to set up camp and watch the build-up. It starts
to get pretty busy by Wednesday afternoon. Friday is the biggest day. The last Sunday is pull-out day. Not a
good day to show up!

Salinas Rodeo 2014... Reported By Marc Goldman. (aka Private Parts or just plain old Parts)
The gentleman on the left in the red shirt, doing security is the Mayor of Salinas,
Joe Gunter. The guy in the middle in the white shirt with his elbow on the Dodge is the past
president of the Rodeo Association. When Marc came back from raiding the hotdog stand, a
confused gentleman surrounded by security who is the spitting image (rodeo talk) of Kurt
Lesser with a cowboy hat on was sitting on his bumper waiting for him. Parts talked to him
for twenty minutes before the guy asked “who are you” ?

Display Locations at Fall and Spring Camp Delta Meets
By John Neuenburg, Camp Delta Activities Coordinator
In the Fall activities article we mentioned a MV showcase – Weasels and Other Tracked
MVs. In April 2015 we are planning two. The first will be Emergency Vehicles – Fire,
Rescue, Ambulance, MP, and Wrecker. All nationalities. Also we will have a Foreign
Military Vehicle Showcase in April. This can include U.S. vehicles with foreign markings, or
U.S. made vehicles for foreign contracts even if currently restored with U.S. markings. For
example jeeps with British, Canadian, Chinese, or Russian data plates.
For multi-day displays such as living history camps or museum info tables, we are going to
focus on the display areas by the two pools, with optional areas around the big field by the
Willow trees if these will not interfere with MV showcases. KOA may relocate the dog run
by next Spring. Last April some members set up a nice living history camp in the Dry
Camping Field beyond the Pavilion. This looked great, however for April we really need to
maximize the dry camping space there, and so that field will be set up as in prior years next
April. Campers can set up whatever displays will fit in their campsites of course, but we
really encourage folks to do displays in the high profile area by the pools and main road.
Keep in mind this area is not for “civilian style” camping even if a military display is
included. No Civvy vehicles or obvious civvy gear please. The whole thing should be a
display, meaning living history-style camping only. Militaria collections using modern
tables and tents may also qualify.
These common areas are NOT for vendors. Vendors must purchase a regular campsite,
numbered or dry.
In September we focus our meet in Campground 4 and have sites available there. Since we
have less dry camping pressure, we will designate part of the dry camping field for Civvy
vehicle parking so people don’t have to park on the levee. Drive past the Pavilion and look
for signs. Otherwise there is no parking in the campgrounds other than in your own
campsite, except for MV-only parking by the CG4 restrooms. This can include “for sale”
MVs. Please do not store trailers in the dry camping field in September. We need space for
commuters. Trailers can go on the levee in September, or the trailer parking field by the
guard shack. In April do not park trailers on the levee because we get a LOT of commuters!
I will be the coordinator for displays in the common areas for both events. If you want to get
something on the Activities Flyer that is handed out and posted at the meet, and printed in
Issue #9, give me a shout at [email protected] or 415-491-1601. In September I can
be found at space #297. Remember that Jo-Ann Lesser coordinates April camping only.
Contact Stockton Delta KOA directly for September reservations, at 800-562-0913.
