From the President:
Well, we're on our way to June! May was busy and Nancy and I had a lot of fun, so hope you
did too.
We had a great turnout for the Lowe's Customer Appreciation Day. The management team
really enjoy our cars. They always give us a first class treatment.
We had an outstanding club cruise to Hohenwald to visit the Mountain Mopar Museum.
1
We had many members participate in the Big Sandy car show. It's a great show and we had
many cars visit our cruise-in after they left Big Sandy.
The Benton County Veterans Memorial group's Black Out Cruise was an appropriate start to
the Memorial Day weekend. It is so heart warming to see the citizens pull over and stop to pay
respect to our vets.
We had another super Cruise In. 101 registered cars. I thought the Honor Guard from Ft.
Campbell was a nice touch for the salute to the Fallen Heroes and Ally Webb gave her
wonderful rendition of the National Anthem. What a super young lady! The Shack was busy
serving BBQ. Thanks to Don and his daughter! Please take time to eat at the Shack and let
them know you’re a Cruiser. Hope you didn't miss Terry and Christi Sayles' red, white and
blue costumes. Never seen Terry look so good. lol.
Our registration crew is doing a very good job of getting complete attendee information. Rick
and Jan are analyzing this data. We can now send specific event information to attendees, find
potential new members, and provide valuable tourism information to the Chamber and the
TRRD. We made over $600.00 at the cruise in. Most of that comes from the 50/50. We need to
thank Dan Weatherly and Rhonda Hensley! Every cruise-in they spend all of their time
raising money for the club. When you see 'em, give them a pat on the back for a job well done.
Don't forget to visit legendcruisers.com That's how you will received the newsletter. You can
check the event calendar, make a copy of the member application, get a list of our sponsors
and much more.
See you at the meeting. Be safe cruising......

Great food and music was enjoyed by all as well as the door prizes and cash giveaways.

drawing which grossed over $1300.
6. New Businessa. Bill & Nancy Ray and Rick & Jan Lambert met with the TRRD Board. Of course we had
just wrapped up an overwhelmingly successful cruise-in so as Bill presented our case for advertising
funding, etc. there were no questions from the Board. We asked for $8000 which was immediately
approved.

of Allegiance at the May Cruise-In. They are Mr. Ralph Rogers and Mr. Faye Cain.
c. Our road trip to Hohenwald, TN to visit the Mopar Mountain Museum and dine at the
Junkyard Dog Steakhouse was an awesome experience. We had 34 members and family in 15 cars
participate. Floyd Culberson and his wife, Theresa, welcomed us as family. The food at the Junk
Yard Dog Café was terrific and our visit to the Mopar Museum was quite an experience thanks to
Floyd and Theresa.
d. We cruised to Lowe’s and participated in their Customer Appreciation Day. They served
us Hamburgers and Dogs as we entertained the crowd of customers with our classic cars. We had 13
cars in the event.
e. Due to technical difficulties with several member’s internet service, the monthly newsletter
will be sent to Terry and Kristi Sayles so it can be posted on the Legend Cruisers website instead of
being e-mailed out to every member. Members will be notified when the newsletter is available.
f. The Activity Director of the Eiffel Gardens Retirement Home has asked if we can have a
few cars visit them on June 1st. She said 6 cars would be plenty for the residents to view and

Trivia...
Ford, who made the first pick-up trucks, shipped them to dealers in crates that the new
owners had to assemble using the crates as the beds of the trucks.
The new owners had to go to the dealers to get them, thus they had to "pick-up" the trucks.
And now you know the "rest of the story"

Featured Member’s Car
Bob & Karen Yakel’s
I was looking for a '64
Tempest or Chevelle when I
found this Malibu SS in
Arkansas. The paper trail
found in the glove box
showed
the
car
was
originally
delivered
in
Colorado Springs, Colorado,
and stayed in Colorado until
2012 when it was sold to a
person in Leander Texas.
Then, moved to Arkansas in
2014.
24
The car has all
original
sheet
metal with very
minor rust; not
original is the
3.55 "12" bolt
rear
axle,
Muncie
M-21
trans, the 283
motor, and the
power front disc
brakes mounted
on 2" lowering
spindles.
Modifications
made to the car
will work with
the suspension
and steering upgrades that I will need to improve handling. Also in the plans is
more cu.in. That should keep me out of the pool halls for a while!

We had another super Cruise In. 101 registered cars. The Honor Guard from Ft. Campbell
was a nice touch for the salute to the Fallen Heroes and Ally Webb gave her wonderful
rendition of the National Anthem. The Shack was busy serving BBQ. Thanks to Don and his
daughter! Please take time to eat at the Shack and let them know you’re a Cruiser. Hope you
didn't miss Terry and Christi Sayles' red, white and blue costumes.
