April Meeting Info
…… Steve Hack
…. Tom James
Looks like spring has finally sprung, we are
slowly starting to see more old cars out on the
road after that white out of a winter. What
better way to start the fun car season than to
help out our Heart of Ohio friends at their April
12th Chapter Meet. Registration forms for the
Coughlin Chevrolet event are available in the
Driveline. The following weekend on the
18th lands our Ray Skillman Museum bus
trip. There are still seats available for this trip
to Indiana at the fair price of $20 per person.
Please call Wayne McKee or me to reserve a
spot.
Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2015
Many of our members will also be attending
the April 23-25 Regional in Charlotte, North
Carolina. This is a very well attended regional
with all sorts of amazing things to keep you
entertained.
Congratulations to the Queen City Chapter as
we voted to make a charitable donation to the
Hendrick's Foundation at our last meeting. If
any of our members are Vietnam Veterans,
we have been given decals for your Corvette

We did not get as many pictures from this
event as we would have liked … but it was so
interesting, we forgot.
Terry Kesselring has a very interesting
operation, it was a privilege for all of us to be
his guests for our March QCNCRS meeting.
There were four or five old Packards from the
30’s. One was in very bad shape and was
literally being brought back from the dead.
