There was a good turn out p.6 Sunshine Report of cars, I believe there were 38 cars on Saturday from the Upcoming events list that we made of cars in the show. p.7 Fall Show ! If you want to come out to one of our chapter events, p.8 Picnic p.9 Membership/dues we have the Summer Picnic and the Hanover Show form scheduled. As always Ken has more details about these p.10 Carlisle winners in the newsletter and you can also check the chapter website for information. We are planning a Fall meeting toward the end of October. When the plans are finalized we will send out the date and time. Currently we are trying to have it at the same location as the last meeting, Funk's Family Restaurant. We need someone to volunteer to take calls. ! The officers will be up for election this Fall. We have a number of nominations from current officers who are going to be running for the same seats that they now hold. If anyone is interested in running for a post, please contact Ken or myself to let us know. The offices are for a two year term that runs from January 2012 through 2013. The elections will be held in the Fall and the results will be announced at the Fall meeting. ! Your input, participation and assistance will help to make all of the events and club activities better. Whenever you see other Oldsmobiles at other shows ask the owners if they are interested in attending any of our shows. They may not be aware of Oldsmobile shows in the area. Bob Seaman SAD NEWS ! ! ! ! A BIT OF ! On Wednesday morning July 6, a devastating fire struck the Maryland home of longtime OCA and Blue/Gray members Ron and Julie Siegrist. Ron and Julie got out safely but 6 of their classic cars were a total loss. The Baltimore Sun reported an estimated value of $300,000 just in the vehicles. The garage was destroyed and the living section of their house suffered extensive smoke damage. ! Our prayers are with Ron and Julie in this time of trouble and loss. They have been good friends to all of us who know them in the Blue/Gray Chapter. ! If you know of anything the chapter can do for them, let us know.

The Carlisle staff had to scramble to make room for Oldsmobile parking. We had 45 cars in attendance with many outstanding examples. Awards were presented by the hosting chapters as well as Carlisle productions. We even had a fully equipped Ghost Buster wagon keeping spectators entertained all weekend ! You might see it when you come to our Fall Show . 48 states and about 800 cars were represented at The GM Nationals this year and our show field had two cars from North Carolina. They traveled to Pa just to attend the show and both went home with awards. The Oldsmobile participants boasted many Celebrity picks, even Bill Jenkens, the famed Chevy drag racer chose an Olds ! And speaking of paying off, Carlisleʼs first time, $1000.00, overall Best Of Show winner was a 1969 H/O !! If you were not there you missed an exciting , high profile weekend for Oldsmobiles . Plan to be at the Blue/Gray Fall show to see some of these vehicles and mark your calendar for GM Nationals 2012. Thanks to all who participated and assisted . Special thanks to our Ken Whitcomb and DVOCʼs Jeff Antonucci for creating awards and managing hosting responsibilities . Watch for a complete write up in a future issue of JWO. Rick !
