In past years, at this time, I have always
told you about how great the annual All GM
Car Show was. This year, with
our editor’s help, I am going to
show you the smiling faces of all
the movers and shakers who
helped put the show together.
Don’t forget - July is the month in which we elect
chapter officers. So come forth if you have
political ambitions. July is also the time to
renew your membership. You are supplied a
membership application with this issue.
Please fill it in and enclose your check. Don’t
miss a Bombsight!
