Williams, Jr. 1940-2013 by Jim Sambold Born Frank T. Williams, Jr. on April 12, 1940 in Norfolk, Virginia. Frank grew up always interested in taking things apart and fixing them, especially all things automotive. When he reached his 17 th birthday, Frank felt it was time to serve his country and enlist in the United States Coast Guard. Three years after entering the Coast Guard, on April 17th, 1960, he married Marilyn Reed in Dedham, Massachusetts. A week before the wedding he purchased a 1953 Austin Healey 100/4 for $1,000.00. Frank loved his Healey but it was not to stay for long. Their first son, Frank T. Williams III, born in June, 1961 passed away at the age of 18 months. Their second son, Richard, was born in April, 1963, and their youngest son, Reed, in March 1965. During his service career, as part of the first response strike teams, Frank became a specialist in oil spills and pollution control. After 23 years of service to our country as a Chief Petty Officer, he retired. Car of the Month One Jag, Two Jags by Dianne and Joe Paquette My husband and I did not intend on owning twin Jaguars, it just happened. I wanted a Jaguar in the worst way for about 4 years but we could never find one that was affordable and not one foot in the junkyard. My dad’s family is English and there is just something sexy about the shape of a Jaguar that makes it unlike any car on the road. I like to be unique and Jaguars fit that bill! In February 2012 continued page 6 2 He then started his own business as consultant, trainer and director for implementing oil spill procedures for the Coast Guard as well as reviewing contingency plans at US Navy bases all around the world. All these years since selling the Healey, Frank had been growing the itch to purchase a Jaguar E-type OTS. In 1986 he located a 1970 Series 2 that a doctor in Manchester was selling. This was just about the time when New England XK Association, NEXKA, was becoming Jaguar Association of New England so Frank and Marilyn became members. Frank would eventually restore his 1970 E-type but not before purchasing another 1969 Series 2 OTS as a parts car that would eventually be restored for Marilyn. These two E-types, Frank’s blue OTS, NH registration OILSLK and Marilyn’s white OTS, NH registration TAXPLN were seen at every car club event for many years. In 1993, Marilyn become president of J.A.N.E. and Frank became one of the three co-vice presidents. The couple became involved in every aspect of our club for many years. After the completion of the two E-types, Frank began feeling the urge to own another Healey 100/4 and the search was on. As fate would have it, there appeared a partially restored to primer, 1953 100/4 in a barn in Maine. In very short order, this car was Franks and he wasted no time getting the restoration started. With several British cars in the garage, both Frank and Marilyn became active members in British Cars of New Hampshire and, in their usual manner, went on to become directors. Suffering most of his life from severe rheumatoid arthritis in every joint in his body, no one ever heard Frank complain about the pain and discomfort or say that he couldn’t do something. He was always willing to lend a hand putting together an event, helping someone find a part for their car or doing anything else one would ask of him. Frank was a great friend to many and he will be deeply missed. continued page 6 BCNH MONARCHY PRIME MINISTER Robert Mitchell BRITISH CARS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION Visit us at www.bcnh.org Name_______________________________ Spouse______________________ Address__________________________________________________________ City____________________ State____ Zip________ Phone_______________ E-mail address____________________________________________________ Year, Make, Model of Your Auto(s)___________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Name of Referring Member_________________________________________ ___ Paper Newsletter* or ___ electronic copy of the Newsletter PRIME MINISTER EMERITUS Wade dos Santos CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER John Giese NEWSLETTER John & Joan Giese Owen & Virginia Christiansen REGALIA Joan Young SECRETARY Norma Karle WEBMASTER Kate Stanley Robinson Please send application and $30 annual dues (payable to BCNH) to: Lou Belanger, 11 Forest Lane, Litchfield, NH 03052 *Dues for those who want a paper newsletter are $35.

Contact information on page 4 3 Prime Minister’s Missive A picture is worth a thousand words – and there are lots of pictures on the BCNH 23Rd Birthday Party in this issue, so I’ll let them do most of the “talking.” It certainly looks like having the Holiday Cheers Party canceled due to snow last December has turned out to be a good thing. From that I think we have learned that there are just too many other Holiday Parties going on in December and we have BCNH members who would like to come to our party, but just can’t because of a scheduling conflict. February – being “Cabin Fever Season” - doesn’t have so many conflicting activities, and it sure showed in the turnout. With 92 members and friends there, the Birthday Party at Fratello’s on February 22, it was the largest event attendance we have ever had – including the Show of Dreams (SOD) I think. There may be more people at the SOD, but a lot of them are not BCNH Members. So, I think we’ve learned to just bag the December Holiday Party in the future and focus on the February Party instead. The other thing that was gratifying is the fact that everyone was “moving around” so much, with conversation groups forming and re-forming constantly, I didn’t get any sense that “the Regulars” formed one group while those who are less “regular” were left to feel as outsiders. That just didn’t happen. It is great to be part of a club that is so inclusive and that has so much energy. Let me put in a plug here for Prime Minister Emeritus Wade and Lin dos Santos. They are the ones who did all the work Brit Bits at McLean Enterprises Inc.

Three Cheers for the dos Santos team!!! In fact, considering that the attendance at “regular meetings” is usually around 40, there were substantially more members at the party who are not “Regulars” than there were who are. That leads me to think that some members may think that the regular monthly meetings are “just dry ‘business meetings’” so they don’t come. Let me assure that is not true. We are a social club and our regular monthly meetings are almost as much fun as the party was. If you have not been attending monthly meetings, let me suggest that you try them for a while. I encourage you to come to the next meeting – on March 3rd and see that it is just a continuation of the party. We really do have a ball. As I have often said, the primary purpose of our meetings is to meet!! On the subject of “all the energy,” I encourage you to take a look at the Club website at www.bcnh.org. Click on Events just under the banner and the Events Calendar should pop up. You will see that Sue MacDuff – the Club’s “Calendar Girl” has been hard at work entering the activities that our club members (and other club’s club members) have already planned for this season.

George sold us his Jaguar, a 1990 Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign that we call “Jag 1” and for very good reason. 9 months later we bought a 1992 Jaguar XJ6 intending to use it for parts for our first Jag but it ran so good and look so pretty, we decided we could not sacrifice one Jag for the other, so “Jag 2” was born. The nicknames are the only way that we can tell them apart since except for the headlights the cars are identical inside and out. We are very grateful to George for not only caring for our cars but taking the time to teach us about our cars and what they need (and don’t need) to stay “healthy” on the road. One drawback to both cars is there is no CD player. I miss CD’s but luckily still have some cassettes. I also think that duct tape can fix almost anything and have been known to duct tape door panels, wires and other objects as a temporary or sometimes permanent repair and we own over 120 fuses! If we have learned nothing over the last two years, the Jaguars have taught us that maintenance is cheaper than major breakdowns and tow bills! Jaguar made three types of XJ6’s, Base model, Vanden Plas and Sovereign. Our cars are a base model and Sovereign but surprisingly not too many folks can tell the difference. The interiors are walnut and biscuit leather and the engines are 4.0 DOC, the largest engine Jaguar made for these cars and of course the engines are identical. The 1990 Jaguar was in perfect condition as George had driven and fussed over it for two years before selling it to me. The 1992 Jaguar had a rough life. Subject to ownership by a Chevy Nova “enthusiast” Jag 2 never really had a chance at a normal existence, and when the engine died, the Nova guy left it sitting under a tree, with a “ghetto moon roof” someone had installed (my son’s nickname for it) and the roof leaked, big surprise. The leaking roof took out the headliner and affected the electrical system 6 so presently Jag 2 needs some work on heating, AC and other dash related problems. Our bucket list for Jag 2 is long and expensive but we never give up on our Jags no matter what. We are very attached to our “girls” as we call them and have nicknamed our garage the “Jag Shack” installing separate cabinets for storage of supplies and cleaners because white cars get dirty fast and as we all know Jags leak at least these two Jags do! Each Jag has its own “personality” too. Jag 1 likes to break down 3 days before a big car show so she can be hauled over to Georges house and enjoy a “spa day” with him getting all her issues fixed. Sometimes George has worked till midnight fixing the cars so we don’t miss a big show. Jag 2 enjoys breaking down on the way to a big car show or during a car show, luckily we show the cars together so nobody goes without a ride home. The furthest distance Jag 2 has been hauled is from Somersworth, New Hampshire the day we bought her, dead but certainly still a pretty jag. Needless to say, we have met many new friends along the way from all over NH and they are usually employed as tow truck drivers and they all know the way to George’s house. For the first year we owned the Jags we belonged to an American car club, and although the people are very nice, they never quite understood the mentality of owning a Jaguar, maintenance, cost of parts, reliability (or lack of) and simple things like “why do you only have one windshield wiper?” or “why does your hood open that way?”. We tried to educate folks on the beauty of owning a British car, some got it others just thought we were crazy or gluttons for punishment, I agreed that we were a “bit of both” actually, but its all about having fun. We try to take the Jags together whenever possible, the looks we get driving down the road are priceless and I have to admit, Joe and I have raced the Jags to see which is faster, so far Jag 2 with all her problems has the engine of a beast (most likely jacked up a bit from the Nova guy) and has beaten Jag 1 every time. What Jag 1 lacks in power she makes up for in amenities, her stereo is better and she has heat! Our Jags go to cruise nights and car shows all over NH and MA and always show together because after all they are twins! My husband drives Jag 2 and I drive Jag 1 and we use walkie talkies to talk to each other on the way to the shows in case the lead car gets lost or breaks down. Jag 2 carries our equipment (canopy, chairs, cleaners and misc) and Jag 1 carries the trophies and snacks and camera equipment as I am a professional photographer. I confess these two Jaguars are probably the most photographed cars in all of NH, I just can’t get enough pics of our girls! Next year I hope to have them in the local holiday parade but that depends on the weather, we shall see. We usually put the cars away in late October tucked safely in our “Jag shack” for a nice winter nap, but I have been found sneaking Jag 1 out for a quick trip to Concord, as I am an on air personality at WNHN in Concord and sometimes miss “jagging” up the highway! Probably the best thing Joe and I did was join the NH British Car club. We immediately felt welcome from the very first meeting we attended we knew we were among our “peeps”! We loved showing the cars at the “show of dreams” this year, surrounded by British cars, we were in heaven! We also enjoyed all the cruises we went on especially the covered bridge tour! Its so refreshing to be with folks who share our joy and headaches of owning British cars and still love them anyway! I guess I would say the last two years have taught us a lot about British culture and automobile maintenance but most of all, patience and pride of ownership in the good times and the breakdowns! Show of Dreams Meeting Notes 10am to 3pm. The featured Marques will be Lotus, TVR, Rochdale and all the fiber body British Marques. wine, wine glass holder and two wine glasses. Doris Karle is looking into more useful items for Best in Show, Best of Featured Marque and Best of the Master Class. Diamond in the Rough will be a gift box of items to restore a car. February 8, 2014 Thanks to Paul & Doris Karle for hosting the February Show of Dreams meeting. For several weeks, Pinch & Suzi Polenchar have been working with SAU 81 Hudson School Board, Alvirne High School and the Hudson Historical Society to secure the 2014 venue for the Show of Dreams. The committee is happy to announce the Hudson School Board has approved BCNH to use the field at Alvirne Hill House on Route 102,Hudson, NH as the site for this year’s show. This field was chosen because of the road exposure, location on Route 102 and proximity to hotels and restaurants in the area for those participants traveling from a great distance. The show date is Saturday, July 26 from With the addition of The New Hampshire Food Bank as a second charity, we have decided to use a Mini Cooper as the drop spot for the spectator donations at the entrance to the field. Basically: “Throw the Money in the Mini” This new venue will require the club to bring in port-a-potty facilities. We are contacting several providers to find the best available. We will also be researching a police detail for traffic control due to the volume of traffic on Route 102. The 1st place trophies will be the BCNH We have acquired an aerial view of the new field. The field crew discussed the entrance procedure, the car placement, vendor parking, and general layout of tents for regalia, raffle, DJ, etc. The next SOD meeting is scheduled for March 15th at the home of Norma Karle & Rod Folia. Norma will send out an email with dinner details. 7 nd Happy 23 Birthday BCNH Photos by Linda dos Santos & Sue MacDuff More pictures on page 15 8 We love, love, love birthday parties and this one was fabulous! Thank you Goldie and Wade for organizing this event. There were generous donations to the NH Food Bank both with goods and monies. Fratello’s did a great job keeping our crowd happy. The food, and plenty of it, was delicious. There was plenty of room to mix and mingle and we did that in spades. With our growing membership (nearly 300) 92 people came to say thanks to the founding members of British Cars of New Hampshire. The birthday cake with featured marques, was baked and decorated by Inga Griffin. It has to be good if it’s Inga’s It was just the perfect day after this brutally cold and snowy winter. Our spirits were perked up and now we can look forward to club events and driving our little British cars. Huzzah, winter is finally coming to an end. With no December or January meetings it was wonderful to see old friends and new faces at this gala. Director Bob Mitchell kept things relatively in order with his official Bobby whistle. There was a lively drawing for door prizes cementing the idea that the “hair cap” is now our club standard. To shade the different pates in convertible weather, these caps came in various shades of blond, brown, black and gray. For a switch up, ladies caps were added and different visor and band colors too. At the closing there was a photo op of our jaunty group who were the winners of those caps. It was discussed that this would be a nice tradition to forgo a holiday party since that season is just too busy and winter weather is too dicey. Frankly, it’s like herding cats to get everyone committed to a certain date during the holiday season. This birthday party came at the right time and everyone appeared to be very happy to see one another after two months of BCNH withdrawal. For those who could not make this event, we missed you and you missed a swell party.

The Berkshire British Motor Club is starting off the Season and inviting BCNH to join them in two events. On March 9th there will be the forth Maple Syrup Run. Other years BBMC has held a Fun Rally but plans are still in the works and it may be just a drive to a Maple Sugar House. Updates will be on our online calendar when I have them. There is also a planned visit with BBMC to the Springfield Museums in Springfield MA https:/ /www.google.com/#q=springfield+ma+museums. There are five museums featuring fine art, history and science. Looks like we are going to have a full season of events. Our calendar is rapidly filling up. We will again be celebrating our Queen's Birthday and do another Dinner Cruise on Lake Sunapee. Both were very popular events last year. Some of the shows have listed their dates with the most important one, our very own Show of Dreams date settled on the 26th of July at the Alvirne Hill House in Hudson. We have several overnight events to be thinking about. The Mid Maine Sports Car Club's event (May), World Wide Tour of Maine (June), British Motoring Festival in Nova Scotia (July) and a tour of the White Mountains (September).
