Myron Watkins and Ailing Members

KARC member Myron Watkins (KAR member Kelso Campbell is his father-in-law) was burned while working with concrete. Myron had skin graft surgery to be treated for severe burns. Please keep Myron and family in your prayers.

 

Charlie Ball is improving from a lingering illness and Fred Hudson has been under the weather. Please pray Charlie’s health continues to improve and Fred recovers quickly.

 

Prayers that James Armstrong continues to feel better.

 

Member Machines and Gossip

 

Dick Reports:

 

Charlie Ball, Sid Vicars, and Dick Cartwright are currently working on a VW that has been sitting in (beside) Muddy Creek for the past 8 years.

 

Congratulations to Randy Bledsoe, his auto body program has received ASE certification. This is a major achievement and shows what we already knew, Randy has developed, and runs a top-notch program.

 

Some older news that didn’t get reported:

 

Bill Hurd has bought Tom Herron's 1947 Mercury coupe. Bill reports the "Marauder" ran great on the Bowling Green trip.

 

Frank Carr's '40 Ford won best Ford at Bowling Green.

 

Perry Stapleton's '40 Ford won a City of Kingsport award at Allandale.

 

Dick Cartwright's '55 Chevrolet received a top 25 pick at Allandale.

 

KARC has been well represented at local Christmas parades this season.

 

Daris and Nell, Buckshot and Diane, Bruce, Perry and Dewane and Patricia all made it to the Daytona Turkey Run. Perry reported Thursday was a washout, but the remainder of the weekend was great.

 

KARC Christmas Party

Between 65-70 KARC members and families were present at the annual Christmas Party. As always, the food and fellowship was outstanding.

Special thanks to Daris and Nell for all they do to make the party a success. Many thanks to all those that helped get the facility ready and helped clean up afterwards.

 

2018 Officer Elections

Please keep in mind, we will be electing officers at this month’s meeting. Open positions include Vice President and Treasurer. We will discuss dividing Treasurer’s duties, separating fees/monthly operations and car show repsonsibilities.
