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
