Started in June of 1991 with 15 members - of which 10 are still members.
Two of the original members said that we should
start a club. Because both were still working and didn't have the time they suggested that I should do it. I tried
to avoid doing it but my wife
Terry found out about the suggestion and she pushed me into calling and finding people.
The first
to mention it was Bob Crider. The second was Jim Hines, I said to Jim where can we find these people? He asked me if I
was going to the V8 Club flea market at the Shirley Airport. I said "yes". Jim said to meet him there and he would find
a lot of people to sign up. I did sign them up and then made arrangements for our first get together in May of 1991. In
June we had our first meeting, elected officers and set up the dues.
Due to Terry doing the pushing ans being our first secretary
and passing away before our first year was over we decided to start the Terry Young Award of Excellence.
In November 1992 Mary
Sheridan took over the job as editor of our newsletter. She has done fine job ever since - 15 years. In April
1995 Frank Miller took over as treasurer and has also done a fine job for 12 years.
