  Stan Belland Passes

  

  It is with a sad heart that we report the passing of Stan Belland. Stan was a significant contributor to the TC Motoring Guild. He was brought into the club by the other two Cambria Geezers, Bob McKarney and Clarence Weiss in the late 1970’s. The other two pre-deceased him, but Stan claimed that the twenty years the three of them ran around Cambria in their TC’s were some of the richest and most enjoyable years of his life.

  Stan took some teasing about the time it took to get his TC operational, but he dove into the TCMG spirit with a vengeance. He was the club president for 4 years, vice-president for 7 years and handled programs for 5. He was a significant part of the Classic Chassis newsletter production for 8 years and was the recipient of our most coveted Frank Mason Award six times. He leaves his wife Esther, three children, five grandchildren and one great grand. He will be missed.

  New Monthly Bonus Events Announced

  In addition to our regular driving events, each month this year will have a bonus “do it yourself” tour. These tours will be in the spirit of our main events, keeping with the theme of each month’s activity. Bonus tours will be announced in the first half of each month, so be sure to keep an eye on the club calendar for updates!

  Each bonus tour will also count for one point toward the Sargent Award, but will not be required activities to win an Iron Bottom Award. We hope you participate!

   

  

  The Summer Picnic Meeting at the Henkels home in Pasadena returns on June 21! Bring a picnic dinner and dine under the stars at this annual favorite. Dessert will be provided by our hostess. Those driving TCs or equally interesting classics (tall order) get preferred parking in the driveway. Meeting starts at 7:00 PM. Local members will receive an invitation in the mail. As a courtesy to our hostess Cindy Henkels, please be sure to RSVP.

  May recap: 27 members attended our May meeting, held online. Six TCs were driven at least 10 miles by S. Simmons, Edgar, Hunsberger, Lemieux and M. Simmons. Special thanks to John Bowyer for a fascinating presentation on the story of a very special Rippon Brothers bodied Rolls Royce he’s restoring.

  Monthly Driving Events

  On Saturday, May 28th, we will be heading north to the beautiful Heritage Valley for a day of gorgeous scenery, great driving roads and interesting destinations. We begin with a 30-mile scenic drive along smaller farm and country roads to our first stop, a real honey farm.  Here you can sample various honey products fresh from the farm and see how they are made. Products are all available for purchase in the farm store.

  Our second stop is at the largest rose farm and nursery in the area for a tour of their spectacular walking gardens.  Then, a picnic lunch among the flowers.  Pack a picnic chair just in case we run out of seating.  This will be an afternoon in the country you won’t want to miss!

  Watch for a flyer in the mail, as well as info in the upcoming newsletter.

  April Recap: 10 members with 5 TCs and one modern participated in our April event. TCs were driven by Simmons, Edgar, Loe, Hunsberger and Zucca.
