Two of TC Motoring Guild’s Earliest Members Pass
Jim Crandall
Jim Crandall
Jim was one of our longest term members. He joined in 1961 and along with his wife Norma was a vital part of our club since day one. Looking through our old photos and newsletters, he and his wife Norma were always there, along with their TC which remains in the family today. He and Norma were a driving force in many of the Guild’s activities, with Jim serving in various roles including President, Vice President, Treasurer, Director, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. We will miss him dearly.
Mike Goodman
Mike & Sharon Goodman
Mike was a legend in the M.G. community and probably kept more TCs on the road than anyone over the years. He joined TCMG in 1964 and over the decades never hesitated to offer assistance or advice to those in need. He served many roles in the club including Vice President, Treasurer, Programs Chair, Events Chair and Director, in addition to his unofficial role as “M.G. Guru and Free Advice Giver”. Mike and Sharon opened their home more than once for our holiday parties. The club will not be the same without Mike.
Our next meeting will be held January 27, 2026 on Zoom. Details are forthcoming.
December Recap: 51 members attended our Annual Meeting and Holiday Party in December. Six TCs were present, driven by Rob Zucca, Cliff Lemieux, Mike Simmons, David Mathison, Steve Simmons (host) and Linda Simmons (host). Thanks to the team of Steve & Linda Simmons for hosting another holiday party in their shop!
