TCMG Loses Two Cherished Members

We are saddened to report the passing of two members, Karen Pohle and Joe Marcotte.

Edwin & Karen Pohle

As reported by Allan Chalmers, Karen had Parkinsons and had been getting progressively worse for a few years. Ed and Karen had moved from Squaw Valley to Auburn recently and Karen had to go into a care facility.  As part of our Northern contingent, Ed and Karen have been regulars at our annual Conclaves for many years as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.

Joe & Pat Marcotte

Also reported by Allan, Joe had gone into hospital the day after our annual meeting to do a fix on his knee replacement, and caught something that caused great breathing problems. He was on serious oxygen and finally the problem was too much for him. Also part of our Northern contingent, Joe and Pat have also regulars at our annual Conclaves for ages as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.
 
Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Karen and Joe.  They will be missed. 

Our next meeting will be held on May 28 at our usual location in Studio City.  TCMG member Joel Shapiro will be giving a talk about the restoration of his Vintage M.G.s.

Desserts and beverages will be provided by Linda Simmons. For those interested, we will be performing basic TC maintenance tasks in the garage after the picnic.

TCMG Loses Two Cherished Members

We are saddened to report the passing of two members, Karen Pohle and Joe Marcotte.

Edwin & Karen Pohle

As reported by Allan Chalmers, Karen had Parkinsons and had been getting progressively worse for a few years. Ed and Karen had moved from Squaw Valley to Auburn recently and Karen had to go into a care facility.  As part of our Northern contingent, Ed and Karen have been regulars at our annual Conclaves for many years as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.

Joe & Pat Marcotte

Also reported by Allan, Joe had gone into hospital the day after our annual meeting to do a fix on his knee replacement, and caught something that caused great breathing problems. He was on serious oxygen and finally the problem was too much for him. Also part of our Northern contingent, Joe and Pat have also regulars at our annual Conclaves for ages as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.
 
Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Karen and Joe.  They will be missed. 

Our next monthly meeting will be held on April 23 at our usual Studio City location.  Pete Thelander will be giving a talk on car collecting and restoration.  More details to follow so check back soon!

March recap: 19 members and guests attended our March meeting, with three TCs parked outside driven by Simmons, Mathison and Loe.  See the May newsletter to see the interesting facts learned about TCMG members at this meeting.  One fact just for a taste of the stories we were treated to was “I stood 3 miles from an A-Bomb blast”.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

Join us on Friday, May 3 for a tour, picnic and Linda’s baked goodies!

From our meeting point in Westlake Village, we embark on a 15-mile scenic driving tour to the Stagecoach Inn Museum in Newbury Park. Built in 1876, the museum was originally a hotel and is now a historical landmark. Here we will enjoy a 90-minute guided tour of the museum, a schoolhouse built in 1888, and the blacksmith shop. Also see a pioneer home, a Mexican adobe and a Chumash dwelling, all representing different historical eras of the Conejo Valley.

After the tour it’s a short drive to the Simmons residence for a picnic lunch. Bring your picnic basket (or grab lunch to go) and dine in the garden! Desserts and beverages will be provided by Linda Simmons. For those interested, we will be performing basic TC maintenance tasks in the garage after the picnic. Watch for a flyer in the mail with details on meeting time and location.

NOTE: If you plan to attend this event (tour and/or picnic) please RSVP to Steve Simmons.

March Recap: 19 members and guests experienced the recent “super bloom” of poppies in Lancaster.  Four TCs were present driven by Loe, Simmons, Olson and Mathison.

Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Karen and Joe.  They will be missed. 

Our next monthly meeting will be held on March 26 at our usual Studio City location.  The evening’s program will be a sequel to a program from eight years ago, where you will learn all kinds of fascinating things about your fellow TCMG’ers.  Facts like “The hospital bill for my birth was partially paid with potatoes”.  Also “I drove a TC through the Berlin Corridor in 1996” and “My father went to high school with Charles Lindberg.”  Don’t miss this entertaining evening of TCMG member history!

February recap: 23 members and guests attended our February meeting, with two TCs parked outside driven by Simmons and Loe.  Thanks to Richard Loe for his presentation on the many British cars in his collection, and thanks also to our special guest and ex-member Barney Jackson who was on hand to donate historical items from the early days of the club.

The wildflower tour returns for 2019!  Recent storms have brought wildflowers back to California in abundance.  Many types of wildflowers including poppies are blooming in the mountains and deserts north of Los Angeles.  On Sunday, March 31, our adventure will take us on a 1-hour drive along scenic roads to the California Poppy Reserves in Lancaster.

Bring a picnic lunch and dine among the flowers!  We will lunch after our tour at a nearby nature park.  Picnic tables are available as first come, first served.

See the flyer (in the mail) for details on meeting time and location.  NOTE: This event will be canceled in the event of rain.

February Recap: 9 members and one TC braved the rainy weather for our Lame Duk Kup.  Congratulations to Cliff Lemieux for winning the 1930’s Grand Prix and taking home the duck.

TC Motoring Guild’s First Female President Now In Office

After more than six decades, TC Motoring Guild’s first female president took the gavel at our January meeting.  The only other woman to take the reins was Bobbie Simon in March of 1995, who as VP stepped in at a meeting when the president was absent.

Our popular TCMG hoodie zip-up sweat shirts are now being embroidered at no additional cost!  Both regular and lightweight versions now feature high quality embroidered logos and can be seen on our regalia page.

Our September meeting will be held on the 25th at our usual Studio City location.  The evening’s entertainment will include a once lost video entitled “Rally Round”.  This video comedy was made during the 18th Annual San Diego Double Day event in 1989 and was shot by Gayne and Doug Wimer with help from several other TCMG members. It depicts a “typical” navigational rally of the time and stars many long-time TCMG personalities, many who are still members today. See the exploits of Belland, Bundy, Chalmers, Coleman, Crandall, Lutz, Roth, Schnaer, Simon, Wilmer and Wimer as they compete to win in this totally oddball production recently re-discovered and digitized by Allan Chalmers.  Also included are lots of outtakes and behind the scenes footage that are just as entertaining as the video itself!

August Recap: 19 members and guests were present for our August meeting at the Simon museum.  Four TCs were present – Simmons, Edgar, Simon (Ron) and Simon (Dave). A huge thanks to all of the Simons for opening their museum, and to Dave for giving us a fun and fascinating celebrity history on the various cars in the collection.

As always we are seeking photos for the Members Gallery showing you and your TC. We also welcome member biographies so your fellow TCMG’ers can learn a bit about you, your history with your TC or anything else you care to write about. Historic photos and stories are also being sought to expand our TCMG History section on the site. Please send what you have to Steve Simmons.
