    I need to CLEAR THE AIR!, concerning the newsletter.

    Louis Very well said. I have met you personally and think very highly of you. I am in total agreement with what you said about getting along, etc. so I will not reiterate your comments. I think some of the tenured folks who remember the Club back in the days of it being drama free and...

    I need to CLEAR THE AIR!, concerning the newsletter.

    Barb Respectfully speaking, those of us who have decided not to renew our memberships for varied reasons, would then have to pay the annual dues to be a participant in hosting a convention, becoming a board member, etc. as you suggest. To quote the VCCC web page on this site, membership dues...

    I need to CLEAR THE AIR!, concerning the newsletter.

    Hans Good to hear from you. I did not want to duplicate a post but I have voiced my opinion on another thread that coincides with what is being said here. You make some really valid points and only those who have been in the club in the earlier years can understand how you feel.

    I DO like Green Ham and Bags...

    Alan My family owned the exact Mercury you posted only it was not red. It was my mom's car and ours was a more subdued cream color, but it did have the "wood" siding. Dad traded in the 1957 because Mom grew very frustrated with the nuances of the pushbutton transmission, which repeatedly got...

    Something I've never seen before!

    Toby I have never seen that machine. It is truly a rare bird. Your car must have vac radar for sure. I know it has a good home and you should have some fun with it. I'll be in touch with you to coordinate a time when I can come up to bring you your Nilfisk cord. Bill did a good job on...

    A Thread for Terry L.

    Toby GREAT pictures!! I can't wait to see them in person. Very thoughtful of you to think of Terry. He's a great guy, very giving to others and I was glad to see this thread dedicated to him. It is characteristic of him to open his home to friends and he is a FABULOUS host. Robb

    Royalaire 260 "After" Pics

    Jeff What a sharp looking machine! A little elbow grease, and it turns out to be a beauty. I have the same one in my collection and you are right, they were work horses and good performers as well. Robb

    NIB Compact.......the gold one!

    Terry You are the best!! I understand you being compelled to do what you did, and an important ingrediant to the recipe of who you are. If you left out honesty, the end result wouldn't be Terry Lattz. Something I have always admired about you. I would have done the same thing. Robb

    NIB Compact.......the gold one!

    Very Nice Rick I heard there were a few of the gold ones to be had. Terry, you are such a gem to bestow such a gift to our Crevicetool. I do have a question though. I thought the gold ones had the electric power nozzle included, at least that was my understanding from others that got one. That...
