1 Next Meeting: 2 nd Saturday 9:30AM Fruitdale Grange 2018 Galice Tour Down the Historic and Scenic Rogue River Canyon In October our club enjoyed a nice fall trip out of the upstream valley, through farmlands then along the river, to Galice Resort for a nice lunch on the deck overlooking the river and mountains. It is a great setting to be with friends and talk about various topics of interest. The drive is a nice easy jaunt enjoyed by everyone. Top photos are of this year s A (and a T) lineup. Bottom photos are: Photos of Firths 30 coupe on the road and Bill Hallows next to his authentically aged coupe. Fleishman s green model T is behind Bill. He s really put some miles on it since he purchased it. It was nice to see all the cars out and have the chance to enjoy all their beauty! Page 1

2 2018 Officers and Executive Committee President John Firth Vice President and MAFFI Rep Lynn MacDougall Secretary Kitty Waud Treasurer Nancy Firth Past President Bill Hallows Committee Chairs: From the President s Desk John Firth President Letter: November 2018 I am in the middle of a new project that will likely keep me busy this winter. I bought a 1930 Closed Cab Pickup (CCPU) from former club member Kim Rich a while back. Included in the deal was the back section for a 1930 Roadster Pickup. That got me thinking that a Roadster Pickup would be fun to do. So, I contacted my friend in southern Cal who does a lot of buying and selling of Model A cars and parts. Sure enough, he had just what I needed to make this scheme work. And better yet, he wanted my cab, so we made a trade. Things are coming along nicely.
