Random Photos from the Past President s Message Another year has flashed before our eyes. Helen and I would like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year. It is time for the North Georgia Chapter to plan our activities for I did not go through all the meeting minutes, but it seems like we were entertaining the possibility of hosting a Zone Meet or joint hosting with the Chattanooga Chapter. If the membership is still considering this, now is the time to start planning for it. Please be thinking about a Meet and bring up any other activities you suggest for 2018 at the January 7, 2018 Meeting. See y all next year. -Loren Nelson- 11. Studebaker Corral Editorial Comment Events 5. January Meeting Details 7. Studebaker Calendar In November, at Thanksgiving this year, we were fortunate enough to spend several days with our daughter Julie, her husband Hamet, and their two boys Eli and Timo. Now in December, we ll be spending time with our son Oscar, his wife Lizet, and our granddaughter Kaira, all of whom will be coming to Georgia from their home in Mexico. Some of you might remember Kaira; she attended the January, 2011 North Georgia SDC meeting in Danielsville at the age of 3 weeks. We hosted that particular meeting. Now she s all grown up at the age of 7. We wish you and your families the happiest of holidays and look forward to seeing you at SDC meetings throughout the new year. -Guadalupe and Tim Taylor- In Memoriam Charlotte Delli passed away Saturday, December 2, 2017 at the age of 74. She was born in Urbana, Illinois, and had been a contract officer and logistics engineer for the United States Department of Defense. Charlotte had also been an English teacher and college professor, and she is one of the past presidents of our club. We will all miss Charlotte tremendously.

8 Old Car Trivia Quiz Answers to last month s trivia questions: Identify the marque of each car depicted here Simca 1959 Panhard 1957 Lloyd 1987 Yugo Renault Dauphine Morris Minor From Martha Cade, North Central Florida chapter SDC, to Wayne Lee: Intercepted Mail Yes, I remember the Delli s. Charlotte was the best newsletter editor ever in our chapter and the 2 of them used to plan Scavenger hunt drives throughout north central Florida. We would start out at a specific spot, drive through the gorgeous countryside, following directions, find the interesting answers to questions about spots along the way and end up at a great restaurant. They put lots of hard work into everything they did and sadly, one of our members was really nasty to them and they ended up leaving our chapter. We were heartsick about it. And I am so very sad about her passing. We also just lost a member of our club to brain cancer on Sunday. I will share this news with our chapter. And thanks for including the obituary which I will also pass on
