Manufactureed in Argentina. Dewey Porter, Bob Quackenbush, Dave Burrows, Doug Hunsworth, Peter Starr, Cliff Williams, Ron Leone, Joe Greeves, were among participants at the airshow from ACAC. From all reports it was a good time had by all. Ron always follows the food and reported that a gourmet lunch was available for a $10 donation. About the above photo as reported by Joe Greeves: Jinny, Fun in the mud! Ron didn't have a hook on the bottom of the PT Cruiser so I suggested he run the strap through the A-pillars. I flagged down a pickup, owned by Scott Cooney. It worked! additional photos show the car successfully saved from its predicament and safely headed home. Thanks, Joe! More on the show

2 Salt Life Eat-Out January 28, 2016 Where there s a will, there s a way. A crowded restaurant did not keep us from eating out on a rainy night. Marge and Fred Bauer, Jim and Tuni Weiss, and Dave Burrows dined at a table in the bar section, Jim and Rita Arpaia came late and joined Hope and Ray Emery, sitting with Donna and Dick Sherrod, who had arrived an hour early to secure seating. You can see that Ann and Joe Greeves (with camera) along with Ron Leone (face obscured) and Bill Soman with David Cameron also had a seat at the table. Bob Q. took these shots of two of the planes. Bob, Dewey, Bob-below Ron Leone shares this pretty lady from the airshow looks like the same plane that caught Bob Quackenbush s eye. Please find Dewey s excellent write-up on page 11. 2

What could be better than good friends and lots of cars? Pictured above Ron Leone, Bill Soman, Dick Sherrod, and Bob Quackenbush following are some pictures of the cars on display: 3

4 There were quite a few cars that bore For Sale signs I think this one belongs to Ray and Hope Emery. Many participants had spent the whole day at car shows including the one at Visual FX on SR 207 to benefit a cancer patient. Dick Sherrod left parking lights on nice T-Bird. Dewey Porter displayed this 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for sale terms were posted on the windshield. (See above right.) Muscled stang. 4

17 The Last Word: Remember when? submitted by Bill Soman. Ancient City Auto Club has enjoyed a very active start this year with good participation from the membership. Three events especially were very well represented thanks to the good work Dewey Porter does in reminding us each week of the possibilities. Thanks to the Arpaias for keeping us aware of the Air Show in Palatka. Thanks to Joe Greeves for providing photo coverage. Salt Life was so much fun thanks, Ron Leone. The show at FX was also enthusiastically supported by ACAC and most continued into the evening with the Cruise-In near Hobby Lobby. Check the activities list and mark your calendars so you don t miss out on any exciting plans for this year. Food is always a good draw for our people, so we really lucked out at Palatka with planes, cars, and lunch. plus a pretty day. Good way to get new members as Peter Starr brought a friend. Just so you know, I have reserved the Caddy Shack for all of our meetings for If we need to make any adjustments along the way, we can, but the place is secure for the first Thursday of each month for our regular meeting. Happy Motoring! Dick Sherrod, President Submitted also by Bill and Dee Soman. Meeting Thursday Night at Caddy Shack-6 eat; 7- meet. See you there! 17
