Hello Everyone, PRESIDENT S MESSAGE INSIDE THIS ISSUE Upcoming Events 4 Bayernhof Museum and Lunch Tour NHHAC at the PVGP 6 Picnic Notice 7 Classifieds & Notices 8-9 Name That Vehicle 10 5 I've been thinking, when we travel around, touring in our old cars, we're actually doing the rest of the world a favor. All those people who give us a "thumbs-up" or a wave, would have had to go to a museum and spend some money to see old cars. But instead we bring them to the public, and they can see them for free. It's fun for them and fun for us. So, get out, drive your cars and have some fun. See you soon. Jan The annual NHHAC picnic is September 8. Reservations must be made by August 1. See the notice on page 7.
