President s message: Brierside chat GREETINGS CORVAIR FRIENDS H ope e ve r yone had a wonderful time at the Yankee swap and Christmas Party at the Onion Pub in Tilton, NH. It was great to see some of the Bay State folks. The food was tasty and lots of visiting was going on. The meeting was short so we could get on with the party. Everyone had a great time. There were many gifts of candy and chocolate; those were the top swaps. There was also some after swap swapping so everyone went home with great stuff. We will be meeting at different places for our winter meetings. Make sure to check the newsletter for the locations. They are all at local restaurants so we will be having lunch and then our meetings. You know we gather best over food and drink! It s been very cold and not much snow; most of the snow has been going south of us again. Our Bay State friends have been getting it all. And yes, Janis is planning her trip south for a few days in April but first off to Maine for a few days in February. I have been slowly starting back to work, with short trips first. I have fixed the heater on the trucks a couple of times and I m now working with a tire on my car that keeps going flat, so I just carry the small air tank with me. Not a problem. Cats are all just hanging around the wood stove, because it s been so cold. They get so hot you would think they would combust, but they don t. Hope that you all come to the meeting in February with some ideas for the 25 th Annual Dust Off. So hope to see you all at Kapelli s in Boscawen.

From the Editor s cubicle I hope everyone now knows our new club postal address. PO Box 197, Sanbornton, NH 03269. This is where you send your dues, which are currently due. We are now into our third in a series of mystery members. Please participate by sending in your photos. You do not have to send in your guesses. The answers will always be printed in the next issue and you can say, I knew who it was all along!. The procedure for photos is explained beside the Mystery Member photo below. Our club holiday party/meeting was well attended. We had 6 crossover members from Bay State in attendance (CNHCA South). It was great to see them all (Ray & Kathy Bombardier, Dave & Debbie McMillan and John & Lynda Teixeira). I am pleased that our publisher Rhoda Hardy was able to attend. Attendance was almost too large for the room. I wish to thank all the individuals who brought in photographs for the Mystery Member feature, and ask the rest of you to do the same. Health-wise, not much has changed. I m continuing to gain strength and my hair is slowly returning. I saw the Oncologist in January for my first three month checkup and all is well. February Mystery Member Who am I now? Who is this month s mystery member at the left? Have fun guessing. We ll print the answer next month. To participate, scan your original photo at a minimum of 300 dots per inch and email the file to me at gnard@empire.net. If you can t scan the photo, I can. Send your photo directly to me to minimize handling. I ll scan it and get it back to you as soon and as safely as possible. If you don t wish the original photo to leave your sight, make a clean Xerox copy and get that to me. You may also get photos to me at regular scheduled club meetings. Here are the answers from our last issue. The December member is Janis Cox at age 14 and January member is Ray Moore in 1951. 3
January Party Pictured above are attendees at the club party. I apologize for the quality. Some of my shots where out of focus while others were too light or dark. It took a lot of manipulation to get them as good as this. I ve included our server Kathy. She was in a lot of photos where she was blurry due to rushing around taking care of us. I felt she deserved at least one shot that wasn t too fuzzy. editor 4
