NHHAC NEWS May 2015 Page 6 In Memoriam The club mourns the passing of Al Fugini. Al and Joyce joined the NHHAC family in 2007 and have made many contributions over the years. We will miss his smile. SPRING TOUR Steve selected a great day for the first tour of the season. The skies were gray, but the rain held off. Right on time, we left for brunch at Seton Hill University. Steve s daughter, Robin, met us and well taken care of. The food was good and plentiful. From Seton Hill, we traveled to Level Green. The roads were good along scenic countryside. We visited the Lentz Garage. Jeff had a remarkable collection of Nash automobiles from 1932 to 1934. These aren t the small cars that many of us remember. They were large impressive vehicles. Most were beautifully restored. Of course, there was the usual ice cream stop on our way home. Thanks, Steve! It was a great day.
