MAY 19, 2024 MEETING

We were again unable to go on our scheduled Dust Off Tour in April due to inclement weather!   But, we had good attendance today!  We acknowledged the very generous contributions made in memory of Pat Howard.  The club voted to donate a Plaque to the Model A Ford Foundation in Pat's honor.  We also voted to contribute to the Model A Youth Restoration.  Mark Marcello, a new member presented information and showed original certificates regarding the purchase of Model A Ford Coupe by a family member 5 generations ago.  Imagine!  He and his dad now own this vehicle that was purchased for $165 as a used car in 1937.  The warranty on the car at that time in was for 2 days!  Al and Sandy Bowder were again awarded a certificate for excellence in editing and publishing the Quail Tales.  Dean and Dennis presented a video and led a discussion of "What to Do When My Model A Won't Start".  Russell Dean proposed two different tours to do this summer, including one to a very unique farm in Foster, RI.

Lawrence Beauchaine


It is with great sadness that I share the notification of the passing of Larry Beauchaine.  Larry was a good friend and an active participant in Little Rhody events until a few years back.  I personally have quite a few stories of things Larry and I did together - particularly with working on his "30 Coupe.  It is great clubs like ours that allow us to gain good, lasting friends along the way.  Larry was truly a good friend to all that knew him.  Thanks, Larry, for all the memories my friend.  Until we meet again.  From Dean Travis.
