PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
This is a sad time for the Colonial Region. The loss of Bruce Nichols to the club is a big blow. He was one of our younger members and one of the most active. He and Judi were relentless recruits for new members. Bruce designed and ordered club fliers to hand out or mail and distributed more that any other member. He was good at writing an event review and always had an idea for a new club activity. Many of our events were because of his planning. His feeling was that we should have a meeting every month ,somewhere. He was involved in most car related activities especially car shows. I think it was Bruce who got the club into the “ice cream” finish. Weather didn’t matter, only ice cream at the end of every meeting. He also served as VP.
We will miss him.
The September 11 Hancock Vol Fire Dept car show was a big success. 6 club members with their 5 antiques enjoyed a gorgeous fall day. Lots of prizes and fresh cider donuts helped make it fun. Because it was Sept 11, the organizers had a short memorial service which included a bagpiper, patriotic music, a flag salute, and a formal bell ceremony. Don even drove the 1919 Dodge-Brothers touring car. If Bruce had been healthy, he would have been there.
The October meeting is still planned for the October 17th Waters Farm Festival. The car show almost was cancelled, but Judi Nichols is determined to have it in Bruce’s memory. He has been the organizer for years. This will be our Bruce Nichols Memorial Car Show. Jane and Don Palmer will be there and Judi Nichols will be doing registration. The members attending should meet at the registration desk at noon as a group. The show is in Sutton , Mass. And there are good signs off Rte 146. The poster is on our web site with more details.
*** Reminder—if there is heavy rain in the prior days, it might be muddy.
The November tour to the Wright Chicken Farm Restaurant in RI is not final. It will be “take out” if we can manage it. Vince Ruops is hosting. More info in early November. At this point, because of COVID, the December meeting will not happen. Judy
Thank you for all your help with the 1964 Plymouth that was part of my brothers estate. No one contacted me about the car but I do appreciate you placing the ad. I ended up giving the car away to a man who restores old cars and he thinks the Plymouth wil be the perfect car to teach his sons how to restore an old car.
Thanks again for all your efforts.
Martha-Thanks for letting us know the car is no longer available for purchase. The ad has been removed. Your comment helps keep the website up to date and avoids you from getting unnecessary contacts from people in the future concerning this car. It sounds like the car will land in a great location…..one that your brother which would have made him happy.
