The Rumble Sheet October, 2015 Page 1 October, 2015 Volume 55 Issue 10 Editor: Jim Lank www.sfvalleymodela.com GET OUT ON THE ROAD As you know, September 19 th was National Model A Ford Day and our club celebrated with a tour to the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar. We had a good turn out and a nice tour through the museum, which is always fascinating. Then lunch at Los Tres Hermanos, real Mexican food, in San Fernando. What a great way to celebrate our hobby! As I mentioned at our September meeting, the Model T Ford Club is disbanding and will be no more after their October meeting. I also received an email informing us that “Wings and Wheels” will no longer meet in Solvang, also, due to lack of participation. It’s a sign of the times. With that thought in mind, I want to urge you to consider your involvement in our club, less we fall prey to the same circumstance. At our upcoming October 15 th meeting (7:00 PM), we will be electing our officers for next year. I can’t express how important this is to the future of our club. We can’t just sit back hoping someone else will step up and take on the responsibilities of running our club. Please consider serving on the board or taking one of the other positions of responsibility to help our club stay strong. I know that some of you are serving now or have served in the past and that is certainly appreciated. If you have never held a position with the club or are not serving now, I urge you to consider doing so. I look forward to many more years of enjoying this hobby – working on and driving our Model As in the company of our club members and with your help, this can happen. Don’t forget our annual blanket party coming up on October 18 th , from noon to 3PM, at Galpin Ford. It’s pot luck, so bring a dish and your appetite and help tie a blanket or two. It’s for a good cause. And I’ll see you for breakfast at Bob’s on October 17 th . Clark Ed. Note: Thank you Clark for not turning us green (and yellow and red) with envy about your trip to New England Roberta Boardman (1938 - 2015) The original Valley Girl, Roberta was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. She and her husband Dallas raised 4 children but that hardly kept them away from local activities, volunteer work, politics and travel. World travelers, Roberta and Dallas also loved to tool around in in one of 2 Model As they had (or their DeLorean or classic Mustang). They joined our club in 1980 and while neither is listed as past president, both exercised influence in the shaping of our club and we are reaping the benefits even today - it was Roberta who spoke on behalf of the club to her friend Bert Boeckmann and it was decided that they would allow the use of the room we use for meetings today. Thank you, Roberta for all that you did for the club and the community. You will be missed.

Thank you for your indulgence.The Rumble Sheet is a week and a
day late! But what a wonderfulexcuse I have! Whit and I spent 31
days on the road. Anchored on a weddingin Chicago, we motored up to Yellowstone,
through Montana, saw a cousin I hadn’t seen since1958 in Minnesota, witnessed Whit’s niece get married inChicago and then drove back to Los Angeles taking (for themost part) Route U.S. 66. We stayed at era motor courts andate at roadside cafes (including frozen custard atTed Drewes in St. Louis.)I didn’t ‘understand’ 66 when we started.I think I do now and I want to understandmore. If you have 3 or 4 hours I’d love toregale you with stories about the trip. Jim

Clarkinvited any members who would like to continue touring and/or be involved in a club to join us. Clark also talked about the recentautomobile accident involving a 1931 Model A car in which both people were killed. The couple were members of the Santa Anita A’s andthe cause of the tragic accident is still under investigation. However the media gave the accident quite a bit of coverage because an old carwas involved but Clark wanted to assure members that our cars are safe.We will be looking to replace several members for the 2016 & 2017 board of directors as several members are finished with their two yearterm. Please consider helping our club thrive by running for the board.Tonight we are starting our dues collection for next year. The dues remain the same at $31.00 which includes $5.00 for the ACCC.The White Elephant sale was a great success and we raised $867.00 for the club.
