NAVISTAR DEFENSE OVERVIEW IS TOPIC OF SPRING LUNCHEON GUEST SPEAKER

Candace Tabor, pictured left, will be our guest speaker for the Spring Luncheon on May 12, 2010 at Drury Lane. She will be letting us know all about the new and exciting products and programs being worked on by Navistar Defense. Candace is Director, Finance for Navistar Defense. She has an MBA in Accounting from Roosevelt University and began her stellar Navistar career in 1988 as a Financial Analyst at Navistar Financial. After several years there, she joined the Mexico, Brazil and Export Truck and Parts Group as Manager, Financial Planning and Analysis where she was responsible for the Strategic and Annual Operating Plan development, analysis and consolidation for Truck and Parts Divisions.

For the past five years, Candace has played a huge leadership role in the success of the Navistar Defense Group in Strategic Planning and negotiations with the various domestic and foreign governmental agencies on product pricing and costs, ensuring that Navistar Defense received the maximum allowable revenue for our products. Her analysis and guidance of Navistar Defense has led the group to be recognized as an organization that can generate revenues and profits for Navistar for many years to come.

Pictured above are Thuralese Wilson and a group of Navistar retiree volunteers who got us into the Christmas spirit at the December 9, 2009 winter luncheon. They entertained us with a number of Christmas songs. You can see that they were enjoying it as much as we did.

Rudy and Liz Bernath traveled to London in September, 2009. They toured London with side trips to Stonehenge and Oxford, took, the bus to Dover and sailed on NCL cruise ship for the transatlantic trip—visiting Lerwich, Shetland, Iceland (Blue Lagoon), Halifax, Nova Scotia and finally New York City.

Richard Zilka reports that he and his wife Marie have a street named after them (in Chicago on Rutherford from 60th to 63rd street). Also, Representative Dan Lipinski put Richard on the Congressional Record in Washington, D.C. for his 80th birthday.

Bill McKinley, a 41 year employee, retired 2 years ago. Bill went back in 2008 to help with the Expo and will be going back again in 2010 to do the same thing. He and his wife, Jean, fulfilled a lifelong dream, traveling Route 66 from downtown Chicago to Santa Monica Beach, California in April. Bill says, “What a great trip. Anyone our age who hasn’t done it, Should! It goes through 8 states-each with its own terrains, climates and points of interest. It took a week and 2 days to go from Chicago to California.”

Tom Trueblood and wife Nancy let us know that they moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina last June to be close with their children and grandchildren.

Janis Schmelter attended the 61st Navistar women’s bowling tournament in Fort Wayne, Indiana and is still acting president of the tournament. She wants you all to know that the 62nd tournament will be held during May 2010 in Springfield, Ohio and all women, active and retired, are invited to participate---whether they are regular bowlers or not. Anyone interested in information about the women’s bowling tournament can call me at (847)755-0065. She also writes that getting her house ready to put on the market and visiting her 96 year old mother has kept her busy.

Melva Walker was on the Elmhurst Finance Task Force from July 15 through mid-October. But she

advises that the best thing for her was becoming a great-grandmother on May 7, 2009 –her name is Abigail Leah May, a real cutie!

Eileen Strong says I have stayed close to home. However I have done fairs, concerts and many weekend trips. I’m still involved with all my clubs, Secretary of the Women’s Federation of the 5th Congressional district, 1st VP of the Past President’s Club of DuPage, Recording Secretary of the Women’s Club of Hindale and President of the Hinsdale WC Garden Club. I enjoyed the NICARC summer outing with the games and would love to do it again.
