He was battling cancer for more than a year. He was up in Orland so we didn’t see much of him and his cars. I visited him on my way down from the OCA Nationals in 2005. He was a good guy and will be missed. See back cover for his obituary. The Zone show was a success by all measures. Jon Manji did an outstanding job as show chair and So-Cal kept the ball rolling with their part. Mike Izzo wrote a summary of the show for their newsletter and I was able to put most of it here on page 13. Member Lyle Burgess had his shop, Rare Parts, make a half dozen metal cutouts of our logo and donated them to our club. We were able to thank him at the banquet and gave one to Jon Manji for his outstanding recent efforts. We also recognized Dave and Pat Kennedy for their consistent years of support to our club with an award. Thanks again! We have new OCA Pacific Southwest Zone Directors elected and both from our chapter. Jon Manji and now Dan Haggerty. Congratulations to both. Jerry Wilson was reelected OCA President. I look forward to a progressive and cooperative OCA in the coming years. Our next general meeting will be in Manteca at a restaurant then off to a tour of the Manteca History Museum by none other than our own Alan and Jeanie Marsden as guides. Should be fun! President, Larry Ewing Editor’s Note I have put a application for the Portal Park Show and I encourage all to go. The cut off is June 28 so not much time to respond. See page 6 for details. We also have the flyer insert for Micke Grove Annual Show and the show has a new format with more time to socialize and less car prep work. Read it over and be there! Also in this issue is the Nor Cal Technical Library list of which we have added a few new books. see pages 13-14.

Right and above was our welcome party held on the deck over looking the Pacific. Above Elaine Haggerty, Jon, Manji, Linda and Larry Ewing and Dan Haggerty. 12 Below is a excerpt from the So Cal Club newsletter that Mike Izzo wrote about our joint venture Zone Show In no time at all we were pulling our Oldsmobiles into the spacious parking lot at the Seacrest Hotel in Pismo Beach. Better than valet parking in Beverly Hills, Jon Manji and Larry Ewing were already working the show field greeting early arrivals and directing drivers to their day-of- show parking spots. Their preemptive efforts completely eliminated the usual Keystone Kops, Saturday morning, rearrange-the-lot, fire drill. Thanks guys for all your thoughtful planning and hours of dedicated service. It was now time to check-in to the Seacrest and check-out the facility. What a beautiful location. Perched on a bluff, overlooking the Pacific, our So Cal members picked a winning hotel to host The 30th Annual Pacific Southwest Zone Show. Each member that I spoke with found well-appointed rooms, comfortable bedding and clean surroundings. Beachside rooms overlook beautiful gardens, the pool and hot tub area and an endless pristine beach. Hats off to the Hotel Selection Committee for picking the Seacrest. Also, a big thank you to Grant and Karon Warner for organizing and hosting a relaxing Friday Night Welcome Party complete with pizza and drinks for everyone. Walking the show field on Saturday was a trip back in time. From Joe’s 1940 to Stu and Patricia Overholtzer’s modern Cutlass Convertible, almost every era of modern Oldsmobile history was represented by a quality example. I would be hard pressed to locate anything lower than a 900 point car. What a nice cross section of Oldsmobile’s finest years. Car owners that I spoke with were enthusiastic, friendly, conversant and willing to share restoration tips, parts sources and techniques. Above and beyond the great cars, the extensive literature displays and the club spirit items, is the chance this show gives members to renew old friendships. We were able to connect with several Nor-Cal members who we haven’t seen in years. The awards banquet was conveniently held just across the parking lot at Marie Callender’s. Refreshments flowed during a festive Happy Hour as members filled the room with laughter, conversations and car show stories. High marks to the Nor-Cal folks for cooking up the “donation in lieu of an award” program. Every trophy “not purchased” equates to a sizable donation to the REO Museum in Lansing. Great idea! The 30th Annual Pacific Southwest Zone Show is now in the books as a complete success. If you missed the show this year, mark your 2015 calendar and enjoy a Central Coast weekend with your Olds Club friends.

Send the check to Treasurer Dan Haggerty and pick up the book from Larry Ewing in San Jose or at the next club function. 15 Out and About with Oldsmobiles These cars were spotted at Goodguys June Summer Gathering in Pleasanton. The black ‘50 88 convertible at right was not for sale and belonged to Gary Cedoline of Pleasanton. Everything else was for sale! I didn’t call any of these folks as I sometimes do to see if they are still for sale but if interested call the numbers. 16 This brass honeycomb radiator was at the swap meet and was beautiful. It would make a great wall hanging or if you happen to have a 1913-15 Oldsmobile. The guy wanted $300, which took it out of my wall hanging limit but if interested I have his number. 925-9181393, ask for Rick Muto Blue Angel-Project 4 Last issue I did a page on my ‘50 Olds project 4 car.
