WVSR Membership Meeting
February 3, 2015
The meeting was called to order by President Dave LeCompte at 7:00 pm, followed by everyone reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance.
There was a Carousel Cruise questionnaire placed on the tables, one for everyone to complete and turn in at the end of
the meeting. The membership roster and cookie sign-up sheet were also passed around during the meeting.
Jim Palmquist introduced visitors in attendance at the meeting; Terry Fristad, who owns a ’67 VW and a ’67 Nova, and
Israel Tamayo, who doesn’t yet own a classic car, but said that he is a painter.
OFFICER REPORTS
President (Dave LeCompte): Dave told about seeing a bright yellow ’59 Cadillac in the Lowes parking lot. The top was cut
off the Cadillac and there was a grand piano sitting where the engine used to be, which would spin while the piano was
being played by Bobby Freeman (Spirit of America). The car was attached to a giant lift on a trailer, which is raised during his performances.
Vice President (Nicolle Geck): Nicolle let the ladies know that Sandy Stogsdill offered her café (home) as the location
for the first Classy Chassis meeting. The meeting will be on February 20, from 12:00-3:00. It will be a potluck luncheon,
so please bring something to share with the group. The group will brainstorm ideas for group activities and a design for
the Classy Chassis jacket. She also let everyone know that there is a tab on the club Facebook page for the Classy Chassis.
Secretary (Heather Bethel): Nothing to report.
Treasurer (Paul Geck): Paul gave a detailed accounting of the club’s finances.
Membership Chair (Jim Palmquist): Jim sent around the membership roster again so that members can make corrections to it. A new roster will be out in March. He also reminded everyone to pay their 2015 dues; 33 members have not
yet paid.
Newsletter Editor (Ken Parsons): The newsletter is out. J
Website (Garry Pullen): Garry was not able to be at the meeting. Dave L. said that James Sorrels is now helping Garry
with the website. Six members have paid their dues online. There are tabs on the club’s Facebook for both the Carousel
Cruise and the Classy Chassis, and Garry is also looking into the possibility of being able to order our shirts online.
Social Chair (Dave Cartwright):
Congratulations to Sherri Cartwright, who happily was able to retire last Friday. Congrats, Sherri!! J
The annual Rust Ball, sponsored by the Cherry City Bombers, will be on Saturday, February 7, at Duffy’s Hangar. It
starts at 7:00 pm and the cost is $10 per person. There will be three bands there this year and should be a lot
of fun, so hope to see a lot of our members there.
Our next volleyball match against the Rollin’ Oldies will be on Saturday, February 28, at 6:00 pm at the Lebanon Boys
and Girls Club, which is located at 305 S. 5th Street. Please arrive by 5:30 we can get a little bit of practice in
and don’t forget to bring something for yourself to drink and finger food to share. Both players and spectators
are welcome and encouraged to come; the more the merrier. J
Our annual trip this year will be in August for the Flashback Cruise to Bend. More info to follow as it becomes available.
Member at Large (Dayle Langley):
Dayle asked if the audit had been done yet. Paul said that it should be finished by the next meeting.
Can/Bottle Recycling (proceeds for A-Team) - Dayle brought more green bags for can/bottle recycling to tonight’s
meeting. Anyone that brought filled bags can bring them to her car after the meeting.
Club Cookbook – Linda Renner, one of our newest members, has volunteered to collect the recipes and will put together our club cookbook.
Gene Kuschnick thanked everyone that showed up at the Salem Tools shop tour this past Saturday. It was lots of fun
and there were a lot of really nice trucks. J
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Member Care (Vicki Champ): Only one card was sent out this month to Wayne Andrews and Karla Smith, whose 20 year
old daughter passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time
Historian (Pam Foster): As usual, Pam made sure that everyone with a birthday this month was wished a very enthusiastic happy birthday Thank you, Pam, for always making everyone feel special. J
A-Team (Jeff Foster): Jeff has flyers for the Cherry City Bombers annual Rust Ball, which is on February 7 at Duffy’s
Hangar. The A-Team meets every Thursday at 5:30 at CJ’s Hot Rod Shop. They have two cars to work on and anyone is
welcome to join the; whether to help work on the cars or just to socialize.
Scholarship (Don Erickson): Joseph Warren was the 2014 scholarship winner. He will be invited to attend next month’s
membership meeting. Don talked to the Finance folks and found out that the current account balance is $457. It costs
$2,000 to fund one term and $4,600 to fund three terms. Money to cover a scholarship used to be included each year in
our budget, but it has somehow dropped off the budget. Our club normally funds a scholarship for one term each year
there is someone eligible for the award. Don said that if there is no money in the account to support a 2016 scholarship
it won’t be listed on the scholarship form or in the school’s advertisement. Ernie Lamoureux made a motion to fund the
scholarship on an annual basis for enough to cover one term, or $2,000. Dayle Langley seconded the motion. There was a
lot of discussion and questions that were brought up; (1) should we fund the scholarship on an annual basis, (2) should we
vote to fund enough to cover this year only (approximately $1,543), (3) what happens if there’s not enough in the account, and (4) does the scholarship take precedence over charities? After all of the discussion, Ernie withdrew his motion and Russ Strohmeyer recommended that the subject be taken to the Board for their suggestions and then brought
back to the membership next month to vote on. All agreed on that course of action.
SACC (Greg Smith): Dates to remember: March 7-8 - Salem Roadster Show; April 18 - Cherry Blossom Run; July 19 All Pickup Show, sponsored by Flywheels, for ’79 and older pickups.
OLD BUSINESS
By-Laws: Dave L. said that, after discussion at the recent Board Meeting, it was decided that there will not be
a dues increase. He also said that Heather Bethel is looking over the wording and formatting of our club by-laws. Once
she has re-organized and reformatted them she will bring copies of both the current and the reformatted by-laws to the
Board for an initial review before being brought to the membership.
Carousel Cruise 2015: Committee will be meeting every month at 6 pm just prior to Officer’s Meeting. Everyone is welcome to join the committee. They will be updating the sponsor form. The letter with the tax ID and receipt will be
ready at the next meeting. Warren Horne asked if members would please remember to fill out and turn in the questionnaires that were on the tables. It was suggested that a letter of presentation with the club’s mission would be helpful to
have when approaching sponsors.
Shirts: Vicki Champ said she needs a minimum of 24 pieces to place an order. That can be a combination of tshirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies. They come in two colors; black and heather gray. Delivery time is 2-3 weeks.
John Stanton thanked Pam for the birthday card. He also wanted to thank Dayle for the article she wrote in the current
newsletter about the “old” guys. He suggested that another article topic could include photos of the founding fathers
with the cars they owned in the 1970-1975 timeframe.

Salem Tool Shop Tour
The group was supposed to meet at Hometown
Buffet for coffee before heading out to the tool
shop, but I guess I forgot to read the memo
about the time, because I was an hour early. I
thought I had missed the boat or something like
that, so I decided to go down to the shop and
see who might be there.
When I arrived, there was a fella taking down
the chain to open the business for the day. No
hot rods! I was the only car-person there. A
shiny, red, new Camaro entered the lot and
parked way in the back. I thought perhaps it was
someone from another club, but in fact it was Patrick Russell, the owner. I confessed that I was way off on my
time, but he assured me the tour was on. I asked if he would let me take a picture of him by his sign for the
newsletter, and so we did. Then he said “Well, come on in, I will give you a personal tour!” I was thrilled that he
would even consider it. He unlocked the door and I
followed him on in. While Patrick turned on the
lights and did the opening routine, I was busy snapping some pictures of just odds and ends of garage
stuff.
“OK he said, this is my job, tools!’” I glanced around
and sure enough, lots of tools. Some of the tools on
the wall were huge! I snapped some more pictures
of…tools…, until Jim motioned me to follow him into
the back. I was anxious to see what it was that
Gene and Sally were so impressed with, not that I
don’t like tools mind you. We entered the warehouse, then he led me to a single entry door. Taking
the key out of his pocket and unlocking the door he
continued speaking like the distance between the
tool counter and the little door had not occurred.
“And this is my hobby, toys! Trucks to be exact!”
When I entered the rooms that were
behind the little door, I was taken
aback. There were trucks everywhere!
On the walls, shelves, tables. To my
left was a lighted display case filled
with toy creations, and atop it more
intricate trucks, some with rigging. I
could not count the number of trucks I
was seeing. Each of the trucks were
about 22 “(give or take), and very
heavy I would discover. They were
made to look like a variety of 18 wheelers from flat beds with crushed cars
on them to pick-up trucks towing trailers. One in particular was painted pink
for a special rendering. Then Patrick
showed me what he called the mold. It
had been in existence since 1927, and had been the mold used on all these specialty trucks. I could see the light
in his eyes as he spoke. He told me the parts are all made in separate places and then assembled here. They are
sent to all parts of the world, and cost anywhere from $500 to $1200. “So you could make a living just selling
trucks” I said. Immediately Jim looked at me and said “Then it would be a job, and it wouldn’t be fun anymore!”
I was shown his first truck, a gift from
his wife. I really wish I had paid more attention to detail so I could tell you who
makes what, and more about the die, but I
was very much in awe of what I was seeing.
If you get down there on Lancaster near
the theaters, stop in and ask Patrick if he
would mind to show you his trucks, I know
what the answer will be, and if you are
looking for tools, he has them too!
I thanked him for his hospitality, and we
went back outside. It was then he spotted
“BB”, my 55 Studebaker truck. We chatted for another 15 minutes about her, but
finally said our goodbyes. I thanked him for the opportunity to visit. As we stood there, I noticed a bench with
some old fire-fighter, logger type equipment or miners stuff, and asked if I could take a picture. He said “What
do you want a picture
of that old stuff for?”
I told him I like that
sort of art, and when I
showed him the photo,
he was astounded. He
said I could make a living at that, and I said
“Then it would be a job
and take the fun out of
it!” We laughed, and I
promised to give him a
copy if the photo.
Thanks Gene and Sally,
you were right, it was a
wonderful shop tour! I
bet if you headed his
way and asked to see
the toys, he would be
more than happy to
show you too!

In January (2015) Kathy and I had the opportunity of traveling to Ecuador and Peru where we spent most of the
month traveling thru these countries with a small tour group. When traveling outside the US, I am always looking
for American made cars that may be sitting in yards or driving on the roadways.
In Ecuador, I did spot a '57 Chevy pickup sitting in the grass
next to a hut in a small village. It didn't look too bad, but I
doubt it will see the road soon as it was in a very poor part of
the country. Speaking of Ecuador, Chevrolet (has 41% of the
market) and Toyota each have assembly plants on the north
edge of Quito, the capital city of 2.8 million people. Consequently, you will see a good number of Aveos, Sparks, Yaris
and Corollas cars driving around; KIA's and Hyundai's were
also seen. Most of them are the sub-compact models. While
visiting the site of 00 Latitude (center of the Northern &
Southern Hemispheres and the closest point to the Sun) we
did see an old Dodge flatbed in the parking lot that was fixed
up as a party bus used during the Carnivals'.
The main export of Ecuador is heavy crude oil and as a result,
gasoline prices were reasonable (to us) at $1.20 per gallon for regular gas
and $1.03 per gallon for diesel. The government controls these prices so
they were pretty much the same throughout the country, including Peru.
Now that may seem cheap to us, but remember that the average wage in
these countries is around $3,200.00 per year. So amongst the smaller cars,
you will see a lot of motorcycles and three-wheel vehicles being used for
transportation. In downtown Quito, I did see a restored? 70's Ford pickup
sitting along the street.
Generally, the main roads are narrow
and paved but with no shoulders or
guard rails. Traffic speed is generally
controlled by intermittent speed
bumps across the road every five miles
or so. You can be going along at 50 MPH and suddenly there will be a sign
warning of a speed bump ahead, so you have to
slow down to a crawl or go airborne!! Makes
travelling interesting!
We stayed several days in Lima, Peru-a city of
around 12 million-that is located along a desert
coast along the Pacific Ocean. While touring
the city, we did see a new Camaro and Dodge
Challenger driving around the city, but American cars-as we know them-appear to be
far and few to be found.
One afternoon we left the hotel and walked to a nearby park that overlooked the
ocean as we wanted to watch the surfers and other activity occurring down on the beach. Suddenly, Kathy pointed down to the parking lot and said 'Look at that!'. I managed to get a
photo and later determined it was
a Model A sedan that was leaving
the lot. It looked like someone
had fixed it up as it had 50's
Chrysler style chrome wire wheels
and looked really nice from where
we stood! So even in third world
countries, hot rodding is alive!

It is a secure payment through paypal, however, you do NOT need a paypal accoun to use it. Just click on the button and renew your dues with your credit or debit card. Keep in mind there is a $1
