NOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT By Ed Halpin, PPCC Prez
Hello PPCC Crew!! Well, even though the calendar doesn’t yet re-flect it, summer really is in full swing. With all of the car shows, rallies, and get togethers, it’s a great time to have a Cor-vair! Before we know it, it’ll be October, and the snow and cold weather will be back, so I would encourage everyone to finish your projects as soon as possible, get those Vairs either out of the gar-age or back on the road, and have some fun. Over the last month, we’ve enjoyed a great time at Monument Lake with the Fish-ing Cruise, as well as a fantastic Tri-State down in Chama, NM. The CNM group really did a bang-up job in hosting this year’s event.
Next year, the Tri-State will be held in beautiful Durango, Colorado, hosted by the Rocky Mountain CORSA club. We know the RMC will do a great job in putting that together, and the PPCC will once again shoot to win the traveling Attendance/Participation Award. Upcoming for June is the PPCC Rally & Poker Run. Kelina (your Webmaster) and I have put in a lot of time and effort to make this a fun and enjoyable event for the Club. Unfortunately, last year’s event was can-celled due to zero participation. To ensure that doesn’t happen again, this year I’ve in-vited several other local car clubs to partici-pate, so come out and have a nice drive. You just might win the big prize! See you all on the road, and thanks for your continued support, and Drive safe!! Ed

PPCC FISHING CRUISE & PICNIC Monument Lake, CO
Saturday, May 17th turned out to be a fantas-tic day for some early morning fishing and a heck of a nice Club BBQ. Cheryl and I started out from Castle Rock around 6:30am to ensure we had a chance to claim a good picnic spot on the lake, for later on in the day. Earlier in the month, I had called the town of Monument to see what the process was for reserving the picnic areas and they said there was no process, first-come, first-served, so we made sure we were there early.
The early morning weather was “brisk”, but it did warm up quickly. As the lines went in the water, bets were made on who would pull out the first fish, who would have the big-gest, and who would wind up catching the most.
As we got started, David & Mary Ellen pulled up, and were quickly in the water as well (their fishing
lines, not them specifically)
First Lines in the Water!! Cheryl (l) and Darren (r) braving the chilly morning,
just waiting for the fish to bite!.
Both earlies and lates made the drive out to Monu-ment Lake. Cheryl Halpin drove the ‘60, Ed drove a ‘67 sedan, Darren Darnell brought his beautiful blue
convertible, and Nancy Feldman rounded out the bunch with her maroon coupe!

Ed Halpin
It wasn’t too long before we found out who would catch the first fish; Cheryl!! A nice Brown Trout, measuring in at 13”, caught on a bobber line with a live worm. Darren said it looked like it weighed in at about 35 pounds. We decid-ed that was a fair as-sessment, so we logged the catch and kept on fishing. Club VP Randy Karl hit the shoreline with us, but didn’t drop a line due to no license on hand. Webmaster Kelina also graced us with her presence and hu-mored Mom and Dad with holding a pole, but wasn’t fishing either since she hadn’t picked up a license, and generally doesn't like to touch worms. The lake was now filling up with other an-glers, and it was funny to see the other folks switching from their lures to bobbers after Cheryl caught her first fish. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this was going to be the trend for the morning. (continued on pg. 5)

(continued from pg. 4)
It didn’t take long for the next fish to be on the line. Once again, it was Cheryl bringing in the catch, this time it was a 10” Rainbow Trout.
And so this went on for the rest of the morning. Cheryl casting, catching a fish, us watching her do her little happy dance, and then do-ing it again. With the writing on the wall, several of us hit the cooler and cracked a couple beers or sodas and just enjoyed the scenery.
As the fishing time was winding down, we fired up the grill and got to cooking lunch. Our resident “Grill Sergeant” Randy was raring to go with spatula in hand. On the menu this day were hot dogs and hamburgers, chips and salads (both macaroni and potato), as well as drinks, all pro-vided by the Club for those in attendance. We had a quick meeting to take care of Club business, and provide reminders for a number of the upcoming events. Then it was time for the fishing awards!
(l) Kelina Halpin was in good spirits. (r) Ed just kept wondering how Cheryl was catching fish when he
was fishing right next to her with nothing.

Congratulations!! For her outstanding angling efforts, Cheryl is awarded with a brand new car!! She also took home additional prizes, including a
First aid Kit and some shop rags.
(l) Randy did a great job in making sure we all had our fill of dogs and burgers. (r) Darren was all
smiles, even though there were no fish in his bucket.

Closing out the afternoon, it was clear that everyone had a fun time. It was great to see Nancy and her grandson Austin drive up in her Monza. Knowing she had been having issues with fuel system, it was good to see the car, and her, back on the road. Since that event, I know that David & Mary Ellen have been back down to the lake fishing, and it’s on Cheryl and my short list for this month’s things to do. Thanks to all who had the chance to come out. For those of you who missed it, mark the calendars for next year, cause we’ll be back out there, with a unified goal to BEAT CHERYL!!
Buh Bye!! See ya next year!!

As recently as a few years ago, John Fitch still entertained thoughts of putting his Fitch Phoenix sports car into production. He asked people on the streets whether the design still had its appeal, and he believed any modern front-wheel-drive drivetrain would work well in it. Those dreams apparently died with Fitch in 2012, however, and his Phoenix went on the auc-tion block last weekend, and beat its estimate, sell-ing for $253,000, including premiums.

A HEADS UP ON OBTAINING NEW COLLECTOR TAGS
Sounds like there is a new process at the Col-orado DMV, in respect to getting a new set of Collector series plates, so Steve Goodman want-ed to share his recent experience with us all so we wouldn’t be caught off guard: “… interesting issue in April, I had to apply for new plates on the ‘68 and transfer from Ruth. Motor vehicle told me the collector plates would be mailed to me, as the only plate kept on the shelf is now the green/white plate. "Activation" instruction would be included too. Plates ar-rived and delivered by UPS and left on my front porch in plain sight all day. Needless to say any-one can steal the plates and activate and place on their car in my name. This is statewide.” [Steve Goodman] Thanks for the heads-up, Steve. I need to pick up tags for the ‘64 here next week, so I’ll at least be prepared for the process. Ed

Most of you may have heard by now that John Dawson (President of the RMC Club) and his wife Karen lost their son, Shawn, on May 14th. Shawn was only 28 years old at the time of his passing. As the Dawson family continues to deal with this tragic event, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

30th TRI-STATE CORVAIR MEET, Chama, New Mexico
This year’s Tri-State, hosted by the Corvairs
of New Mexico crew, was a huge success! For
those of you who didn’t have the opportunity to
attend, please use this
recap to see what you
missed, and make
your plans now for
next year’s event, to
be held in beautiful
Durango, Colorado.
Our drive down to
Chama was unevent-
ful, which was fine
with me as the Hard
Luck Award is not
one that I aspire to
receive.
The ‘67 4-door
ran fantastic, and I
used the trip as an
opportunity to check
out the gas mileage;
we averaged 26 mpg
going down and al-
most 30 mpg on the
way back. I guess
going north was actu-
ally going down hill.
Patricia & Garrie Fox
As we pulled in to
the host hotel, around
11am Friday morn-
ing, there were al-
ready a dozen or
more cars in the park-
ing lot.
John Wiker met us
in the hospitality
room, got us regis-
tered quickly, and
filled us in on the
scheduled events. It was clear that the CNM
folks had put as lot of work into making this a
weekend to remember. Baked goodies lined the
wall, and the sales
area for T-shirts was
organized and ready
for business.
Dave Huntoon,
and Tarmo Sutt, the
President and VP of
CNM made it a point
to touch base with us,
to ensure we had eve-
rything we needed.
It’s the personal
touches like that
which really make
you feel welcome. Cheryl & Kelina Halpin

30th TRI-STATE CORVAIR MEET, Chama, New Mexico (cont.)
Many of us finished off Friday evening by
having dinner and drinks at the local saloon,
which happened to have live music that night.
Saturday’s
car show was
great. 36 Cor-
vairs were on
display, with
several that we
hadn’t seen
before, includ-
ing Jim Reich’s
2-door wagon.
Seven different car clubs were represented this
year, and as expected, the PPCC had a respecta-
ble number of folks on hand (18).
After the car show, there were a couple tour
options offered. We
opted for the Tierra
Wools Factory tour
(picture at the top of
the page) where we
were introduced to
the wool weaving
process, from start to
finish. An impres-
sive operation, and
extremely informa-
tive. At the conclu-
sion of the tour, I
was asked by our
tour host if they could
see the cars. Never
one to miss chatting it
up, I gave the four
folks a quick tour of
the Vairs, and then we
were off to the next
adventure.
The banquet was
entertaining and the
food was excellent.
Russ McDuffie did a
bang-up job as the
event’s MC. Great
Job Russ!! We had a
couple guest speakers
from the town coun-
cil, and then on to the
awards. For a full
recap of all of the
awards, you can
check out the CNM
site page and look
under the “Tri-
States” link.
There are a cou-
ple awards that I’d
like to call out here,
one being a special
attendance award to
Steve Goodman.

30th TRI-STATE CORVAIR MEET, Chama, New Mexico (cont.)
Steve Gongora of CNM, have the unique distinc-
tion of being the only two individuals who have
attended all 30 Tri-State gatherings. Congratula-
tions Steve & Steve!!
Ruth Good-
man was also
recognized for
her many con-
tributions to
the Tri-States
over the years.
It’s clear that
Ruth is very
much missed
by everyone
who knew her.
The winner of the traveling Attendance Tro-
phy was no surprise, won by the CNM club
(picture at the top of the page), with PPCC com-
ing in 3rd, again. We really need to rock the at-
tendance next year in Durango so we pick up that
award! For 2016, if we hosted he Tri-State in
Colorado Springs, do you think we’d have
enough people in attendance to win?
While he didn’t win the overall Long Distance
award, PPCC members John Hesco and family
made their annual trek from Greybull, Wyoming.
This year, John and his wife were accompanied
by his daughter and grand-daughter. A great
looking family of three generations!
The Boydston
Award was present-
ed to Mr. John
Wiker in recogni-
tion of his love of
the hobby living the
values tied to that
prestigious award.
Since I’m a
member of all three
clubs (PPCC, RMC, and
CNM), I was caught a little
off guard when called from
my seat by Rita Gongora to
come up and receive my
commemorative sombrero,
and do the happy dance as
part of the Club’s initiation.
That was lots of fun!!
The ride home involved
picking up a freshly pur-
chased ’64 Spyder, but
that’s a story for another
newsletter. Thanks all
for a Great Weekend!!!

Unless you fabricate your own car parts, most every person involved with the Corvair hobby has, at one time or another, reached out to Clark’s Corvair Parts. As luck, and planning would have it, while in Massachusetts last month visiting family, a couple of our newest members, Larry & Dayna Breault, made a trip over to the beautiful hamlet of Shelburne Falls, home to Clark’s warehouse and shops. They were nice enough to text me, with a cool photo of Larry out front of their place. Maybe I can convince them to share their thoughts on the trip in one of the upcoming Drip Lines. Safe travels Larry & Dayna!! Thanks for thinking of us while on the road.
