Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a great

Thanksgiving Day. What a great Country we

live in. We have a national holiday to pause to thank GOD for this

Country and His many blessings.

The Club had a great month with our annual Pie Supper and

Auction. I want personally thank everyone for making it a huge

success. This allows the Club to have dinners, furnish refreshments,

buy flowers and enables other Club activities.

The trip to OSU Okmulgee, with the Thanksgiving Dinner at the

Culinary Arts Cafeteria, as well as the walk-through of the automotive

classrooms and garage was awesome. Thanks Linda and Ken!

We are looking forward to the Christmas Party on December

15th

. It will be at Uncle Buck’s Grill, at Bass Pro in Broken Arrow (see

separate article for details).

This is my last President’s Message. I want to thank all of you

for allowing me to serve as your President for the past two years. I wish

the new Board and officers the best and am looking forward to the

future for a great time with the Model A Club. I wish everyone a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

May the Ford be with you,

Don Reed



1000 Mile Club by Roy Cail

For those participating in the 2012 1000 Mile Club

program, I will be collecting final odometer

readings no later than Wednesday, December 12.

This timeframe provides an opportunity to capture

your mileage from the Christmas parades.

However, if you do not plan on participating in the

parades, feel free to provide your odometer reading

earlier. Our plan is to present the dash plaques at

the January meeting. We have 23 members

registered to participate in this program for 2012.

If you have questions please contact Roy Cail at

918-299-5691 or [email protected] . Please submit

your final odometer readings via email or in writing

if possible.

Nuts & Bolts (or Miscellaneous Tidbits!) by Ken Brust

Our Club kicked off November in fantastic fashion

with breakfast in Coweta, followed by a poker run

around Fort Gibson Lake and the Wagoner area.

We had 10 cars participate in the scenic poker run,

but had even more folks at breakfast who couldn’t

make the drive afterwards. If you missed it, you

missed a good time! Many thanks to Margaret and

Bob Soper for organizing this. We finished the

drive with a nice lunch together, before heading

home. Two cars (Tory & I, along with Jerry Conrad

& Linda Ochs) headed for Claremore where we

were joined by J.D. & Joann Sampley and Bud &

Tonya Biesemeyer, to participate in the Will Rogers

Day Parade. Since Daylight Savings Time had not

changed yet, we all made it home before dark. We

drove 146 miles and had a super Model A day!

The Club participated in the Veterans’ Day Parade,

also in Claremore, where we had 9 cars and 17

folks. It was nice to see Charlie Ramsey back in

action following his back surgery. Sam was home

waiting for the stork to arrive, so Charlie offered

Ralph a ride since both of Ralph’s Model A’s were

too sick to drive. Ralph, sounds like you need a

third Model A as a spare! Tory and I invited a

neighbor to ride with us who was a POW in Korea.

He was thrilled to join us! Tory was in her Model

A era outfit and walked the entire parade route

holding a sign that read: THANKS VETS. It was

great to see the large crowd out on a nice, fall day to

show their gratitude to all veterans. (By the way,

Sam had a little girl! Congratulations to all the

Ramsey family!)

About 25 of us drove to Okmulgee to dine at the

annual feast prepared by the amazing culinary

school. None of us left hungry! Following the

feast, many of us toured the automotive programs.

The innovative programs there offer a win-win

solution to students, manufacturers, sponsors and

school. It was another perfect Model A day with

good friends, food, tour and weather! Some of the

gals started fading during the tour, so maybe next

time we can schedule a tour of the culinary school!!

The annual chili supper and pie auction was a big

success. Everyone enjoyed tasting the various

goodies. Many thanks to Rodger who made it all so

much fun. Greg and Cheryl drove up in their A to

join us for chili and pie. Greg even won a nice

carburetor in a $5 raffle! They stayed overnight and

joined us for the Jenks Christmas Parade the next

morning. We had 11 cars in the parade and, as

always, were a big hit with the crowd. Everyone

had their cars decorated in the holiday spirit. Tom

Payne, a new member, also joined us in his nice

Sport Coupe.



I regret to report that Joann Sampley suffered a

heart attack shortly after the Will Rogers Day

Parade, but J.D. reports that she is now doing pretty

well. Also, Bud Biesemeyer called to report that

someone had broken into his garage and vandalized

his Model A by pouring paint and oil all over it

among other cruel acts. Please keep Joann and Bud

in your thoughts as they strive to recover from these

unfortunate incidents.

Happy Trails to you!

Ken

OSU Okmulgee Thanksgiving Buffet results.

The OSU Okmulgee Thanksgiving Buffet is history for this year. The food was excellent, the weather

fantastic. There were 23 members and 12 Model-A’s making the trip.

Attending were Benny & Loretta Benson, Ken Brust, Bob & Margret Soper, Rich & Donna

Robinson, Roy & Barbara Cail, Teresa Wilkerson, Jerry & Charlene Sloan, Jerry Conrad, Linda Ochs,

Rick Jensen, Harold & Virginia Helton, Kent & Jeannie Washburn, Don & Jesse Reed, and Marvin &

Linda Mellage.

Chili Supper & Pie Auction success.

Our club’s major fund raiser the Annual Chili Supper & Pie Auction were nothing less than a complete

success. Everyone was very generous with their donations and spending. The clubs finances are in good shape

going into the 2013 season. See another article in the newsletter for the auction results.

Also thanks to Jessie Reed, Virginia Helton, Connie Hudson, and Linda Mellage for preparing all

that fine chili and fixings; to Ollie Harris for providing the drinks; and a special thanks to Roger Johnson for

an outstanding auctioneer job and keeping the action lively.
