We headed out on I88 and then we traveled on the old Lincoln Highway (Rt 30). When we reached the Dutch Windmill in Fulton, we were greeted by Debi Ervin who is the Director of Tourism for Fulton. Debi was dressed in Dutch attire and went to each car to welcome the members to the Windmill. The block was closed for our cars to park in front of the Windmill, which made for great pictures.</span></span></span></div>

When we were finished with lunch, we then headed back over the River and had a leisurely drive down the Great River Road to Moline, Il. Our final destination for the day was the hotel (The Radisson on John Deere Commons).</span></span></span></div>

We headed back over the River to LeClaire, IA riding on the Great River Road of Iowa. We caravanned to the Buffalo Bill Museum. There we toured the Museum itself which is focused on not only Buffalo Bill but the life along the Mississippi River and local history of LeClarie. After our tour we headed up the hill to the Crane & Pelican for lunch. Our lunch was held in an old River Boat Captains home over-looking the River. Luckily the rain departed, and it just was cloudy as the afternoon was open for members to visit LeClaire and its shops, Antique Archeology (the American Pickers), Mississippi Distillery and or Wide River Winery. That evening we headed down the street to the Celebration Belle Paddlewheel Boat for the Captains Dinner Dance. We had two large tables with a buffet dinner and entertainment. The sun ended up peeking out as we set sail which made for a beautiful sunset.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Annual Johnsburg Parade</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #2f2e2e;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Light rain on Sunday morning, September 8, did not deter any of the 17 members who had signed up to drive their cars in the annual Saufen und Spiel Parade in Johnsburg. We met for coffee and baked goods at the home of Len and Mary Keil. The cars were lined up and we had a police escort to the parade staging area. The rain stopped before the parade began and the route was lined with lots of onlookers. The drivers and their Johnsburg Village officials tossed candy to eager kids of all ages. Following the parade, the drivers were given tickets for "adult beverages". A minor mishap involving a tractor and its flatbed added some drama to the afternoon. Back at the Keils' we enjoyed sloppy Joes, hot dogs, salads and other delicious foods prepared by Mary.</span></span><br />

We thank Mary and Len for all of the hard work they put in to making it a very enjoyable day. </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #2f2e2e; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">By Liz Werth</span></span><br />

Our parking was on the shady side of the parking lot. After many years of being active participants in the Thunderbird night, the CTCC Board voted to make a donation to the Mt. Prospect Lions Club in support of their efforts. Twenty-seven CTCCers and a few of their friends enjoyed delicious pizza, cold beverages and cookies while people admired the seven little birds and a couple of other classics from our club. We put up a tent but quickly took it down when the gusty wind threatened to carry it away. We missed quite a few "regulars" who had other obligations.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A group of us drove up to Roger Porep’s Car Collection & Memorabilia while some of the ladies stayed back on the farm to converse. The collection was made up of many cars, <span style="color: #2f2e2e;">trucks, tractors and motorcycles of various years. Some being restored and others waiting for the chance to come back to life. The car collection was nestled in the former Porep Dairy Farm and were stored in 4 large buildings with another building being built. The main dairy barn’s upper level was transformed into a memorabilia museum of old-time signs, clocks, cars, juke boxes, bars, ice cream station, and much more. It was truly amazing.</span></span><br />

Our leader, Lloyd, led the way through the fields where corn and soybean would grow and up to the hog/steer farm area. As we sat on the bales of hay in the wagon, Lloyd would make various stops and explain a little bit about the operations of the farm. When we returned, we dined on appetizers, Italian beef sandwiches, pasta and salads along with a variety of desserts.</span></span></div>

We certainly don’t want to get swelled heads, but the weather was near perfect. Saturday and Sunday were warm and sunny. Our activities for those days took place outside and, being we had no “plan B” if it rained, there were two very relieved trip leaders!</span></div>

Once done we cruised I-80 for about a half hour drive to the Herbert Hoover Museum. Inside the museum our group watched a 20 minute overview of Herbert Hoover’s life, presidency and life after the White House. Our docent, Matt, took questions and added quite a bit of historical knowledge. We definitely could have listened to him for hours. After a too brief look at the galleries, we took off for our Cedar Rapids Hampton Inn. </span></div>

The Ronneburg Restaurant allowed us to park in their event space. We had a prime front row to show off the T-Birds. After the shortest parade I think any of us have ever seen, the group went their separate ways to explore the town, wineries, and shops. And some more wineries. There was beer and oom-pah bands and beer and brats and more beer. The Millstream Brau Haus had a sunny deck, the best brats in town and, you guessed it, beer!. Afterwards, Everyone reconvened in the hospitality room for our Derby Party. Thanks to Kathy and Mary for being our mixologists and providing the mint juleps. </span></div>

Again, we had reserved parking thanks to Big’s BBQ and Brew. And again, it was warm and sunny.<br />Both the professional artists and the amateurs chalked very impressive works on the streets. Some of the works were so good it was hard to believe they were done in chalk. </span></div>

He is a Master 3 CTCI judge and has worked on 600 ‘55 – ’57 Thunderbirds. The first topic of discussion was adjusting transmission bands which must be done with the trans. out of the car. There is an access plate with the seat out of the car but this is insufficient.</span></span></div>

There is a steel plate on the front of the timing chain cover which mounts to a hole in the frame in front. The rear engine mount is to the transmission. ’55 and ’56 ‘Birds have two mounting holes offset, while ’57 has two holes next to each other. The ’57 needs a metal plate which sits on the frame. The rear engine mount is on the trans. bracket, same for ’55-’57 ‘Birds. The circle of the nut must be in the center of the hole in order to have the spacing correct. The steady rest bracket mounts on the frame and engine to take up torque. An extra washer with a lip is needed. The bracket should be adjusted with the nuts off, bottom raised up, then tightened. One inch play is needed in the steady rest mount. On the bottom of the steady rest the second washer centers in the hole. The spacing plate for the engine mounts is different on a Thunderbird from Ford passenger cars.</span></span></div>

The Illinois Region Model A Club provided donuts and coffee for the car enthusiasts who gathered at Baltria Vintage Auto Gallery where numerous antique automobiles were on display. It was a great Saturday morning and the eleven Model As and two TBirds toured together, the short distance, to Powermaster Performance. At Powermaster the owners led tours to view their starter, generator, alternator restoration and manufacturing plant. Approximately 56 members of the Classic Thunderbird Club, AACA, CAATS and Model A Restorers Club broke into small groups and toured the plant. Following the tour, most of the attendees congregated at Hawthorne’s Backyard Bar and Grill for a great post-tour lunch. </span></span></div>

A big thank you to Ken and Kathy Smizinski for planning the evening.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bert Eisenhour, 94, the last remaining founding member of our Club, died on March 3, 2018. Bert had not been involved in CTCC activities since he and Jane moved to Iowa in 2011, but he continued to produce Bird-News until July, 2017. Many of us spent some time with him at the Model A Restorers' Club Turkey Dinner in November last year. For those of you not familiar with Bert, here is a little history. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bert's love affair with the Thunderbird began in the fall of 1954 and when Ford added two new colors, Bert could resist no longer and a Goldenrod Yellow was his in May of 1955. Bert was hooked. In 1957 he traded in his '55 and bought a new Inca Gold '57 which he drove 160,000 miles even using it to participate in the Continental Divide Rally. His infatuation with Thunderbirds continued to grow. Finally, Bert owned two 1957 T-Birds, but his pride and joy was his Starmist Blue "E" 'Bird, which he bought from Roger Neiss in 1963 and drove to many international conventions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bert was one of the founders of CTCC. The first organizational meeting was held on August 28, 1961 and the first issue of the Club's newsletter was published in March of 1962. Bert was the editor of the newsletter, Bird-News, from September of 1970 until July, 2017. He devoted countless hours every month to writing and producing this indispensable heart of our organization. Bert's beloved wife, Jane, passed away on March 24, 2016. Staying true to his dedication to the Club, the April, 2016 issue of Bird-News was completed and in the hands of CTCC members on April 8.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1963 Bert helped arrange for CTCC to travel to Dearborn where the Ford Motor Company hosted a magnificent Thunderbird convention. This event set the stage for the first international CTCI convention held in Dearborn in 1964. Bert was the only CTCI member who attended every international convention in CTCI history. Bert was there at the start of CTCI. He often joked with Vic Take, the founder of CTCI, that he had doubts about its future, but he had faith and told Vic he wanted to be member number 500.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bert served on the Board of CTCI in the mid 1970s and he was President of CTCC in 1965-66. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1973, Bert was the first recipient of CTCC's "Alogna Award". The award honored a member who had willingly gone "above and beyond" to help fellow Club members. In 1998 Bert was again given the Alogna Award. The "Alogna Award" was then retired and the "Bert Eisenhour Award" was instituted in recognition of his tireless dedication and numerous contributions and efforts on behalf of CTCC. That award was retired in December, 2015 with Bert and Jane being the final recipients. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bert was the driving force behind many international and regional conventions held in Chicago including CTCC's 50th Anniversary Celebration of the introduction of the Thunderbird in 2005. Bert had a wealth of information about Thunderbirds and CTCC. He will be missed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Annual Holiday Party was held on December 2nd at the Alpine Haus Banquets in Westchester. Forty-three club members came out on a very balmy December night to celebrate. The festivities began that evening with hot appetizers and drinks as members were able to mingle before dinner. Following Happy Hour was a delicious dinner which consisted of soup, salad, Pork Tenderloin, Beef and Chicken along with potatoes and carrots. To finish off the meal was Almond Cake and coffee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Once again we
had fantastic weather for the Johnsburg Suafen und Spiel Parade on Sunday,
September 10th. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">By the way, the name "Saufen und Spiel" means "drink
and play". People gathered at the home of Len & Mary Keil to enjoy a
light breakfast of bagels, donuts, sweet roll and the legendary Joan Schellin
almond cake.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We had a variety of vehicles this year. Some of the participants had
help removing their Thunderbird car tops before heading out to the Parade. The
cars lined up and were led by a police car (with lights and siren) out of the
exit of the Keils' subdivision and all the way to the designated line-up spot.
While the cars were waiting for the Parade to start, the Parade watchers were
getting bloody Marys and finding a suitable spot to view everything.</span></div>

the cars carried <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Johnsburg</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Village</st1:placetype></st1:place> officials and
displayed magnetic signs. We were given mass quantities of candy to throw along
the route. All drivers agreed that this year the pace was slower than in the
past. So slow, in fact, that Len Keil's car overheated and he had to pull over.
The Parade ended at a field where the cars lined up for display. There were
also a few Corvettes in the field. The Village treated the drivers to liquid
refreshments. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Some of us discovered the band inside the meeting hall and enjoyed
a few quick dances before heading back to the Keils' for a delicious buffet
lunch featuring brats and hot dogs grilled by Larry Keil. Once the Bears' game
was over, people watched news of hurricane Irma in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:state> and were thinking of our many
members who have homes there. Finally, tops were replaced and we all headed
home. An enormous thank you to Len & Mary for coordinating and hosting this
event for the sixth year! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Sunday, August
6, Joan and Lloyd Schellin once again welcomed CTCC picnickers to their
beautiful Garden Prairie farm. The
weather was ideal. Two members drove their little 'birds while others came in
everyday cars as it had been pointed out that it was a picnic not a car show
and that the Sunday night traffic going home might be unpleasant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

All were delighted to see Paul and Urszula Mounts and Lee and Gina Bakakos who
were in town from their homes in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:state>!.
We also welcomed new member Sean Bickerton who brought armloads of diapers and
who fried up the most delicious homemade spring rolls for us to enjoy. Thank
you Sean!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

served again as chief pork chop and hamburger griller while Ken Smizinski and
Bob Sroka shucked the recently picked corn. The buffet tables held beans,
salads, rolls and melons. There were many dessert choices including Mary Keil's
delicious coconut cake of which Paul approved!</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2017 Spring Tour</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Galena ,Clear Lake ,Prairie Du Chien</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By Melinda Pritchett</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Despite questionable weather reports, we thought we might be in luck when 21 of us departed on Wednesday morning from the Belvedere Oasis. We had a nice ride to Galena where Dan Pritchett led the group for a tour of the U.S. Grant home. After lunching in town at Vinny Vanucchi Restaurant, the group checked out downtown Galena.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We ate dinner at our house in the Galena territory and celebrated Irene, Rose and Larrys birthdays. Dan and I felt the weekend was off to a good start when Karen, Len Vinyard, and Kathy got into the musical mood of the trip by marching around the room singing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Seventy-six Trombones from the Music Man.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The birds were ready to roll at 9AM and we slowly (Ken informed Dan that he was actually traveling about 10 mph slower than he thought) set out. After lunch, we arrived in Clear Lake and toured the Surf Ball Room. The Surf was made famous as the last venue where Buddy Holly played, but many other famous acts have appeared there over the years. Our hospitality room was open at 5, and we had a great dinner at the Surf District Restaurant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By Friday morning any hopes of nice weather were gone, and we skipped the trip to the crash site and went directly to Mason City. I think everyone enjoyed lunch at the Decker House and the subsequent tour of Meredith Wilsons childhood home and Music Man Square. We also toured a Frank Lloyd house and had a cocktail at another Frank Lloyd Wright building, the Park Inn Hotel. Dinner that evening was at the restaurant adjacent to the hotel, and I think everyone was glad to be out of the rain for a little while. We retraced our route Saturday morning back to Charles City and stopped at the Floyd County Museum. After all, what tour is complete without a visit to a Tractor Museum? We had hoped to lunch at the Barrel Drive Inn but the rain persisted so we made alternate plans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All visitors to Prairie du Chien stop at Villa Louis and so did we. It was an interesting story of the Dousman family. We checked into our hotel, had a great dinner at the Barn Restaurant and ended the night in our makeshift hospitality room. Sunday morning everyone started off for home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dan and I have run several tours in the past, but it was a little worrisome since we were new members. We were very grateful for the enthusiasm of the group, and could not get over the thank you notes and kind words we received when we got home. Rose and Ed even bought us dinner! It was a great way for us to get involved in this fun club!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> On January 29,
twenty-three people enjoyed excellent seating in the buffet room of Drury Lane
Oak Brook. The many offerings of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert items
certainly satisfied every craving. We
were seated at tables of eight and enjoyed lively conversation while we stuffed
ourselves. Following the meal, we made our way into the theater. After a little
skillful maneuvering (thank you, Kathy!), we were all seated near each other.
"Saturday Night Fever" was all it had promised to be. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year
fifty-two people attended the annual Holiday Party at Parkway Banquets in
Ingleside. We were seated at tables of
eight, all with great views of the "Year In Review" showing
continuously. Guests received bottles of wine and a copy of the "Year In
Review" DVD produced by Pete and Steve Kramer. The tables were decorated
with festive centerpieces. At each guest's
place was a cookie from "simply d'lish".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jim and Jane
Wilson arrived late as they had been rear-ended on their way. There were no
injuries but their car suffered damage. We are happy that they are ok. Gina
Bakakos came alone since Lee was still recovering from a nasty encounter with a
kidney stone. Lee and Gina have moved to Florida as of Dec. 12.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the
cocktail/hors d'oeuvres hour and the bountiful and delicious buffet dinner,
President Ken Smizinski made a few announcements and then Ken and Kathy drew
names for the door-prize raffle. Everyone went home with several gifts. In
addition to lovely poinsettias donated by the Burhops (who were unable to
attend the party), included in the raffle gifts were some oil filters for those
who depend upon them every year!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many thanks to
Ken and Kathy Smizinski for planning the party, obtaining the wine and oil
filters and many of the door prizes, to Pete Kramer and his son, Steve, for the
Year-In Review show and DVDs, to Liz and Bill Werth for the cookies and to all
those who donated items for the door prizes. It was a fun night in a beautiful venue
with good friends. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Earlier this year, CTCC received and invite to attend the 3rd Annual Turkey Dinner hosted by the Illinois Region Model A Restorers Club. A number of CTCC members signed up to join in on the festivities in Elburn, IL on November 6th. A glorious Sunday morning greeted members of the Model A Club and CTCC as they headed for the Elburn Lions Community Park noon </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">event. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We arrived to find 22-Model A Fords parked at the building, while the CTCC contingment was comprised of two '57s, a '56 and one Retro T-Bird. As we entered the Legion Hall, we were greeted by the members of the several Chapter Model A Clubs in attendance, and everyone was given a Fall inspired name-tag. Each of the 18-tables featured a decorative centerpiece, made up of Indian corn, gourdes, etc. While this outing was not an official CTCC calendar event, our T-Bird group enjoyed the </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">excellent dinner, as well as the chance to meet fellow Ford fans!</span></span></div>

Our table number was, of course, 18 the very last in the long list of 106 persons attending the dinner event! Raffle tickets were sold to those with a gambling spirit, providing the very lucky (Model A) winner with a windfall of $235.00! The delicious Turkey dinner was enjoyed by all, and the seemingly endless array of desserts (furnished by the members) left no </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">one complaining of hunger pangs.</span></span></div>

Belvidere Oasis on a bit of a chilly morning. Our tour leaders, Ed Levin and
Rose Kovalenko greeted all of us as they handed out our tour packet and
itinerary. There were 25 club members participating in the Fall Tour. As we
headed out, all 10 baby birds, 1 retro and 2 regular vehicles left the oasis en
route to the Sunrise Family Restaurant for lunch. After lunch, we all headed to
the Rockford Speedway. At the Speedway we all were able to pull onto the track
by the starting line. The owner of the Speedway, Judy Deery, greeted us and gave us a brief history of the
track. She spoke about how the track was
opened in 1948 and she and her husband bought a stake in it in 1959 and by the
mid 60's they became the sole owners .
The Speedway is one of the only sanctioned NASCAR tracks in Illinois
besides the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. It's an oval quarter-mile asphalt
track which hosts many races including figure 8 and demolition derbies along
with concerts and other events. Mrs. Deery said that she is still very active
in the day to day activities of the track along with her children. After she spoke and answered questions about
the track, the club members were able to get in their cars and take them around
the track several times. It was a fun
afternoon racing the baby birds, retro and others around the track. Many
pictures and videos were taken as the birds flew around the track, some
attempting the figure 8. After race day, we all headed over to The Garden Hotel
in South Beloit and settled in. The evening commenced with pizza, snacks,
drinks and great conversations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Saturday morning we all headed to the Rockford Auto
Museum which back in 1927 was Midway Motors. There we looked at many Muscle
cars that were on display by their owners, some of which were for sale. We then
walked over to The Wild Irish Rose for lunch and then as we walked back to our
cars, we had our picture taken by the mural outside of the Rockford Auto Museum.
In the afternoon we headed over to Roscoe, Illinois to the Historic Auto
Attractions Museum where as they say "History meets entertainment". There
we were able to go back in time, viewing many famous entertainers and world
leaders and their automobiles along with artifacts from various eras, wars and
events. In the evening we caravanned over to The Butterfly Club for dinner.
Club members Lloyd and Joan Schellin joined us there for dinner. After dinner
we headed back to the hotel. Some of us met back in the Hospitality Room for
more conversation and others retired for the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunday after breakfast and checking out we headed over
to the Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum. This cottage was built by Robert Tinker who
was inspired by his love of the architecture
of Switzerland. He built his Swiss Cottage in 1865 on a limestone bluff
overlooking the Kent Creek. After Robert Tinker and his wife Mary died, the
cottage along with all the original furnishings were left to the Rockford Park District to be used as a
museum. When the tour ended many of the club members headed home as others went
to lunch at Culvers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The weather was perfect on September 11 for the 44th Annual
Johnsburg Suafenund Spiel Parade. People gathered at the home of Len & Mary
Keil to enjoy a light breakfast of bagels, donuts, sweet roll and the infamous
Joan Schellin almond cake. Ken and Kathy Smizinski encountered a problem with
their Thunderbird and arrived in their Viper. Dan Mrozek drove his Mustang and
Bill Balogh drove his Cadillac. Some of the participants removed their
Thunderbird car tops before heading out to the Parade. Eleven cars lined up and
were led by a police car out of the exit of the Keils' subdivision. While the
cars were waiting for the Parade to start, the Parade watchers, including Ken,
were finding a suitable spot to view everything. All of the cars carried
Johnsburg Village officials and displayed magnetic signs. All cars were given
mass quantities of candy to throw along the route. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Parade ended at a field
where the cars lined up for display alongside a fleet of Corvettes. The Village
treated the drivers to liquid refreshments. After meeting up with the Parade
watchers, everyone went back to the Keils' for a delicious buffet lunch of beef
sandwiches, sausage and peppers, mostaccioli, potato salad, chips and several
desserts. Some watched football while others just relaxed. Taking part in this
year's Parade (or watching the parade) were: Dan & Karen Anderson, Bill
& Elaine Axelson, Lee & Gina Bakakos, Bill & Jane Balogh, Art Hahl,
Len & Mary Keil, Ed Levin & Rose Kovalenko, Dean & Beth Molburg,
Dan Mrozek & Arlene Figlia, Lloyd & Joan Schellin, Ken & Kathy
Smizinski, Bill & Liz Werth, and Jim Wilson. A huge thank you to Len &
Mary for coordinating and hosting this event for the fifth year! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We began gathering shortly after 4:00 Saturday, July 30, in
a parking lot north of the Metra lot in Mt. Prospect. Ken Smizinski had reserved parking spaces for
the TBirds in the lot with orange cones and water bottles. At 5:00 the lot opened and it was a scramble
to park together as the lot was filling up fast. When all were lined up, 21 little TBirds
parked in a row<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Two new members joined the Club at this outing: Trevlin Utz and Melissa drove a Peacock Blue 1956 with the top off and Tom and Donna Mazzola, not driving their TBird this
day. Members driving classic TBirds
included Dan Anderson, Lee and Gina Bakakos, Rich Blanchard, Gordon Gluff with
Mary Ziemba, Joel Greenberg, Art Hahl, Len and Mary Keil, Larry and Karen
Kelly, Ed Levin and Rose Kovalenko with grandson, Jerry and Doreen Michna,
Jerry and Pat Peterson, Dan and Melinda Pritchett, Lloyd and Joan Schellin, Ken
Smizinski, Len Vinyard, Bob and Sue Wenderski, Bill and Liz Werth, your scribe,

Gunmetal Gray 1957 which he just got running and wheel covers on after being
owned by Tom Han for many years. Pete
Kramer drove his Cashmere 2005 retro Bird.
Bill and Jane Balogh came in a 1946 Ford custom and Bob and Barb Sroka in
a 1964 Galaxie XL.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Music was provided by a rock band, Peabody and the
Waybacks. As we walked down the
assemblage of cars and trucks we came upon a birthday celebration for Gilbert
Wittmann who was having his 93<sup>rd</sup>.
Cake was being offered to all who walked by. Rich (no last name given) drove by in a 1957
Thunderbird fiberglass replica with two large dogs, a St. Bernard and a St.
Bernard/Mastiff mix. The club provided ample pizzas, including veggie pizza,
bottled water, and soft drinks. After the food line ended, Joel walked by the
seated group, offering more pizza!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">On August 6, Joan
and Lloyd Schellin once again welcomed CTCC picnickers to their Garden Prairie
farm. The 60 present began by enjoying appetizers, including a huge salmon caught
by Rose Kovalenko! Dan Mrozek, Jr. served again as chief pork chop and
hamburger griller while others shucked the just picked corn. The buffet tables held
beans, salads and fruits. No one could have possibly gone away hungry. There
were many dessert choices including Mary Keil's delicious coconut cake and champagne
cupcakes made by new member Melissa Kennedy. Melissa also brought collard
greens and corn bread which was something new and delicious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">There was no
actual business meeting, but Ken Smizinski thanked Lloyd and Joan for their
gracious hospitality and the group sang to those celebrating birthdays in
August. Ed Levin talked briefly about the Fall Tour that he and Rose are
planning. The weekend will be October 7 - 9. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Members
generously donated diapers, pull-ups and baby wipes. When they are repackaged,
the diapers and pull-ups will benefit 88 families. Thank you all for your
thoughtfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">As with the
set-up, many pitched in to help clean up. The leftover pop and water will be
used at future outings and tours. Thank you to Joan and Lloyd for hosting
another wonderful picnic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was a perfect evening for the
Downers Grove Cruise Night in Downtown Downers Grove. The featured cars for the
evening were "Thunderbirds". Members started arriving around 4pm at
Curtiss Street which is the designated area for the featured cars. Though Curtiss
Street is not closed down, parking spaces are saved as regular visitors leave.
Thank you to those who helped block spaces for our clubs t-birds. Our club had 16 thunderbirds participate, of
which 13 were baby birds. There were
also 10 other thunderbirds participating, some from other Chicago area
Thunderbird Clubs. Club members feasted on pizza from Angelo's as they were
able to mingle on the sidewalk by their cars. During the evening, some club
members walked around town viewing the
rest of the car show and or to shop in the stores. At the end of the evening the Car Show
Committee handed out a trophy for Best Featured Car. Congratulations to Judy Bruin whose t-bird won.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Spring Tour
started out with sun and cool weather. A
total of 34 anxious T-Birders gathered at the Lincoln Oasis on Friday
morning. Our tour leaders Joel and Annie handed out route guides to our caravan of 17 cars. There were 11 baby birds, 4 retro birds and 2
modern cars bringing up the rear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first stop was
at the La Porte County Historical Society Museum in Indiana. A great place to see lots of antiques, 14
"period rooms", plus 30 antique vehicles. One interesting exhibit was about the famous
Indiana Murderess-Belle Gunness. She
corresponded with foreigners, encouraged them to come over to the US. She then took their money, murdered them and
buried them in her backyard. All of these exhibits were spread out on 3 floors
in the museum.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lunch was in New
Carlisle, Indiana at Kate O'Connor's Irish pub.
One of our little birds driven by Ed Levin and Rose experienced some car
trouble. They were assisted at a repair
shop by 2 knowledgeable mechanics, who worked on their wheel and had them back on the road again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Following lunch we
were treated to some wine tasting at the St. Julian Winery in Paw Paw,
Michigan. We were also given a tour of
the family owned winery. Some purchases
were made and we continued on to our final destination, the "hotel"
in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Everyone settled
in and met in the hospitality room for pizza, salad, drinks and socializing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday morning
brought more "cool" weather, giving the baby birds no chance of ever
overheating. Rain was even added to the mix of weather. After a complimentary breakfast the group
headed out to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
This is truly a great museum spread out over a 90 acre campus. It contained
1 large building and smaller barns, all with fabulous displays. There are over 400 extraordinary vehicles
that date from the birth of the automobile to present day. Included also, was a re-creation of a 1930's
Shell gas station and a 1940's restored historic roadside diner. We could not buy gas for 18 cents a gallon at
the station, but we could eat at the diner.
It was open for business. This
museum housed cars that were restored to excellence. It was a car lover's dream and of course,
there was a baby bird on display. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday
evening brought the group together for a
short drive to dinner. The Mission Point
Restaurant was our destination. Everyone
enjoyed a great dinner, plus very good service.
The hospitality room was once again open for spirits and
socializing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Sunday morning
it was time to pack up and check out of the hotel. Next on our tour was the W.K.Kellogg Manor House.
This elegant 1920's home is situated on 32 acres on Gull Lake in Hickory
Corners, Michigan. Our tour guide was
very informative about the life of the cereal magnate and his lucky seven times
seven theory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were now working
our way home. Lunch was enjoyed by
everyone at the Featherbone Restaurant located in Three Oaks, Michigan. With the sun shining, smaller groups gathered together for the final ride home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We want to say
thank you again to Joel Greenberg and Annie Luginbill for a great tour. They spent a lot of time coordinating this
fun and interesting tour of Indiana and
Michigan for us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
