Lone Star T’s MONTHLY MEETING Sunday, January 8th, 2006 2:00 p.m.- Tire Kicking • 2:30 p.m. - Meeting JOIN US FOR THE FIRST MEETING OF 2006 — DRIVE YOUR T — Central Congregational Church • 5600 Royal Lane • Dallas, Texas   Notice the short sleeves and open cars? What a beautiful day for a meeting — I counted twelve Model T’s in the parking lot, (Kathy H.)   MEN'S NIGHT OUT • January 10th A light dinner, drinks, and snacks will be served. The host requests the gang bring a racer engine or body parts for Daniel's speedster project. There where a whoppin’ 27 “T” members that showed up for this January's edition of MNO. Dan and his lovely family showed us a good time as well as some beautiful cars. His most recent project that he and his son are working on is building a speedster. It sits now as a rolling chassis. If his other cars are any indication the speedster is going to be a beauty. Dan also showed us the workings of a magna flux. He had a block with a couple of hairline cracks that could not be seen with the naked eye. But he hooked the electro magnet up, sprinkled some magic dust over the block and that crack just sucked the dust in. You could see the crack as plain as day. There was also available a virtual multitude of tummy tempting tastes to please any persnickety pallet. There was everything from fresh, hot baked cookies to cocktail weenies for the layman. The food just kept coming. No one went away hungry. As Nolan said at the last meeting, "You don't have to put on a smorgasbord to host a Men's Night Out, it is all about the camaraderie, story swappin and learning something new.” But the food and drink sure are good too, and the Hayes’ gave us all of it.   MODEL T'S GO TO SCHOOL • January 13th On Friday, January 13th Vic Gumma and George Lander were given an invitation to take their Model T’s to Berkner High School in Richardson. The event was to show high school students real “live” Model T Fords. The class had been studying the 1920’s and one student, 16 year old Rachel Broadway had prepared a paper on the subject of Henry Ford, and the “Car That Changed The World.” George gave a talk about his early days in the area, which was very well received. Vic had Rachel’s father, Mr. George Broadway crank his coupe, much to the delight of all present. It is such a joy to share our hobby with young people. This is something we need to do more often if we expect our hobby to stay alive. After Rachel’s presentation George and Vic had the honor of taking several members of the class for a short ride around the school’s parking lot. To most of those present it was a day to remember.   LATE BREAKING NEWS From the Sunshine Report ... Some good news that I learned was that Cliff Steely was honored with a Bronze Star Medal at a special presentation last Veteran's Day. Wow! I'm sure there is a good story there if you can get him to tell you about it.
