If you’ve ever been to this great event, which takes place in October near Harrisburg PA on the grounds of the chocolate company, you know the headline is not an exaggera¬tion. At most car shows you’ll see everything you care to in an hour or two. Not Hershey, where it’s impossible to visit all of the thousands (really!) of vendor’s spaces, if for no other reason than you can spend all your time visiting those who only sell Cadillac parts. I went to Hershey with ‘49ers Joe Cutler and Art Gardner October 6-10. After 3½ days I found some neat ‘49 stuff, and went through the car corral where there were hundreds of great cars for sale and several I had to have. (You know the feeling.) Upon departing, I was cheered by the thought that next year I’ll be doing it all over again. Below is Joe’s article on Hershey from a ‘49ers perspective.
It’s that time of year again: 2010 dues are due. If you haven’t yet paid your $8 dues for 2010, you will receive a post card in the mail reminding you to do so. To make a payment, please enclose the post card and an $8 check payable to Jay Friedman in an envelope and mail it to me at: 1530 September Chase, Decatur, Georgia 30033 USA. Canadian members can send me cheque in Canadian Dollars at the exchange rate of the day for 8 US Dollars. Members in the Euro Zone can send a 5 Euro note. If you don’t get a post card, your 2010 dues are paid and you can enjoy another year of the Times, which appears every March, June, September and December, without further ado.
May all Forty-Niners have a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah and Happy New Year and anything else you might celebrate this time of year, and may your ’49 (or ’48 or’50) always start quickly and run sweetly.
