C4 class as well as Best ZR1. Congratulations!

July 25, 2014: On July 14,
member Vince Gabrunas and his 1974 coupe had a bad day: a wheel
fell off the car while driving! Apparently the wheel's lug nuts
had not been properly tightened during a safety inspection on the 11th.
The wheel loss occurred less than 10 miles after the service work.
To avoid damage such as the '74 experienced, it is strongly recommended
to check lug nuts any time you have work done on any of your vehicles
before leaving the shop. In this instance, thankfully no one else
was involved, and there were no injuries, but it could easily have been
a far more serious event. And yes, the '74 will be repaired and
back on the road soon!

July 6, 2014: Our Corvette
family continues to grow! A big welcome to our newest members, Ken
& Darlene Bergman with their Millennium Yellow 2002 Convertible, and

Brinton won top honors at the chili cook-off. He says it took him
5 trips through the Steak'n'Shake drive-thru to collect enough!
Coming in second was Susan Williams, and Lon Friesenborg garnered third
(or should that be garnished?). Some rumors float about that at
least two members have initiated the process for obtaining 2014
Stingrays. Good luck! And in another rumor, a certain member
who favors yellow Z06's let slip that the next one may NOT be said
color!

May 13, 2012: Kay Bedwell
is recovering from her emergency surgery, and has made it out to
a couple of recent events. Susan Williams is also out and
about after her foot surgery, and Bob Gale is progressing nicely
in his knee injury recovery. Here's to continued smooth
recoveries! We had a special guest attend our May meeting:
Brett Kavandjian, a college student from France who is attending
classes in Cape Girardeau. Welcome, Brett! We hope to see
you again in the future! His photo is in the May Meeting
Gallery.
April 22, 2012: Member Kay
Bedwell has undergone emergency bowel surgeries this weekend.
Our thoughts are with her and Ray. Also, member Susan
Williams underwent foot surgery this past week and is healing
nicely. And member Bob Gale recently underwent knee
surgery following a mishap while clowning around at the Shrine
Circus. While his recovery is slow, he is making progress
and has been to a couple of recent events. Get well soon,
all of you!
