A sincere thank you from Stu Chapman

[Stu Chapman]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank SDC for honoring me at this year's International Meet with the Harry Barnes Award for Exemplary Dedication and Commitment.

My 55 years of involvement with Studebaker, the Studebaker National Museum and SDC has been nothing short of a wonderful experience for me. Most importantly we have made hundreds of friends throughout the world as a result of this experience and this will never be forgotten.

Thank you again to SDC.

Stu Chapman

Stu,
I am sorry I never met up with you at the meet. I was hoping to finally meet you. It was very busy and lots to do and see.
Congratulations on your award. It is well deserved. May you have many more years of life and accomplishment.

Stu,
I can think of no one more deserving of such an honor. Congratulations, and like Ed, I look forward to meeting you and shaking your hand. Through your book and your informative posts here, I feel like I already know you. I just want to make it official.

Congratulation Stu! It is well deserved.
If I had realized that you hadn't been awarded this prior to this year, I would have nominated you.
It is a decade since I received this award.
I guess that we have known each other for about 45 of those 55 years.

As the new kid on the block,I was lucky to meet you, Stu and Thelma. She is so sweet and has a great smile. We probably could have spent hours talking Studebaker which I hope to do in the future. Congratulations on this award and all the great success you have enriched Studebaker Drivers Club.

Stu, when asked for input on your award, there was only one thought. It was simply a well deserved award for all of the things you do for this club. Without your ehlp our annual elections would not happen as well as they do. Sorry we did not have time to sit and talk in Tacoma. Congratulations on a well deserved Harry Barnes award.
