  • Thank you

    I have been rereading some old Turning Wheels magazines (circa 1985) and am amazed at how many of the old timers are still with us. I am not going to name names because I would probably miss some of them but to all that have made our hobby a better place I just want to say thank you!

        The point is well made, what will a future without BP and his age group, Dwain Grindinger, Bob Kabchef etc be like - who will take over their roles and continue to supply information?

        Thanks and well done everyone..

              Nice post Peter. I had a 1949 back in 1992. I had to sell it when we moved and fell out of the Stude world for a while. When I purchased my 53 and was looking around to see what was going on out there, many of the same names popped up. I've had bad experiences on other groups on line but I just love the group of folks here.

                  I'm a young 63 and only been here forty years. Are there 23-year-olds itching to drive our cars?

                      What I want to thank them for is the way they handle themselves. They are not condescending, They give freely of themselves in the spirit of helping others.
                      There is no "I know best" tone in their answers. Graciousness is something that comes from the heart. There are only certain people that I'm willing to take advice form, and those people are first and foremost good human beings.
                      Never have i heard them admonish someone for doing something that wasn't the way they would do it.

                          The first atomic sub was the Nautilus and when I was at GE in Fort Wayne 51-53 drive train components were being made. The Nautilus is celebrating its 60th anniversary and is just over the river in Groton at its museum. Amazing how we both ended up in the same area! A neighbor just passed and with seven homes on our street there are now five widows. Scary!

                          Back to the thread. Turning Wheels and the forum give me a lot of pleasure. Although, I follow many of the discussions I am not feeling any smarter because of memory fade! Enjoy each day as spring is around the corner.

                              I am older than most that have been mentioned here or posted here. I have been a member of SDC since 1968, but I have been involved with and owned Studebakers long before that.
                              A lot of my Studebaker mechanical experience/knowledge came from working with an ex Studebaker dealership head mechanic, who was younger than me. The trivia and historical information about Studebaker and SDC I just learned over the years.
                              In 1985, the date that you mention, I was an SDC Director.
                              I don't think that I am old and try not to act old, but the number of years under my belt belies that. 95% of what I post here simply comes from my memory.
