it will attract museum visitors and be viewed by many. As happened last year, cars on display will certainly be photographed for local newspaper articles and TV news features. Please strongly consider this opportunity and if you are interested, contact me at 402-291-7122, email at bugeye@radiks.net, or mail at 3728 Schuemann Dr. Bellevue, NE 68123, letting me know your desires and what car you want to display.
With your help and participation, this promises to be an absolutely terrific and fun filled event. We would place signage near cars for owner recognition. This would be similar to our presentation of the same information during the Ferrari exhibit.
In Memorium -
Jay Hyde
We have just learned of the passing of Jay Hyde. We met Jay a couple of years ago when he responded to a card left on his car. Jay was not exceptionally active in the club, but he occasionally showed up at breakfast, ice cream, and always at the annual Car Show. He was quick with a joke, had a ready smile, and an easy manner that made him quite likeable. His blue Spitfire was one of the nicest around, and he enjoyed driving it immensely.
Jay left this life September 11th in Rochester Minnesota, at the Mayo Clinic. We are uncertain of the cause of his death. We are certain that at 66 he died far too young.
We offer Barbara our condolences and wish her and their family God's peace.

Good Gosh, where did the summer go? Just the other day, I couldn't wait for the snow to melt so I could bring Sue's Sprite into the garage. Now I have to wait for the weeds to die down so I can find it out in the Presidential Alley. Just the other weekend, we celebrated Labor Day in our usual fashion by scurring off to the All-British down at the Marriott near KCI. I thought attendance was down a bit from last year. Nevertheless, I think all us Iowa and Nebraska fans had a swell time. Winners included Leo Thietje's B, Brian Goldsmith's A, and Bob Weddington's Spitfire. Steve Esplund took a nice Second Place for his 1966 MGB. The first went to a 1964 Texas car. It was absolutely concorse and was driven to the show. I am amazed that there were no bugs, rocks, or other debris on the highway between The Lone Star and Show-Me States. Jim Stork's Sprite earned a Third Place. As usual, Flatwater and HMRNP took more than a fair share of awards. And we all actually DROVE ours down roads that weren't swept in advance. Those unswept roads through Rulo are sure fun to drive. But they usually cause us grief on the way home.
Over the years, Jim Stork lost a generator, Ben Anderson lost out to jay-walking animals, Chuck Henry's Lotus broke, and broke, and broke, and Leo Theije lost some smoke through a hole in a bit of wiring.
