We discussed the Dec. meeting which will be “Family Night” and B. Smith says
that Karen and Linda will be bringing their dulcimers and A. Born will be
calling Mrs. Leimbach to see if she will speak again and there just may be
some surprise entertainment. The POG will furnish the pizza and soft drinks
and each family will bring some snack food.
We discussed “Penton Day at the AMA” that is on Feb. 3rd, 2007 and Paul
suggested that we see if Carl Cranke and Dave Duarte could come as our
speakers for the day. Paul Busick made a motion to cover air-fair/lodging,
if necessary for both if they could attend. D. Wilford seconded the motion
and all were in favor of the motion. A. Buehner made a motion that was
seconded by S. Brogan to donate $500.00 to the museum at this meeting in
honor/memory of Dave Mungenast and all were in favor of the motion. Scott
Brogan says he will be working on the 250 cc Hare Scrambler T-shirts for
2007 and hopes to have them ready for sale by then.
Under old business, it was mentioned that Gary Hext displayed a Penton
banner at the Barber Museums week-end in Oct. that drew some attention, and
he got to speak with Mr. Barber.
Under new business, R. Kirkbride showed his beautiful 2007 Penton calendars
that sell for $15.00 each. Randy always donates any profit from the calendar
sales to the POG. Ted Guthrie says that Reba has edited all the footage from
Vintage Days 2005 and it will be a 2 volume set and will soon be available
to sell. The ‘Topic of Discussion “ was the reunion ride and Paul showed a
nice arm band that many riders wore during the ride in honor / memory of
Dave Mungenast. Paul, Doug, Dane, Paul Busick and John Borer gave reports on
the ride. P. Busick summed up the ride saying that the rains on Friday
definitely turned a “Fun Run” into a wet, nasty serious event that ruined a
few bikes and wiped out a few riders. To learn all about it, be sure to read
John Borers article in the winter Newsletter. Al Born reminded everyone to
see the nice full page article about Jack Penton in the Oct. 18th issue of
Cycle News. The Dec. meeting will be on the 7th at 7:00 p.m. The meeting
adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
Al Born, Sec. of POG
