Dave “Chief” Capretta in it, if possible. B. Smith says that things are
going well on the web-site and several suggestions were made on how to
prevent getting so many bogus requests to register for the message board.

E. Youngblood gave a report from the “Steel Tanker” book comm. pertaining to
sizes the book could be and Ed thinks the larger 8 1/2x11 inch version would
be best. Ed says that if we can get everything to the printer by Dec. 1st,
that we could have books to sell by the Feb. meeting. We will be using B.
Smith’s pictures in the technical section where possible. Paul suggested
that we also put in the back of the book some short biographies of the
people closely related to the early Penton steel tankers.
Under old business, Paul thanked James/Jeff Borer for volunteering to mail
out the new hard-backed edition of the John Penton book when they are
available. Paul stated that KTM has offered to put the new edition of the
book in their dealer catalogues. They would stock them in their parts dept.
and we would supply them with more books when needed. Also, a very special
leather bound , numbered, “limited edition” will be printed. B. Smith made a
motion that we notify all present members by 1st class mail that these
collectible, numbered books will be available for sale, but only if an order
with a deposit is returned to the POG by a certain date, and John Penton
seconded the motion and the motion carried. S. Brogan says he has ordered
more of the Hare Scrambler shirts and he hopes to have a matching cap
designed and ready for sale by Vintage Days. John Penton spoke for several
minutes about the Daytona monument and noted that we need to have the info
we want on the 2’x2’ tile that he has purchased for the POG by Aug. 1st. E.
Youngblood is working on this item at present. John passed around several
nice pictures of the monument for all to see. Paul passed out flyers for the
Ohio Valley BSA owners group’s Spring Classic that will be held on June 2nd
