MEMBER OF THE MONTH PAT LYNCH
Pat’s come a long way from growing up in a small town in Maui, Hawaii. He spent his early days growing up in Hilimile, Hawaii. Pronounced Hi-LI-Me-Le. When Pat was 10 years old his family moved from Hawaii to Mesa, Az. Quite a change! Pat attended Westward High School in Mesa and upon graduation joined the Army and the 101st Airborne stationed in Vietnam. Although part of the “101ST Air-borne”, Pat became a door gunner and crew chief aboard a “Huey” gunship helicop-ter. Upon returning from Vietnam in 1969 Pat found his first Mustang, a 1968. He also met his wife, Leisa, married her and took her on their honeymoon to where else “Hawaii”. Wait a minute, isn’t this where our story began?
` Pat and Leisa have been mar-ried 40 years, and have two daughters, Morgan a nurse and Madyson a helicop-ter pilot with an Air Evac Company. Madyson is married to Pat’s favorite son-in-law, Andy Floyd, an electrical contractor in Arizona. Pat joined AmericaWest airlines in 1985 and is currently a flight captain on a B757 for U.S. Airways. Pat drives a
1967 Mustang Fastback with a 289 engine and C-4 automatic transmission. He has modified the Fastback with new suspension and big “Baer” disc brakes all around. He has a fresh new red paintjob and red interior making this a very sharp looking car with it’s crager chrome mags. Future modifications will include a high performance engine, a tremic 5-speed transmission and a 3:55-3:73 “Posi” rear end.
Pat joined Copperstate Mustang Club last year after his brother-in-law, Ron Himrich and his wife, Mary (Pat’s sister) became club members. (We will get more info. on Ron and Mary in an upcoming article).
Pat has owned 8 Mustangs over the years and really enjoys his current Pony, and the time he spends with Copperstate members he has met. We all look forward to seeing Pat and Leisa at our many events. Thanks for be-coming a member. Best Wishes.
PS. You’ll like Pat. He is easy going and a funny guy. He will fit in “well” with the rest of us-car-crazy guys and can be seen at the Pavilions on Saturday night when he is in town.

Congratulations were given to our MAX Award Win-ner, Gerald Young. Congratulations were given to Member of the Year, John Valencia. Jeff asked some-one to step forward and become our Newsletter Editor. Chris Valentino will be our new chief judge for the club. JoAnn announced that former member Bob Gra-ham passed away. Thanks were given to Becky for chairing the Christmas party and also to Santa for his great visit to the club. 50/50 winner of $50 was Joe Tokoph.
An open discussion took place on whether or not Pay Pal on the internet should be continued. A fee is col-lected by Pay Pal for this service, reducing our in-come. Another problem with using it, is that member-ship applications still need to be mailed in. For show entrance fees paid on line, applications still need to be mailed in. Scott will see if he can connect the two. If anyone has any opinions on the Pay Pal account, con-tact Jeff. Feb 19th is our pancake breakfast open to all paid membership members. North Mountain Park, 7th St and Peoria, center of our area. Set up 7:30 am, eat-ing at 10am, meeting at 11 am.
Fords on 4th, the Tucson car show March 4th.
Discussion about a group going to Tucson on March 3rd. Groups going together on Sat will leave about 9, with brunch on the way to Tucson. Those interested will go on to the Kartchner Caverns for a tour and re-turn to Tucson. The car show is on Sunday. Hotel in-formation and details will be available from Chevie Neeper 602-992-3612. Tickets for the Caverns pur-chased in advance will save a parking fee charged by the park. Alyce Ancell Acting Secretary
THE ROUNDUP
Scottsdale, AZ (January 25, 2016) With enough intensity and excitement to turn non-collectors into enthusiasts, the atmosphere at Russo and Steele’s Scottsdale 2012 auction block was downright palpable. An overflowing auction block, one-of-a-kind marvels and a record number of car-loving bidders led Russo and Steele to break 5 world records. From European sports to American muscle and hot rods to customs, this year’s auction event held an impressing line up of cars to suit the needs of any collector.

THE PARKING LOT
My darling husband, Before you return from your business trip, I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick-up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately it’s not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but fortunately the pick-up came to a halt when it bumped into your car. I am really sorry, but I know in your kind-hearted way you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture of the damage for you.
PS—Your girlfriend called!
