Message from the Director

Dear Model A’ers,

We know July as the Iola Car Show month

and many of us spend a great deal of

time at the event. Here’s a bit of history

of the event. For many years, the Iola

Lions Club had held a chicken roast in

Iola’s Olson Park. In 1972, one of the Lions Club members, Chester L. Krause, invited some

friends to drive their old cars to the chicken roast. (The incentive to participate was a tasty dinner

that Krause would pay for.) There was a method to his madness, as Krause and his company,

Krause Publications, had recently purchased Spoked Wheels, a monthly, nationwide newspaper

serving the interests of car collectors. (Today, the publication is known as Old Cars Weekly).

Krause rightly thought that buying dinner for a bunch of antique car owners would be a great

way to publicize his new newspaper. He was right. Although less than 20 cars made an

appearance, the small community of Iola, Wisconsin, would forever be changed. That single

event eventually proved to be the catalyst for one of America’s great car shows.

And here’s what else we have know happened in the month of July

July 1, 1862 - President Abraham Lincoln signed the first income tax bill, levying a 3% income

tax on annual incomes of $600-$10,000 and a 5% tax on incomes over $10,000. Also on this day,

the Bureau of Internal Revenue was established by an Act of Congress.

July 4, 1776 - The Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress

July 8, 1776 - The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence occurred as Colonel

John Nixon read it to an assembled crowd in Philadelphia.

July 20, 1969 - A global audience watched on television as Apollo 11 Astronaut Neil Armstrong

took his first step onto the moon. As he stepped onto the moon's surface he proclaimed, "That's

one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" - inadvertently omitting an "a" before "man"

and slightly changing the meaning.

July 30, 1975 - Automotive pioneer Henry Ford (1863-1947) was born in Dearborn Township,

Michigan. He developed an assembly-line production system and introduced a $5-a-day wage for

automotive workers.

And with Henry Ford birthday remembrance coming up, keep motorin’ on!

Fashion Era ~ 1930s Hairstyles for Men

Short Hair. Short, well-kept and meticulously maintained hairstyles were the 1930s ideal.

Side Parts. The short hair sported by most of the decade's gentlemen was sure to be meticulously parted.

Curly Hair. Though hairstyles were kept quite close to the head, curly hair was fashionable for both men and

women

Men's hairstyles of the 1930s reflected societal

ideals and cultural trends of the era. Grooming

was an important part of maintaining the

gentlemanly facade so prized during the depression

era. Men wore their hair short and visited the

barber often in order to maintain immaculately

shaved faces and sharp cut styles. The 1930s were

focused on well-kept perfection as exemplified by

the decade's heartthrob, Clark Gable. Short cuts,

dapper hats and fashionable facial hair were of the

utmost importance to the depression era gentleman.

Short, well-kept and meticulously maintained hairstyles were the 1930s ideal. The back of a man's hair could

never touch his collar, and though men maintained length on top, the entire style was clean cut and perfectly

styled. The longer top portion of hair was often combed over the back of the head and secured in place with a

pomade that gave the hair a shiny, and often immovable, finish.

While women favored exceptionally voluminous finger waves, men tended to slick back their curls over the

tops of their heads for a waved look. Curls were fashionably favored, but good grooming and precise styles

were still necessary and as such, men's curls were cemented in place with waxy pomades that would hold up

even under their fedoras.

Meet Michael Hoks and his wife, Peggy Lee.

As I interviewed Michael, a thoughtful gaze crossed his face and Michael said, “I turned 19

years old in Vietnam, a Navy boat gunner, and I was pretty certain I wasn’t going to see age 20.”

Michael shared some of his Vietnam memories with me, and it’s easy to see how war would

markedly change a young man. The division Michael served in was colloquially known as the

River Rats. The Navy River Rats were sent in on refurbished World War II boats to assist the 9th

infantry army any way possible, transportation, medical evacuation, guard prisoners, evacuation,

resupply and gun support.

Nickle A is a club of many veterans, and although Michael received the Commendation Medal for

Valor and a Purple Heart Medal, you’ll never hear him brag about it. He shared, “I just wanted to

live, and it was kill or be killed.” Like anyone on the front lines in war, Michael saw things that

still haunt him: fields of ash, where people, vegetation, and buildings once stood, after Napalm

was dropped. He learned to sleep through mortar attacks since they were nonstop for days at a

time. He saw firsthand how infections in wartime ravage many soldiers. And like so many

veterans, Michael was sent home after his tour of duty to a world he no longer knew. The men

fighting on the front lines didn’t get newspapers; the mail they received from home was typically

a month or two from posted to delivered time, so the troops didn’t know how unpopular the

Vietnam war was back in the States. One day Michael was in Vietnam in a fight or die situation;

three days later he was flying back to the United States with no debriefing, and learned very

quickly that he couldn’t even talk about where he’d been, what he’d been through, nor could he

wear his uniform in public for fear of reprisal. He was told at the Great Lakes Naval Base where he reported back for duty that he was

confined to the base because the Navy couldn’t “guarantee life or limb” with the angry mobs of protesters at the gates daily. Today Michael

spends a great deal of time talking to public school children to help that understand how grisly and filthy war really is. His mantra is, “If you

don’t support the war, at least support the warriors”. Afterall, it isn’t the troops that make the decision to go to war; they are merely fulfilling

duties and following orders.

The picture here is the Navy’s Tango boat in Vietnam and a picture of a younger Michael,

just trying to make it to his 20th

birthday. Michael used the GI Bill to go to the University

of Whitewater, Wisconsin and graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Business Administration.

He was an insurance adjuster for 6 years in Colorado and he also had sales positions in Kansas

and Wisconsin before working and retiring from Kimberly Clark as a machine operator.

Michael’s wife, Peggy, retired from Tissue Mills after 44 years as a machine operator. Michael

and Peggy have 5 children and 5 grandchildren between the two of them. They both admit the

greatest joy is spending time with children and grandchildren. And, In October they will

celebrate 30 years of marriage.

Avid outdoors people. Peggy and Michael have been to all 50 states. They have been

hunting for 31 years together and both have harvested deer, bear and bison. They also

really enjoy camping, skiing and doing Western Fur Trade Rendezvous. Michael said,

“It’s a great feeling to be under a buffalo robe in a teepee set up in the Rocky

Mountains!” This picture is of Peggy at a recent 9- day rendezvous, but people at the

rendezvous know her only as “White Elk”.

Michael and Peggy love the Model A Club because

it is interesting, challenging and all the members

are helpful and friendly. They wanted to thank

Tom Schmidt for getting them involved. They

wish they could attend more meeting and events.

They drive a 1928 Model A Tudor pictured here.

This picture was taken at one of

their children’s weddings

The Dells of the Eau Claire Park surrounds fantastic geological features created by the Eau Claire River. Ancient volcanic rock palisades

and potholes carved in the rock by the falling water create a unique place at the dells and gorge. The river bisects this 190-acre park. A dam

upstream from the falls creates an impoundment, which provides for spectacular waterfalls and rapids. The beautiful rock formations are a

magnet for summertime nature enthusiasts. Always free

The Fromm Brothers Fur and Ginseng Farm is a farm complex in the Town of Hamburg where four brothers pioneered ginseng farming

starting in 1904, and used the profits to develop silver fox farming. By 1929 they were the world's largest producer of both products. The

farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, considered significant at a national level because of the brothers'

innovations in ginseng farming and in fur production and marketing. Open only June, July, & August, but opening especially for our group
