TRANSCRIPT
Greetings, Waynesboro—Staunton Region Members & Friends, As we close out 2016. I trust you all had a great
Christmas with friends and family. As 2017 comes rolling in, we want to wish you a Happy New Year. It won’t be too
long before we get the old cars out again for another year of W-S activities. My wife says I always associate people with
the cars they drive. To test that theory, this month we’ll publish some pictures of members’ cars. See if you can match
them with the owners. (Answers on Page 7) Stu Allen—Editor

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Visit our NEW website—http://waynesboro-stauntonregion.aaca.com/
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year to all. Thanks to everyone who
could make it to our annual December Christmas
Meeting/Party at Pano’s Restaurant, especially
Charlotte Kuykendall and Jack Drago who hosted
our gift exchange. Chester and Nancy Bradfield took
home Pano’s Choice Award with their 1938
Studebaker Coupe Pickup which they brought out
along with a few others who also brought their old
vehicles out in the rain. It appeared that we had a
very nice end of the year meeting/party with very
nicely done truck tree hanger ornaments and
centerpieces which were made and brought in by
Clarice and Stu Allen. Again, thanks to all.
This will be my last President’s Message and I can
truly say it has been an honor and pleasure to serve
as your President for the past 2 years. I especially
want to thank my wife Shirley for assisting. I
certainly have enjoyed the ride. I hope I did not bore
everyone with meetings being too lengthy, but if
anyone had something to say I did not want to cut
them off and/or out of the discussion. As I hope you
know, I placed a great importance on our recognition
and standing within our community. I feel this
strengthens our Club in many ways.
I feel Alfred Meyer and Walter Wilson will bring a
lot to the Club and will perform very well in their
new roles. Please plan to attend our January meeting
to witness their being sworn in as your new President
and Vice President.
Please do not forget to pay your National and Region
dues which are both now due.
Again, thank you for your support.
Ken Farley
I grew up in Northern Virginia in the City of Fairfax
and went to JMU and George Mason Law School. I
lived in Fairfax for over 40 years and served one
term on the City of Fairfax City Council (1994 -
96). I moved to Delaware for my job and then was
transferred a year later to the Richmond area. I lived
in Midlothian for about 15 years before moving to
Fishersville in October of 2015. I'm an attorney who
works for a title insurance company handling land
transfers under cell towers all over the
country. Since we deal with customers all over the
country I can easily work from home.
Allison and I met at JMU in 1978 and after about 25
years of no contact we got back together in 2006 and
got married in 2008 (in Denmark). Allison
purchased a 1946 Chevy pickup truck last year and
we have been trying to get more involved --so she
volunteered me for the VP position.

is his response:
Thanks, Walter (and Allison) for volunteering!

Waynesboro-Staunton Region Christmas Party—Dec. 18. 2016
Our Annual Christmas Party was held at Pano’s in Harrisonburg. The
meal, meeting and gift exchange were all enjoyed by our members.
Pano’s Party Room was well-
prepared for our meeting.
Antique car ornaments designed and
made by Clarice Allen (assisted by
Janet Meyer and your editor) were
given to each member in attendance.
Festive Poinsetias served as center
pieces and were given away as door
prizes
Everyone ate their fill as Pano’s treated
us with good food and great service.
Treasurer Jack Drago in elf
disguise handed out the
chips for the gift exchange.
Rain and salt on the
roads discouraged
many from driving
their old cars, but
Chester and Nancy
Bradfield brought
their ‘38
Studebaker Coupe
Express, winning
Pano’s Choice
trophy.
