We get a good turn=3Dout at our monthly meetings and just about all chip
in, be it fixing food ot stacking the chairs. Night time meetings
always end in the dark and are at a local neighbourhood rec center, so
maybe it's fear of car damage.
(Actually, I'm just about the only volunteer who drives an older car
to the car museum. Maybe it's a SoCal thing.)
It's just nice to see another Studebaker once-in-a-while.
