Fiction & fact

Think About itWhen you are over 80, there is no longer such athing as delayed gratification.

When you are over 80, buying a product with a life-timewarranty doesn't really mean much.

When you are over 80 your definition of “old people”changes.

Model A Ford Club of AmericaSanta Anita A’s is a chartered member of TheModel A Ford Club of America, Inc. (MAFCA).It is a California not-for-profit corporationand a national historical society dedicated tothe restoration and preservation of Model AFord vehicles as manufactured from 1928 through 1931.

We encourage our SAA members to also participate in the MAFCAorganization. Check out their web site. It contains a wide variety ofinformation about the organization, activities, technical referencesand instructions on how to join the organization. (www.mafca.com)

It’s Roster Time by Elmer Fudd

As is our habit, every year we publish a new club roster.Not wanting to break the habit, a new 2014 - 2015 versionhas been printed and is now available.

The easiest and most enjoyable way to obtain your copy isto simply show up at the next general meeting on June 27.During the evening you will be presented with your veryown copy, engraved with your name thereon. Perchanceyou miss that meeting you will be given one moreopportunity by attending the July meeting. Members whofail to pick up their copy at either meeting will have theirspersonally delivered by either a representative of the IRSor the NSA, or both.

As is also our habit, prior to printing the roster, memberswere given the opportunity to revise the informationcontained in our records and to submit a more current,recognizable photograph. Unfortunately we did not receivea response from many of you so you will be stuck with thethe old information and mug shot, be it either correct orincorrect, good or bad.

As advertised, a facsimile of the roster is included on theSAA’s web site, in the Members Only Section, under theheading of, believe it or not, “Roster”. I suggest you checkit out for practice and to find out if what you see there istrue. If it is not (unlikely), you have the opportunity andduty to then go to the Members Only section on the website and make all necessary corrections. In the Membersonly Section you will find, believe it or not, a tab titled“Roster update”. Don’t be afraid, use it!

With all of this computer magic we will be able to maintaina very current on-line roster; something everyone desires.And we certainly want to satisfy your desires.

If you can’t find your name in the new SAA’s directory itsbecause you are either not a member or didn’t pay yourdues on time.

How to fix your car & make friendsIt may be a local thing, but I am continuallyimpressed with the help Santa Anita A’s membersprovide each other. Much of that help is evident when amember’s car has a problem. The help may be in the formof advice or hands on activity facilitating a repair.

Often when trying to call a club member I am told he is atso-and-so’s house helping him make a repair or install awidget. Seldom does a member’s car problem go unnoticed.

Marlin Perry and his “Low End Boys” exemplify the conceptof providing help to other members in need. Other “helptransactions”, some unnoticed, take place every week withone member responding to another’s call for help.

Sometimes the “help sessions” not only accomplish arepair but turn out to be social events as well. Sometimesthere are gatherings of members looking for problems tosolve. If you go to Chuck Sharpe’s garage most any day,you’ll find members dropping by to discuss what’s wrongwith their car; particularly on Friday when it includes a clamchowder lunch at Leroy’s.

It has been my experience that getting in trouble doeshave some benefits. Working with others solving problemshas resulted in really getting to know people and hascreated long term relationships.

Perhaps the motto of the Santa Anita A’s should be“No car left behind”.

Ladies’ BrunchPay attention now! In the month of July,and July only, the ladies’ Brunch will beon the first Monday of the month, July7. Same routine - The group meets atAnnia’s which is located at the El Monte airport, 11:00AM. Call Bea Fruchter (626-797-2048) if you don’tunderstand this note.

The day wasin the high80's and, as aresult, only 9Model A'smade thedrive to thestadium. Therest met usthere.

The pre-game BBQ consisted of hot dogs, hamburgersand chicken legs with potato salad, baked beans,watermelon and chocolate chip cookies. There wereplenty of soft drinks and water so everyone could stayhydrated for the game. After the BBQ the Model A'sparaded around the infield to the applause of manyspectators.

We had great seats, directly behind home plate (mostlyin the shade) and the game was exciting. Chad Billingsleyfrom the Los Angeles Dodgers made a rehab start andpitched 1 1/3 innings. The final score: Quakes - 5, Blaze - 3.Sheri Johnson was awarded a nice Quakes bag fororganizing the tour.

Ray Tewes drove part ofthe way out to RanchoCucamonga with us, buthad problems with hisModel A so waseventually towed home.Toward the end of thegame, Wilbert & Susanhad to leave early. Thecar blew a fuse in theparking lot and wouldn'tstart. So, he was also towed home.

SAA Members Participate In Boy Scout ExpoMay 31 by John Emanuelli

Our Santa Anita A’s supported the Boy Scouts of America byshowing them our cars at the Scouts Expo at the Rose Bowlin Pasadena. This way we can encourage Future MAFCAmembers to help preserve our hobby.

MAFCA has supportedyouth participation in itshobby for several years andmany chapters havesupported Scouts Expo's allover our area.

Perhaps we can expand thisrelationship and one daycreate a Merit Badge for Collector Cars such as our ModelA's, adding a place where the youth in America can beexposed to our hobby. This will keep it alive and futuregenerations will love the Model A as we do.

The Pledge of Allegiance - by Senator John McCain

John McCain's remarks about the Pledge of Allegiance! Inlight of the recent appeals court ruling in California,with respect to the Pledge of Allegiance, the followingrecollection from Senator John McCain is very appropriate:

As you may know, I spent five and one half years as aprisoner of war during the Vietnam War.  In the earlyyears of our imprisonment, the NVA kept us in solitaryconfinement two or three to a cell. In 1971 the NVAmoved us from these conditions of isolation into largerooms with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room. This was,as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a directresult of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf ofa few hundred POW's 10,000 miles from home.One of the men who moved into my room was a youngman named Mike Christian. Mike came from a smalltown near Selma, Alabama. He didn't wear a pair ofshoes until he was 13 years old. At 17 he enlisted in the

Where did all the water go?Recently several club members have experienced blownhead gaskets. This results in a loss of radiator water intothe crankcase (oil) or out the exhaust. It also will causepoor performance and loss of power and represents asituation that must be corrected. In my opinion, theproblem is caused by improper torqueing of head boltsduring installation of new head gasket and failure to re-torque after operation of 100 or more miles.

Other contributors to the failure can be a warped head orengine block. These conditions are not likely to be presentunless the engine has been subjected to extreme stress(overheating and frozen up).

As a minimum, I suggest when installing a new head gasketmake sure the surface of the block is very clean. Take thehead to a machine shop to be checked for cracks and re-surfaced. If you are using a high compression head (5.2 orabove which includes B and C heads), I recommendpurchasing the high compression head gasket sold bySnyder’s. It is well identified in their catalog. Follow thetorqeing sequence and instructions contained in the LesAndrews shop manual.

Finally, if you would like to learn more about head gasketsand related problems, go on line to Ford Barn(www.fordbarn.com) and search for the Forum and Techarticle sections.

US Navy and later earned a commission by going toOfficer Training School. Then he became a Naval FlightOfficer and was shot down and captured in 1967. Mikehad a keen and deep appreciation of the opportunitiesthis country and our military provide for people whowant to work and want to succeed.

As part of the change in treatment, the Vietnameseallowed some prisoners to receive packages from home.In some of these packages were handkerchiefs, scarvesand other items of clothing. Mike got himself a bambooneedle. Over a period of a couple of months, he createdan American flag and sewed it on the inside of his shirt.Every afternoon, before we had a bowl of soup, wewould hang Mike's shirt on the wall of the cell and saythe Pledge of Allegiance.

I know the Pledge of Allegiance may not seem the mostimportant part of our day now, but I can assure you thatin that stark cell it was indeed the most important andmeaningful event.

One day the Vietnamese searched our cell, as they didperiodically, and discovered Mike's shirt with the flagsewn inside, and removed it. That evening they returned,opened the door of the cell, and for the benefit of all ofus, beat Mike Christian severely for the next couple ofhours. Then, they opened the door of the cell and threwhim in. We cleaned him up as well as we could.  The cellin which we lived had a concrete slab in the middle onwhich we slept. Four naked light bulbs hung in eachcorner of the room.

As I said, we tried to clean up Mike as well as we could.After the excitement died down, I looked in the corner ofthe room, and sitting there beneath that dim light bulbwith a piece of red cloth, another shirt and his bambooneedle, was my friend, Mike Christian. He was sittingthere with his eyes almost shut from the beating he hadreceived, making another American flag. He was notmaking the flag because it made Mike Christian feelbetter. He was making that flag because he knew howimportant it was to us to be able to pledge our allegianceto our flag and country.

So the next time you say the Pledge of Allegiance, youmust never forget the sacrifice and courage thatthousands of Americans have made to build our nationand promote freedom around the world.  You mustremember our duty, our honor, and our country.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States ofAmerica and to the republic for which it stands, onenation under God , indivisible, with liberty and justicefor all."

Marlin’s MusingsBy Marlin Perry

SEMINAR NEWS

This month started out with Mickey and myself at JerryLampassi’s home in Rancho Cucamonga. We replaced thetwo bolts in the middle of the rear end, a minor job. If anycar is going to have many problems guess whose car, Jerry’s.One bolt leaked oil.

Do you wonder if Chuck Sharpe knows who dropped off aModel A frame at his home? Well Jim Frick said he knowsMarlin did and Chuck got some help and put it in Chuck’sshop. Chuck thanks them.

Mickey and I got a call from Jim Kroeger saying his enginewould not run. When we got to Jim’s home we found hehad done a great job putting everything back in the enginecompartment including hooking up the head lights. Goodman Jim. His only problem was the cable to the distributorneeded tightening. Hooray, the car started instantly. Nowall he has to do is get some mileage on the engine.

This month found me with my sister’s Sedan at my housefor three weeks. She started out with a burned out tail light.Thanks to Joe Wilson she ended up with new wiring to hertail lights. She has hydraulic brakes and simple switch ratherthan a standard turn signal setup. It was more than I couldunderstand. Thanks to Joe Wilson, after two trips to myhouse the problem was solved. I thank Joe very much. Hecame from La Canada to Arcadia. Nancy’s car is back home;down the block and around the corner and I am happy.

This month Gene Reinhardt, Mickey and I were back atWilbert Smith’s rental to work on his car. He had a minorloose ignition wire causing a no running engine. It was aneasy fix and away we went. Along came the Quakes Ballgame and his car started blowing fuses in the street at thepark. He had his nice car towed to my house and the nextmorning he called me to tell me the problem. He had a setof wires installed to attach a trickle battery charger. One ofthe wires was grounding out on the frame. We were glad hefigured it out or we would still be trying to solve the problem.

I will close by telling everyone some of the things Low EndBoys do not work on: brakes, oil leaks or do enginerebuilding. If you need help on these talk to Bob Travis andChuck Sharpe. Any other problems call any of the Low EndBoys to see if they can help.

Low end Boys: Brad Balmot, Dick Homet, Louie Formia, GeneReinhardt, John Emanuelli, Mickey Fruchter, Randy Gross, TedBruns, Larry Rummens, Chris Wickersham and Marlin Perry
