The North Central Picnic was a good time for all who came the distance to Westerville, and that was a good number. We were missing Big Bill and Tom Langdon and Elmer Stange and some more, but the machinery was interesting to see and hear, the food was first-rate, and the conversations went on for hours. Pete was soaking up every word, and he is showing himself to be a fine young man in every way, one we were glad to have in the house.

For his annual seminar on makin' 'em run and keepin' 'em runnin', Bob Garrett had 11-inch clutches (and a 139-tooth flywheel!), 500 cfm two-barrel Holley carburetors with conventional and progressive venturis, and two different McGurk camshafts for 235/261 Chevrolets. Bob and Alice do some heavy lifting to make the annual picnic happen for the pleasure and education of North Central Inliners, and all of us are grateful for their labour.

We are all glad that Pete has joined us in the North Central region, and we hope he will stick around when Purdue is through with him. He's learning every day. Wherever he is, he will be an asset.

God's Peace to you.
