Volume 14
CONTENTS
Hi Y'all
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. The Club Christmas Party was
a real blast. Seems like all 62 attendees had a
real good time!!
A real Big Thank You to Cyndy, Shirley, Barb &
Rachel for all the work planning, shopping &
wrapping all those really nice door prizes. Shirley
sure does a great job on the table decorations!!!
The gift exchange took place in a "timely" manner
thanks again to Shirley.
Monday December 12, club members drove 14
cars to Llano to attend a memorial and Celebration of Life for Rick,
He was a former club member and a really great
guy. We also went to show our support for
Jackie, another great person. Thanks to all who
supported this event.
Just a reminder, if you find a new member, the
club dues for them are $20.00 after January 1st
until March 31st.
See Y'all at the January 10th meeting.

JOHN WARREN
John Warren, a longtime and founding member of our club, who was also made our first Lifetime Member,
passed away at his home on Thursday December 29, 2016. He was lovingly attended in his final days by
his cousin Joanne and her daughter Stephanie.. He had battled cancer in recent months and was at peace
with the final outcome. He greatly missed Margie, his wife, who died in 2014.
While he was both in hospice care in Lampasas and while he was at home, many of his club friends came to
visit him, and occasionally brought a small treat, such as a milkshake or ice cream, both of which he enjoyed very much. Just a few weeks before he died, he was able to come to Wednesday morning breakfast
at Mama‟s a couple of times. A few weeks before, he was the guest of honor at Toupsies‟ restaurant in
Lampasas, an event which he enjoyed very much.
John will be missed by all us members, and one of his wishes was to have us bring our classic cars to his
funeral for the procession to the cemetery. His funeral and burial was on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 and
many members were in attendance, braving a cold and windy hillside gravesite to pay their last respects.
The kind members of John‟s First Presbyterian Church put on a very nice lunch reception following the burial. As a final salute to an old hot-rodder, a couple of members did burn outs in his honor. Other folks may
not understand but John very likely was smiling down from heaven, saying “Go Guys!!” Here are a few pictures.

EDITOR’S CORNER
It is a slow season, in these days after the hectic pace that we impose on Christmas and New Years. The
cold weather is causing us to stay indoors, even forcing us to cancel the January Friday Night Fever. As a
result, Mark is taking a well-deserved break from having to submit an article for this month. We‟ll have more
features and pics for you next month. Even your friendly Editor is taking a break, putting out an abbreviated
issue for this month.
RON ADWERS
Ron recently called your Editor and told him he had suffered a nasty fall on his ranch. He was tracking down
a deer and fell headfirst into a ravine, suffering a gash to his head and hurting his back. He will be out of action as our club Photographer for a while, and able to get around only with a walker. As a result, the Editor
will do his best to fill in for Ron. All he (Editor) has to do is to remember to take his camera along to club
events

JANUARY’S FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER FEAST AT JUANE’S
BRRRR!!!!! It was much too cold to stand around in the frigid northerly winds on the east side of the Burnet
Town Square, so it was decided that the club would meet and then depart the Shell station on the east side of
Burnet on Hwy. 29 at 5:00 PM for the short journey to Bertram and Juane‟s Mexican Restaurant on the east
side of Bertram. Since the parking lot is gravel and the weather was so cold, only a few folks brought their
fancy cars. Carlton brought his red „67 Fairlane, Tom and Shirley brought their Cadillac coupe and Gary and
Sue brought their Cadillac Corvette. O, yes, your editor and Judy brought their classic PT Cruiser (if he
missed any other classics, blame it on the frigid weather and his desire to get inside a warm building.

A LONE PICTURE OF OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY
O‟ woe is us, the cybernetic gremlins are alive and well, and they chose to show up in the CD that had the
Christmas pictures. As a result, all we ended up with is ONE picture. That picture shows our own Mark at
one of the tables. As soon as we can recapture all the other pictures, we‟ll get them into the February issue
of this newsletter. But for the present, here is our Activity Director in all his splendor. Actually, he deserves
lots more coverage, since he works very hard to put together interesting programs for all of us to be involved
in. This picture shows him performing one of his many skills. More pics next month.
