Welcome to the New Western Outlook
As you know, Marilyn Scott has been the editor of the Western Outlook
for the past 10 years. When she decided to pass on the job of editor, I thought I
would volunteer to take on the assignment. She leaves some mighty big shoes
to fill, but I will do my best.
I’m Rick Hawkins the new editor. I’ve been a member of the SDC for the
past eight years. Along with my wife, Sue Bordwell, we own three Studebakers.
We enjoy attending car shows and other functions with the Conestoga Chapter.
In the future, a page called, Studebaker Of The Month, will appear.
This will be a place for members to display their Studebaker in the Western
Outlook. Just e-mail me a few pictures and some history of your Studebaker,
and I will print it in the newsletter. This will be a way for all members to not
only know you, but also know your Studebaker.
A page called, Studebaker Project Car, will also appear. This will be a
way for members to view your Studebaker restoration (past or present). E-mail
a few pictures and some information about your Studebaker restoration.
Our new e-mail address is [email protected]. Please send any
information, pictures, or suggestions to this address. Hope to hear from you
soon.

Western Wheels
The western Wheels Chapter met March 10th at
the Elks Club in Scottsbluff, hosted by Dallas
and Lucille Whiting. Members present
included, Harry, Bonita and Charlene Case,
Marry Miller, Stuart Tritt, Gene Sell, Wanda
Mowrey, Perry, Jaquie and Corina Meyers, Don
and Betty Steinwart and Dallas and Lucille
Whiting. Special Guest was Betty Madison.
After dinner, President Dallas Whiting called
the meeting to order. Perry and Stuart talked
about the latest information dealing with the
North Central Zone meet being held in Gering
August 17-10th. Stu showed a sample of a clock
which will be given as a raffle item during the
meet. He said there may be more than one
given away. The sample was grrrrrrreat. Stu said
registrations are starting to come in. We all feel
this will be one of those events people won't
want to miss. Stu also talked about national
publications pre-registration forms will appear
in. Thanks to Perry and Stu for all their hard
work on getting this event off the ground and
flying. With St. Ptricks Day being the holiday of
interest in March, Lucille came up with a
matching game that pertained to items that are
green in color. Betty Steinwart won the Ladies,
Stu Tritt the mens and Corina
Meyers the kids gifts. The adults got Nebraska
Lottery tickets and Corina won a $2 bill. The
adults were to take the chapter out for dinner if
they won the big bucks. You know it, no
telephone calls. The April meeting will be
hosted by the Steinwarts at the Runza
Restaurant in Gering. Stuart will be hosting the
May meeting at the Rock Ranch in Pine Bluffs
Wyoming. It is hoped some of the Wyoming
and Colorado chapters members can join us.
The weather is getting so nice we can start
driving our Studebakers again, as evidenced by
the Meyers bringing their station wagon to our
last meeting. It was great seeing it. Thanks
Perry. See you all in April.

Conestoga
The Conestoga Chapter get together was March 25 at The Quaker Steak and Lube in Westminster. There were 10 Studebakers on display and the manager was very happy to have us. He even took pictures to post on their website (Facebook page). A very short meeting was held. This time we were in the Corvette Room, and it was a much better room for a meeting. After a good lunch, several members went over to The Butterfly Pavilion to see the bugs, spiders, and, of course, the butterflies.
The Ms Wheelchair Colorado car show is April 14 at the Westminster Senior Center. A $20 entry fee for two people will include a light lunch and dinner with entertainment.
Don't forget the April 29 meeting at Centennial Airport Aspen Flying Club. We will be having a Potluck lunch and TV Dinner Tray decorating contest. Come enjoy the fun. Also, various Studebaker videos will be playing.
Enjoy the Studebakers,
Roger

are asked to make sure they register for the

McBride are the host for this event.
Co-chairman Dave Batchelor and Chuck Donkle

planning of the 2013 SDC International being
sponsoring by the Chapter. The 2013 Meet Shirts
have been order. They will be available with
either meet logos by May 1st. Caps will be
available as soon as a cap design is approved.
The Bluegrass Music Group Fireweed in which
Tom Thornburg is a member are in the process
of planning Bluegrass Concert at the Fair event
for June 1,2,3. This event will be held at the State
Fair grounds. They have invited Studebaker
members to show their cars on Sunday June 3.
They have arranged to have you park your
vehicles close to the stages and vendor areas so
the attendees could admire your vehicles. The
drivers and guests would have an opportunity to
enjoy the shows and vendors while there. The
entrance fee for Sunday is only $5. Tom has in
the past taken his Hawk down to the shows and
the folks really seem to appreciate seeing a nice
old Stude. Sundays schedule starts with an old
time gospel sing along at 9:00 a.m. and Fireweed
opens the shows at 10:00 a.m. The shows
continue all day on two stages until 7:00p.m. but
your group would be free to arrive and leave at
anytime you want. Also, Fireweed will be
performing at 2013 SDC International Meet at
Welcome night.
