| New Bugle Editor
The Buick Bugle has a new editor, Pete Phillips from Texas. Pete has been a member of the BCA since 1977, and is extremely knowledgable on Buick cars and history. He has several college degrees, but most importantly, a degree in Antique Auto Restoration from McPherson college in Kansas. He has also done a considerable amount of editing and writing on automotive subjects. He has served as Head judge, held various offices in the local chapters, and served as a board member of the BCA for several years. We wish you luck in your new endeavor. Paul Meyer, President, BCA |

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors. But they all have to live in the same box. | |

Although I'm only a recent member, and have not received a vast amount of Bugle's to date, I would like to say, not only my congratulations and thank you to the new Editor, but also thanks to the previous encumbants who have taken on what appears to be a thankless job to date.
Thank you | |

Huh? Hate to appear stupid, but what's up with this? I saw no other topics posted that explain what's going on here....just an out-of-the-blue message that Pete was going to be editor. (Congrats, by the way, Pete!)
Is Snowden and/or the Baker Press being booted-out by the BCA? Or is Pete going to be working for/with Baker Press?
I know there has been some heated discussion about errors/mistakes in the Bugle: is this the reason for change, or is it financial? Was this decision made at the recent BCA board meeting?
I would have thought there'd be some explanation of this news on the "BCA Events, Business, and News" section of this forum  | |

Congrats. to Pete for stepping up to do this job. It will be no easy feat, however I know that Pete will do a great job.
My thanks also goes out to the BOD for finaly realizing that this issue was inportant.
Nothing against the last editor, there simply was too many mistakes.

What I have heard is Robert Snowden, Bugle Editor resigned from the position, and I don't have all the details, but Peter Phillips must have volunteered for the job, and he's also on the Board of Directors for the BCA, for another year. And Peter has been very aggressive in wanting this postion for years! Since his recent degree in Automotive Restoration and his background and desire to do great things for the Buick Community, we welcome him as our new Editor!
PS Now Peter, don't make any mistakes, cause we'll... Well, no we won't, good luck, and don't hesitate to ask for help! Anytime, anyday! Go for it!
