Chimera Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I just got the new edition in the mail today, which I always look forward to. I just wanted to give credit to Ray Knott and all others that contribute to the RoA mag., The Riview. Just this magazine alone is worth the reasonable cost to become a member IMO. What a great resource. Love the RoA! Awesome and sleek cover with a 71 Grill of a black GS. AND a hot 66 with turbine wheel covers (trending!) on back. Unmatched... PS. Grill is of my 71 not from magazine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I hope to have an article about the Aqua Zephyr in The Riview in the near future.

Love the RoA! I absolutely agree, I love this mag very much too and Ray Knott is doing an amazing job!!! We're often in contact and for me, it's a great honor and a such a pleasure to know him and to be able to do some humble contributions to the Riview. This is a big satisfaction for me, I never thought Ray would ask me to do that! The ROA is for me the best and coolest source of information for Rivieras on the planet!!! 33 minutes ago, NCRiviera said: On a related note, I hope to have an article about the Aqua Zephyr in The Riview in the near future. I look forward to read about that cool Aqua Zephyr, Mike! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Curran Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 As a charter member I have seen the ROA grow and prosper since its inception. I have every issue of the newsletters and Riviews and it is interesting to compare the original typed by hand and photocopied newsletters to the publication that we have today. I have been a member of other clubs over the years and enjoyed the publications that were distributed but the Riview stands out over the others. The enthusiastic membership makes a big difference and Ray Knott as well as the current and former board of director members deserve a big hand. Collectively, it has enabled us to "share the pride" which was and still is the mission of the ROA. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jframe Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I agree, the magazine is worth the price of admission alone. I, too, hope to have an article and pics of my '65 in there shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to ROA #1, it's the active participation of the membership at large ' sharing the pride' in whatever way they can, that makes a big difference ! Thank you Ray, and all the past, present and future participants in keeping the ROA moving ahead on the right track. The ROA Riv iew certainly keeps the membership up to date, and is a quality publication !

Ray_Knott Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I want to thank you all for your kind comments. Even after 33 years I still enjoy preparing the Riview and with the help of many we have kept the ROA alive and well. However, I regret to announce that DeWayne Ashmead, the owner of the '71 on the recent cover and the three-page showcase, passed away this past weekend.

68RIVGS Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sad news indeed Ray, but not so surprising. Over the 33 years we have lost many of our dedicated members and friends in the ROA fgamily. I believe it is just part of 'sharing the pride' as we grow older ! RIP DeWayne, and condolences to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
