If Katherine Eppley, our wheels editor, is willing, why not post her email address here on the forum. I'd be happy to relay it to some of our local members with kids/grandkids participating in the junior program. Maybe others would be willing to do the same.<P>Jan K.

Doug<P>Thanks for the nice words about my article, I'd be happy to do something on Rachel for Wheels. As Jan K. indicated, if Katherine is willing to post her email address on the forum, we can share it with members who have kids and grandkids. I'm sure there are people out there with something to contribute. <P>Patty K.

Patty<BR>I, too, enjoyed the article about Rachel and<BR>have copied it to re-print in our club's newsletter. We have several new members who have children near her age. I think they would particularly enjoy it. <BR>If you ~ or you, Jan ~ have any objections to the article being reprinted please let me<BR>know. Naturally, credit will be given.<P>Patt

We have a published policy in The Beam stating that reprints are allowed provided proper credit is given to both the publication and the author. So, in other words, reprint away!<P>(I guess I'd better add that same policy to our Beam Excerpts page. Always something more to do...)<P>Jan K.

In response to your statment about Katherine Eppley's e-mail address it is (eppley@erols.com) and I know for a fact that she would love to hear from any and all as to items that would be of interest to the group covered by Wheels. At the moment she is trying hard to finish the project of moving to a new home but I know she is always on the lookout for anything to make Wheels a more interesting and informative newsletter. I also think although I haven't checked but Peter was to put her address and e-mail contact on the page with the Wheels intro.

PattyK and JanK, I enjoyed the article and have added it to the NC Region's website for more people to see. I think it is something all regions and Chapters need to get out to the membership to view.<P>It has been given proper credit along with a link. Keep up the good work. <P>To all the other editor's and webperon's. I'd like to see this DF area become kind of like a big "think tank" were we can talk about ideas for articles that we would like to have for either newsletters or the web. Were we can share article that you think other regions/chapter might like to use (with proper credit and weblinks) I know from doing the Alamance Chapter's and the NC Region's websites that it is hard to get people to give you infromation. Even if you corner them it is still hard. Any thoughts from anyone?

Nova ~ I am in complete agreement with you on using this forum for an idea exchange. I will be the first to ask for help. The Feb issue of our newsletter, which I am working on now, will have an article titled "Highway<BR>Heraldry" that deals with the crests, in-signia or medallions of various makes. I would like to include a graphic of those mentioned. Hence, my call for help. Does anyone have a graphic of the emblems for Buick, Chevy, Chrysler, Plymouth, Ford, Mercury and Cadillac? I would be most grateful for any help anyone can give and will be most happy to send a copy of the article as an attachment to anyone who wants to read it and possibly re-print it. Thanks in advance for whatever you might do.<BR>Patt<p>[This message has been edited by Ms63falcon (edited 03-05-2001).]

I have emblems for the following - <P>1. 2 Buick - the older script (color) and the newer shield (b/w)<BR>2. Chevrolet Bowtie (both b/w & color)<BR>3. Ford - blue oval (color)<BR>4. Cadillac (b/w)<BR>5. Chrysler (b/w)<BR>6. Plymouth (b/w)<BR>7. I do not seem to have the Mercury logo, but I will have to double check.<P>The only problem is the black and white emblems are not real crisp as they were copied from a magazine ad. If you can not find any others they would work. Let me know if you need them.<P>24T42

Hello,<BR> I am sorry to be so long in responding to some of the earlier posts, but I just got my system up and running again after moving to a new home. <BR> I am definitely interested in receiving any and all information about children involved in the AACA for Wheels! My email address is in each issue of Wheels and on the website as well: eeppley@erols.com<P> I am always trying to encourage the children to send in articles about their families/AACA, photos, drawings, poems, short stories, auto-related projects, and any other auto-related items. Wheels should always have items not only about the children, but also from the children. Please be aware that any item submitted may have to be edited to fit into space available.<BR> I have checked out the Beam Excerpts page with Rachel's picture and story which I will definitely use in upcoming Wheels with credit given to Patty Kamholtz.I enjoyed the article and will be trying to get in touch with Patty to edit the article for Wheels.<BR> Thanks very much for all your help with the Junior Membership and with Wheels!<BR>Katherine<P> <BR>

Hal-lalayoo (or however that's spelled) now this part of the DF is really working. It was intended to provide just what this thread has suggested - a real forum for us editors to communicate ideas - and yes I did say us - I am now the editor of The Marmon News, the newsletter for The Marmon Club and will again start up with the One-Lunger, the newsletter for the AACA Single Cylinder Cadillac Registry. Please keep this part of the DF vital and alive - all of you.

Judy,<BR>Yes, indeed, I would like to have the insignia that you've got. If anyone else<BR>out there has one or all, send them along<BR>and I will use what I can.<BR>And thanks for the help. Hope I can return<BR>the favor. We are leaving mid-day on Wed<BR>for the Punta Gorda meet and hope to see some of you there.<BR>Patt

Patt,<P>When you get back, check your mailbox - ebox that is. A couple I mail you are not the greastest but could be used if you can't find anything else.<P>24T42<P>PS - I would like a copy. I have Word 2000.

It is great to see all the enthusiasm for the youths now becoming a reality in AACA. I have four children and they all have been attending AACA Functions since birth. They enjoy the car shows and the flea markets. I hope to see more youths becoming involved this year. John Walker, Vice President of Membership AACA

John,<P>I am very glad to see the excitement on the National level for youth involvement in the AACA. It has given me motivation to work within our region to involve kids in our events on a more regular basis. We're hoping to have a junior newsletter out this year in the Wisconsin Region as well as more activities at our events that will keep our youth interested.<P>Patty K.<BR>
