Just wondering do thay still give grill a badge when you get a gold award. have a great BUICK day buke (frank)

John thank you for answering I will sure try to do it the way you say.

how do I att a picture. some day I will learn

I stumbled upon a boat till today. It's in pretty good shape. I don't want the car but maybe silly out there is looking for a Buick boat till. The sign on the car says runs good and stops good. I took a quick look at it and I bet that it's a good project: I did find some tiny holes in the roof it was probably sit in Florida Sun for a long time. If anybody is interested I will give it a closer look and take pictures(if I can figure out how to put them in the form) I have no idea what this car is worth and I do not know the owner. But if someone is interested let me know and I will investigate it. Have a great Buick day FRANK (BUKE)

Just a friendly suggestion it would be nice to see a junk yard tour at the nationals.

Bill. Thank you for the update I have talked to Nancy about it and and she said about what you just said the same thing. Being that in mind maybe we can promise the East Coast another national long before 2001. I for one think that would be a fair exchange and maybe put the subject the bed.

Get well john all our prayers are with you and Bee FRANK

Hi everybody. I know Hershey's couple weeks behind us but I just now got back home. I had a great time made a couple dollars spent a couple dollars but I got to say hello to a lot of friends to discuss a lot of things. I just want to put my two cents into the Allentown show. I know it's been discussed but I just have to put my opinion in. I believe that the Allentown show is so far away that things can be changed and it should not be written in stone yet. I am in favor of this being a totally judge show it is an East Coast show and it draws quite a few attendance. There are many people that simply cannot either afford the time to travel across half the United States to have their cars judged. They to pay the same dues and work real hard to keep our Buick club alive. I know they work on their cars and some have never had them judged and are looking forward to this opportunity. I do not think that there opportunity should be ignored. I know this is an anniversary year but every year's anniversary year for some car if it was so important anniversary year the show should have been held in Flint this year. With the crowd that is expected I am sure there'll be enough volunteers to staff the judging committee. I think just the members of this form along and put their opinions out there and had their own poll the board might reconsider this. I for one will be there to judge and give all my time to it everyday need. I don't say this in anger but in my case no judge in and I won't take the time to come up there. So again I ask for the president on down the whole board to reconsider this and think of all the people that would love to have their cars judged. have a great Buick day BUKE (Frank)

thank you all for your kind word's in my time of sorrow. jack was a great man hie is now with his two brother and two sisters.

For the one who knew my brother Jack Batty a BCA member I lost him today may he rest in peace

hi Jack( I can't say that in an airport) as you know I always respect your knowledge on the BCA and on the Buick's. But I do have one complaint about the judging. I was on a team with a brand-new inexperienced captain( now I know everybody can't be experienced onto you have done it once or twice) but of course I would mention any names at a respect for them and the club. But my team captain was overwhelmed with paperwork. We had over a dozen cards in our class which is IC is too much for any Capt. We had two judges that I believe never judge the Buicks before but the judge for another car nationals show. Jack I must tell you that my captain and those two judges killed every car that we judged I complained to him that him and those two judges were spending more than 30 min. on the cars. He gave me the reason that he spent in that much time on it was because he wanted to do it right. Now remember we had over one dozen cars in our class. Myself and another judge were finished in less than 5 min. again we had over a dozen cars to judge we ended up at the banquet and I watched I believe eight bronzes and two gold. I know of one senior that didn't even get gold. Now I know I should have talked to a head judge about my team but I cowered instead. I know that every one of those 12 cars and more work very hard to be there with their Buicks I would not be surprised if we don't lose at least eight members in the BCA out of that class alone. Let me just say this it was a good show the administration did a good job I am not here to judge anyone on our board I just had to get that off my chest. I've judged about 10 shows and I will continue to judge. I do think every judge and Capt. for working so hard on our meets.

I to believe JACK WELCH was expressing his thoughts and his position.that is one of the reason's he recived mY VOTE.if every candidate did the same i am sure it would be better for us all.If you read his announcement that he was asking for your VOTE and why everybody would see he is not a follower but a very good leader.He will listen to the membership before he act's He is always open for ideas and suggestion and a very strong leader.But whom ever you like VOTE.LET'S have the best candidates you feel is right for the whole B C A VOTE Have a great BUICK day FRANK (BUKE)
