Saturday evening
found us at the Joint AMCRC & Marlin Club’s Awards Banquet.
Seventy guests were on hand for the event. Noted author and historian
Patrick Foster treated us to a wonderfully entertaining and informative
presentation on the evolution of the Rambler into Motor Trend’s “1963 Car
of the Year”. Chris Ziemnowicz of the Marlin Club produced a slide
show featuring the winner’s cars to accompany the award presentations and
the dinner was capped off by a lively auction. Joe Liption,
Vice President of the Marlin Club served as auctioneer for their club.
The Met New York/New Jersey's own Vanna White (Rosemarie Stathes) helped
raised over three hundred dollars for their chapter!
