RICARDO~S ORCHESTRA. FOR SOME MEMBERS THE FESTIVITIES STARTED FRIDAY EVENING WITH PRE-PARTY CELEBRATION COMMONLY KNOWN AS CLEAN-UP AND WERE TREATED TO SUCH WONDERFUL TALES AS THE STORY OF THE TILE IN THE PATIO HOUSE AND THE OLIVE TREE PROCUREMENT STRUGGLE AS TOLD BY DON AFTER THE WORK WAS THROUGH AND SERIOUS DRINKING SET IN. THE PARTY STARTED EARLY ON SATURDAY EVENING AND ROUNDS OF CONVERSATION WERE SPIRITED BY THE THOUGHT OF A MAN SETTING FOOT ON THE MOON ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. RAY COOPER¯ PETER LUELSDORF¯ LYLE ARNOLD PLAYED BARTENDERS AS THE GROUP- WARMED UP TO DINNER AND SOON ALL WERE ENGROSSED IN SAMPLING ALL THE DELICACIES FROM THE BUFFET TABLES. BEFORE WE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING¯ THE DON RICARDO PLAYERS HAD DESCENDED ONTO THE BANDSTAND AND WERE DOING THE THING THAT THEY DO BEST¯ MAKING MUSIC. SHOWSTOPPER NICK FRIESEN APPEARED IN HIS LATEST GAY BLA@E OUTFIT AND LATER HE AND SHELLEY RAMAGE TRADED SHOES JUST FOR FUN AND SO THAT SHELLEY COULD GET THE RIGHT LIGHT-FOOT TECHNIOUE FOR A WALTZ THAT WAS JUST BEGINNING. THE ZIESENHENNES SHOWED EVERYONE UP WITH THE BEST DANCE STYLE. MYRL AND PAULINE CARSON CAME IN FROM LANCASTER TO ENJOY THE EVENING. ALONG WITH THE REGULARS,THE MCGUIGANS ¯ THE COVERTS¯ THE KALBACHS (WERE BACK AGAIN)¯ THE MEYERS¯ TO NAME A FEW WERE ALL ON H~ND TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF THE EVENT.

PORSCHE

uber alles

DON’T BELIEVE THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN FORTUNE MAGAZINE. YOU ARE NOT A SPECIAL BREED OF PERSON JUST BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT A PORSCHE. ANYONE CAN BUY ONE. THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU OPERATE IT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ~N. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE DESIRE TO OWN A PORSCHE IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, THOUGH. THERE ARE CERTAIN DOtS AND DONtTtS THAT ARE CONNECTED WITH THE OPERATION OF A PORSCHE THAT WILL MAKE YOU ACCEPTED AND PRAISED BY OTHER PORSCHE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. PORSCHE MUST BE A WAY OF LIFE AND THIS IS PARTLY EXPRESSED BY JOINING AN ORGANIZATION LIKE PORSCHE .CLUB OF

AMERICA. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE IN A PORSCHELIKE WAY. HOWEVER, WE HAVE MEMBERS WHO JOIN AND ARE NEVER SEEN.

AND

WE HAVE MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR YEARS AND ARE NEVER SEEN. HOV! CUM? WHY WOULD SOME PEOPLE SPEND 18 DOLLARS A YEAR JUST TO HAVE A BADGE ON THEIR CAR? HOW ABOUT SOME OF THESE NEW MEMBERS WHOSE NAMES ARE PRINTED EVERY MONTH COMING TO AN ACTIVITY OR TWO. PICK ONE YOU LIKE AND COME AHEAD. ANYHOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DONtT SUBSCRIBE TO CHRISTOPHORUS, A RECENT ARTICLE MIGHT STAND SOME EMPHASIZING. THE STORY GOES THAT A MAN IN HIS PORSCHE WAS STRANDED ON THE AUTOBAHN WITHOUT A SPARE GAS CAN AND THE ONLY ONE WHO STOPPED TO HELP WAS A FELLOW PORSCHE DRIVER. SOME OF THE PHRASES USED IN THE ARTICLE WERE: ..... IN MAHY SIMILAR SITUATIONS PORSCHE DRIVERS WERE THE FIRST- AND OFTEN ONLY- PEOPLE TO OFFER AID ........ THEY STOPPED IN THE SNOW AND SHOVELED TO GET ANOTHER MOVING ......

WILLINGLY GAVE INFORMATION ON ROAD CONDITIONS ....... SHOWED INITIATIVE AT AN ACCIDENT INSTEAD OF STARING BLANKLY ......... THEY ARE PEOPLE DRIVING A FAIRLY EXPENSlVE CAR, ONE RADIATING A CERTAIN SNOB APPEAL, A CAR WITH ONLY TWO SEATS. IT LOOKS EXCLUSIVE AND IS, MIGHT REALLY TEMPT ONE TO BE A HAUGHTY BRAGGARTYET THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE OF ARROGANT OR BRAGGING WHEN DANGER LOOMS OR THERE IS A NEED FOR AID ....... I BELIEVE THAT IN GENERAL WE ARE FAR TOO CLOSE TO OUR CARS AND TO AUTOMOBILES AS SUCH NOT TO BE IMMEDIATELY READY WITH HELP WHEN ANOTHER MOTORIST HAS TROUBLE ............

SOMEONE WHO DRIVES WELL, WHO ENJOYS DRIVING, COMES INTO MUCH CLOSER CONTACI WITH OTHER TRAFFIC PARTIClPANTS...AND THE LADIES RIDING IN A PORSCHE USUALLY BEHAVE INTHE SAME WAY ..... THE LADY SITTING NEXT TO A PORSCHE DRIVER IS FAR MORE WILLING TO MAKE A HEARTY BREAKFAST AT FIVE IN THE MORNING SO THEY CAN START AT HALF PAST AND COVER 600 OR 700 MILES THAT DAY THAN HER UPSTART

SISTER IN THE BIG SEDAN
