Membership is the key to our club and the bonds we form with one another are priceless.  However, with time we lose our membership to a higher place.  The following members have left us and we will miss them dearly.

Panteleon was the "Quite One" but always there to help any of us.  After spending a career in the military in the Motor Pool, Panteleon could troubleshoot any problem on just about any vehicle we brought to him.  He loved the 'big trucks' as evidenced with his M35A2 which he drove to every event either near or far from his hometown of San Antonio.

Joe was our "Willys Guy" in the club.  If you had a question about a flat fender, Joe was the one to ask.  He loved the CJ variants and would talk at great lengths about his 'latest' project(s).

Former club member George Orsatti passed away on January 28, 2009. Although George never acquired a vehicle he did participate in numerous events with us and was a great club supporter. A Korean Vet, George loved being around the vehicles, the smell of canvass and the club members that kept it all going.
