BAIRD AND
MARGO (MILLING) FOSTER'S CANADIAN TRIP |
|
|
Baird &
Margo (Milling) Foster have returned from a 1,000+
mile round trip to Kingston, |
|
|
Ontario,
Canada in their 1962 Austin-Healey. There they
participated in Conclave '09, |
|
|
he yearly
meet of the Austin-Healey Club of America, June
21-26. |
|
|
|
|
|
A day of torrential rain both on the trip up and the
return helped them find where the |
|
|
leaks are!
The weather was clear for the rest of the trip and
the event. Baird's Colorado |
|
|
Red Healey
won first in its class (Mark II BJ7). Attractions
in the area included the Rideau |
|
|
Canal,
Thousand Islands, and Fort Henry (a defense for the
British at the mouth of the St. |
|
|
Lawrence
River and Lake Ontario during the war of 1812).

BAIRD AND
MARGO (MILLING) FOSTER |
| |
Classmates Baird and Margo Milling Foster and their
1962 Austin-Healey were invited |
| |
to
exhibit their British sports car at the Burn
Prevention Foundations prestigious |
| |
Concours d
Elegance of the Eastern United States in Bethlehem,
PA, May 29-31. It was |
| |
the 20th
anniversary of the event. About 130 exceptional
vehicles from a 1903 Marr to a |
| |
new 2009
supercharged Calloway Corvette were displayed. A
concours car is judged on |
| |
the basis of
the style, beauty, and elegance of the vehicle. |
| |
|
| |
Special guest Janet Guthrie, the first woman to earn
a start at the Indy 500 in 1977, |
| |
rode in the
Fosters car as navigator on a 50-mile tour
preceding the event, along with 30 |
| |
other
vehicles-including a 1917 Stanley steam car and a
1917 Harley-Davidson |
| |
motorcycle
with sidecar. Sports car racer Guthrie also drove
in the Daytona 500, and her |
| |
9th
place record finish in the 1978 Indy 500 remained
the highest by a female driver until |
| |
2005. |
| |
|
| |
The Fosters Colorado Red Healey was one of the few
cars that were driven to the |
| |
concours
event; most cars invited are automotive artworks
transported in trailers. The |
| |
Healey was
awarded a Bethlehem Star Award, given to cars worthy
of recognition that |
| |
are not the
class-winning car in their category. |
| |
|
| |
The Fosters are very active in various Austin-Healey
clubs here and in England. Baird |
| |
is a member
of the Society of Automotive Historians and has
written a number of articles |
| |
for marque
magazines. |

DON FISHER (Mount Laurel, NJ). |
| |
Don Fisher & his wife, Judy, were on a trip
across the garden state, and they have |
| |
challenged the class of '56 to try "The Amazing Race
Across The Garden State" -
picture. |
| |
The following are the rules & a description of the
trip as explained by Don: |
| |
|
| |
Here is some information regarding the
"amazing race across the Garden State" You |
| |
were given a picture clue for each of the 21
counties -
picture.
You had to figure out where |
| |
it was, go there and have your picture taken holding
the Magazine (sample shown - |
| |
picture).
There were also 10 bonus clues, also in 10 counties, with no pictures.
You had |
| |
to figure them out and follow the same drill-picture
taken holding magazine. We did all 31 |
| |
questions in three and a half days (290 miles) and
had a ball. Judy said it was the most |
| |
she has seen of the state ever. We turned our
pictures in fairly early, but the contest runs |
| |
to July 6th and results will not be known until
August. (Hoboken was great, with 35 |
| |
restaurants listed in Zagats, NJ restaurant review.)
I throw it out as a challenge to any of |
| |
the class of '56 to try. Just pick up a copy of the May issue of New Jersey Monthly. |

I am eternally grateful for the financial
assistance. It is difficult for me to capture with
words how truly flattered I am by your gift of
encouragement through this scholarship. Not only
does it give me the physical means of advancing my
education, but it gives me a distinct sense of
confidence knowing that there is an entire community
behind me, pushing me to my greatest potential and
forever embracing me if [I] should ever need
assistance.
