Discussion Group – Long time member and former ROA webmaster, Chris Knowles has shut down his popular e-mail discussion group. Chris, who designed our first web site, was our first webmaster and was a valuable assistant to me during the early years, as we moved into the Internet age. Several years ago, Chris hand crafter a large wooden sign with the ROA logo, which you will see displayed at our meets. Chris will be spending more time on his hobby building guitars and his career as Director of Information Technology at Redeemer University. We wish him the best in all his endeavors.

Blank pages- The mailing cover of the last issue of the Riview had three blank pages. That was not by design, but an oversight by the printer.

In Print - The “In Print” article covering the 1971-72 included a summary of a Mechanix Illustrated article that stated in 72 a protective side molding was added.  Member Earl Beauchamp asked me to make it clear that the strip was  offered as an option in 1971, but only in black.

1965 Gran Sport Registry – We have a new registry for those of you who own a 1965 Gran Sport. Member Pat Alston will be collecting information on these models, as others have done for other special editions. For a complete list of registries go to page 11 of this issue.

GM Nationals at Carlisle. As you know the GM Nationals will be held immediately after our meet in Hershey. If you plan to stay over and  register for the GM Nationals, please let me know. If we get 25 or more members to register their Rivieras, we are eligible to register for a free club tent, during their weekend event. Since we expect to have well over 125 Rivieras there all week,  let’s shoot for 50 or more at Carlisle!.
