Club Picnic Meeting • Oct. 16, 2004
Home of Charles & Kim de Bourbon
Delaware Water Gap, Pa.
The last club picnic meeting of the year was held Oct. 16 at the home of
Charles and Kim de Bourbon in Delaware Water Gap. The weather was pretty
decent for a mid-October day, and Dick and Louise Horn even arrived with
the top down!
No one else was that brave, although there was a nice assortment of
little British cars on the lawn . . . plus a few trucks and SUVs!
Dennis Silance arrived in his newly restored silver 1968 MGB GT, which
was featured in the October newsletter. Another car that got a lot of
attention was Don Lawson’s beautiful 1949 MG TC, which he drove over
from his shop, Northeastern Classics in East Stroudsburg.
Featured food was an authentic British shepherd’s pie, provided by
Union Jack’s Cafe in nearby Portland. There was a bit of confusion
when Kim took the foil off the top, because her friend Stef, the English
chef, had written what looked like “5W” on top of the large
“pie” in a clever squiggle of mashed potatoes. Just as she was
wondering if that was a Castrol oil reference, clever Ken Beck suggested
we turn it around . . . Actually, it said "MG!"
We also welcomed new members Keith and Terri Wolfe of Vera Cruz, who
were invited to the picnic meeting by Ken and Cindy Beck. Ken is
in the process of “straightening out” the engine on Terri’s 1975
MGB, which she just bought in June. Terri is eager to learn all about
her new little car, which she calls “Lonnie.”
