2012 HPAC "Mopar Family Reunion"
Car Show is Around the Corner
Our 28th annual car show and swap is just around the corner and the registration deadline is approaching.  If you plan to attend, and want to guarantee you will receive a meet shirt, the deadline for pre-registration is a June 1st postmark on your entry envelope.  This will allow us to get an accurate count for the shirts to be printed.  If you would like to order a long sleeve version or a kid's size meet shirt, this is also the deadline for the order as these will not be available for sale at the show, only pre-order.
Attention potential Swappers or Vendors - If you pre-register before June 1st you will receive (1) FREE normal vendor space for each one you pay for in advance.  This could be a great savings if you have alot of merchandise to display.
Click HERE for the registration form and mail it today.....

In Loving Memory ..........
For those who may not have heard, Dick Drake's wife, Beverly passed away April 19th.  Dick had passed away on March 30.
Dick and Bev were both responsible for founding our club, but were also there to help and provide guidance and "insight" when needed.  Please plan to come out, with or without the your favorite Mopar this Saturday and celebrate the life of both of them.

Here are a few comments which have come into the club email regarding Dick.
That is very sad news. My heart goes out to Bev, Kyle, Cindy & the rest of the Drake family and to the HPAC family that will miss him greatly. - Rachel Willard

Very, very sad to hear as Dick was just a wonderful guy. We recently had a member of the KC Viper Club pass away and several Vipers attended the funeral. They ended up leading the procession to the cemetery, followed by his Dad's '59 Coronet and the '72 Charger he owned in high school. It was very touching and the family really appreciated it. Perhaps it might be a fitting tribute for all of the area Mopars to attend the services when they are announced. Rest in peace Mr. Drake. - Chris Marshall

Very sad news I just got word that My good friend and mentor Richard Drake (Dick) has passed away today . God Speed my friend ! - Stuart Sutton

Dick was a very dear friend, he showed me what to look for when I was looking to buy a Superbird. He really went all the way to help me. Thanks again for all the great memories Dick....Rich & Judy Bolzenius
