Meeting Speaker for Monday, April 7, 2014

Dr. Ernie Johnson

THE GREAT RACE, or “Why I spent four weeks driving an old car across two continents”

Do you like road trips?  Do you remember when you were a kid and your folks would load the family in the Pontiac, top-off the radiator, and strike off across the desert for the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone Park?  
Our speaker this week is our long-time member and retired physician,  Dr. Ernie Johnson, who recently completed the road trip of a lifetime..  Ernie, along a good buddy, Ed Haag, who alternated driving, recently competed in a grueling car rally from Beijing, China to Paris, France, in a 1940’s era Ford! 
Come see Ernie’s pictures and hear his stories of meeting natives on the road and the mechanical and topographical challenges of driving an 80 year old car on unpaved roads across thousands of miles of foreign lands.  It should be a corker of a presentation so don’t miss it!
