Pate Swap Meet
For the third year in a row Legends club sponsored a booth at
the Pate Swap Meet at Texas Motor Speedway. It has become
well-known among our Legends members for being a great place to
stop, rest, have lunch and a cold one during a day of “junking”.
Plus a few people have cleared their garages of excess parts. We
set up the booth on Wednesday, April 27. Bill Preston planned and
prepared lunch and dinner Thursday and Saturday. The threat of rain
on Friday kept most of us home, but I understand that a couple of
hardy souls went out to sell some prized Corvette parts. Thanks to
Dan Jacobs, Jerry Echols, Tom Entrekin, Gary Wil-liams, Mark
Elliott, Tom Douglas, Sam Deneault, Jack Stewart and Kevin Shedden
for coming out to work the booth. JC Cherry, Bob Rockett and Joe
and Kathryn Maulsby stopped by too. We seem to have sold most of
our extra stuff, so Legends is not going to sponsor a booth next
year. Perhaps we’ll do it again in a couple of years.

Club Shirts & Hats
by Jack “Rude Dog” Hays I attended the AER Spring Classic car
show on May 7 at Sam Pack’s museum in Carrollton. This year they
placed all Corvettes in one class. At the end of the awards
ceremony they awarded three class trophies to Danny Barboza from
Denton and Gordon Moore, both with sweet 61’s and my 1965 Glen
Green Coupe, known to you as “Vetzilla”. At the end they gave out
top awards to the 16 cars that received the most votes regardless
of class. I was shocked, that out of about 250 cars, Vettzilla was
awarded a Top 16 award! Thanks to all the Legends members who
helped me restore my trusted ‘65.

It’s Time to Say Goodbye On April 13, 2016, by vote of the
board, we made the decision to cease Cowtown Cruisin’ for a Cure
Car Show. We have made this decision with careful consideration for
the attendants, the board, and the cause alike. Our decision behind
this was based on several rea-sons, one of them being board members
expressing to us they would not be able to commit to the foundation
due to health reasons or upcoming obligations. In 14 years since
Cowtown Cruisin’ for a Cure Car Show began, we have donated to
Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, Fort Worth and UNT Health
Science over $440,000. This money helped in many ways for treatment
and research for prostate cancer. Dr. Lacko, of UNT Health Science,
has been able to employ an extra person and just recently received
two patents on treat-ment for prostate cancer due to our donations.
Cowtown Cruisin’ for a Cure Car Show has tested over 20,000 men and
made over 1,300 of them aware of potential issues and were sent for
follow up tests. This was a hard decision to be made. We are
pleased with the success and accomplishments of the foundation, the
board members and what were able to provide to the community. Thank
you for your support throughout the years. Sincerely, Chris
Goetz
Founder of Cowtown Cruisin’ for a Cure
“Wheels for Wellness”Saturday, September 17, 2016
Downtown Fort Worth Car Show May 24, 2016 As you may be aware, a
decision was recently made by the founder of the Cowtown Cruisin
for a Cure founda-tion to dissolve the foundation. It was a good
organiza-tion dedicated to a very good cause and did some very
positive things during its existence. I am proud of my past
association with it. With that being said, several of the past
board mem-bers, including myself, feel that there is still a lot
more to be done and clearly want to continue putting on the
Downtown Fort Worth Car Show. Therefore we are in the process of
establishing a new 501c3 non-profit founda-tion “Wheels for
Wellness” and are pleased to inform you that the car show will once
again take place. It is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2016.
We are in the process of developing new flyers, forms, website,
etc. and anticipate having the online registration available by the
first of June. Our goal is to make things bigger and better. We are
excited about the future. Any assistance in getting the word out to
the local Car community is appreciated. Thank you for your
continued support.
Sincerely, Cris LofgrenWheels for Wellness
