President’s Message – August 2024

August 1, 2024

I want to start out by thanking our CFMC members for welcoming Bill Emerson and Nancy Ball, his navigator, to Wilmington, as they began their 9000+ mile journey in a 1999 Miata, circumnavigating the USA. For Norm and me, this was a first to have an out-of-state Miata enthusiast request a visit. We were his first stop, and after we had a quick dinner, Bill began his presentation. Bill is a very energetic gentleman, with a favorite saying, “Go Fast and have Fun.” Bill is the past president of Lake to Lake Miata Club, Ocala, FL, author of “The Healey Book”, automotive historian and former car show judge and race car driver. His copilot Nancy Ball is his sidekick and tour scribe. She also is a former fashion writer/editor/columnist/publicist from NYC. We met at Dram Tree Park, and took a picture of all of our cars with the bridge as our backdrop.

Please look at our Event write-up for more information on Bill’s story that he provided to me. I hope we have some members planning events for us all to enjoy. If you have any questions, or need help, please contact John and Peggy Harris. Without our members help in planning events, our calendar does not fill up.
