Here’s a project for Bob Earl after he clears his garage of that Jag and all the left over parts. He’s got most of the necessary parts already: an older Honda Civic and a bicycle or two. All he needs is a MIG welder and some imagination.

FABAC Sunday Tour - July 4th
As you are aware from John D's recent post on the FABAC site that he has finally got his Spitfire back on the road after a very lengthy repair and restoration period. So the Tour Meister is back and he's already proposing a FABAC tour. This one will take us to beautiful parts of south-western NB this Sunday provided the current weather forecast holds. We will also need committed numbers in order to make reservations at the Birch Grove Restaurant in St. George. Here are John's details and directions. Hope to see many of you on Sunday.
Best
Gary

My Super Hero by Johanna
Team Isaac is off and training for 2021.
Isaac Jewett is my superhero for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada -2021. I rode for him last year, and together, he and I brought in $3,320 for research into children’s cancer. We are going to try and beat that total this year because 1400 children are being diagnosed with cancer every year, and 4 children die of cancer every week. They need our support. As a cancer survivor myself, (I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 8 years ago), I know the benefit of research and excellent medical care, and am so happy to be here and able to pay it forward in gratitude.
Isaac was six when he developed a rash on his arm. His father, Aaron Jewett, took him to the hospital in Fredericton, NB, where bloodwork indicated that Isaac had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and needed to be immediately transferred to the IWK in Halifax. He would remain in treatment at the IWK for the next three months. Initially he had chemo through a Porto Cath several times a week. He had a lumbar puncture every two weeks. The first 29 days of treatment put his cancer into remission. The second 29 days maintained him in remission. Now he is on a maintenance dose.
Isaac is now nine. He still goes to Halifax every three months for a lumbar puncture and chemo. Once a month, he goes to the DECH for his pentamadine. This makes him throw up. Every day, he takes oral chemo, and on Tuesdays, he also takes 10 pills of methotrexate. He will likely have to continue this regime for another 18 months.
And yet, Isaac doesn’t let any of this get him down. He is a regular kid, playing video games, going to school, driving his dirt bike. And when he got his birthday money on May 29, he took his sisters and dad to McDonald’s. He has a heart of gold.
So, let’s show him our love and support. My goal is to cycle 800 km in the month of August 2021 and raise $3000. I am training every day and am ready to accept donations.
If you would like to support Team Isaac, please go to www.greatcyclechallenge.ca, click on “donate”, go to “find a participant” and enter my name (Johanna Bertin). You will receive a tax receipt for the amount directly from the Sick Children’s Hospital. (I know that they messed up in 2016, but they have fixed the problem.
Isaac and I appreciate every single donation. You have made him feel very special, supporting him and other children with such generosity.
Thank you. And thank you as always to the courteous drivers I meet every day.
Johanna Bertin (366-5289) and Isaac Jewett

Back on the road!
Well the car is running great. Because I am under COVID restrictions I have to stay close to the home. I am only allowed to go for groceries. I am only allowed to drive to Oromocto and get a quart of milk. Wearing a mask and gloves and making sure that I follow perfect COVID protocol. Eight more days and I will be able to go for a ride.
Cheers,
John DeW.
FABAC Meeting June 16

Hope to see you there.

A reply from Joe re his latest purchase of a Porsche:
I have wanted a car like this for a while so, pulled the trigger. I can tell you that there has been a movement started that may take place when we can....it is FABACDFTW....
Fredericton Area British Automobile Club Deutschland Fast Touring Wing...
we are among you, and when we can have runs, we will get there first and steal the good tables.

(And David N. thought this might generate some interest:
Get a 20th Anniversary ball cap!
I have purchased twenty FABAC 20th Anniversary ball caps similar to those made for our 10th Anniversary except these are in blue. They work out at $22 each inc tax. Will take them to our first in-person meeting or phone me to reserve one 472 -9895.
