Applause
Volunteer of the
Quarter:
Don Petersen
Donald
Petersen is a founding member of the Museum and “Car Guy” from early on.
Don has served as recording secretary of the Museum and past board
member. He is our swap meet chairman during July. Currently Don is
serving as a mentor to the speedster program. He is bringing his
expertise in body, fender and paint work to help build the present
speedster under construction. Don works great with the kids. He explains
and then steps back to allow the young people the opportunity to do the
work themselves. He often says, “If they make a mistake, that’s all
right because that’s how they learn.” Don has donated many tools and
supplies to the speedster program. Thank you, Don, for all your hard
work!
Volunteer of the
Quarter:
Dave Mulheron
By Doug Nelson
Dave is serving as a mentor for the
speedster program and has taken on the responsibility of organizing and
maintaining the “Speedster garage” in “ship-shape” form.
He was a key person in building the garage in
2010-2011 while employing his talents with hammer and saw.
Dave has restored his own 1926 Model T Ford roadster
pickup and shared it at the Museum.
Thanks a
bunch to a super supporter!
