Steve Bishop

The Woodie world, and the Penns Woods Chapter, recently lost our good friend Steve Bishop.

Although we lived in close proximity to one another, the majority of our communication was via email, it seemed as though Steve preferred that method of communication over all others.

On a personal level, I truly admired what Steve was doing with the NWC website, I was thankful that the NWC had someone thinking progressively and working in that capacity.


In addition to his role as administrator to the NWC board, Steve was also working toward the restoration of his own 1950 ford wagon.

I don't know if Steve ever actually planned to finish the car, as it seemed as though he enjoyed the process immensely, for it was through that process, that Steve had become an expert in many aspects of these cars and was eager to share his knowledge with others.

The history of Steve's knowledge, and contributions to the Woodie world live on thanks to the NWC message board. (which I am certain Steve would be happy to know)

Steve, You are surely missed by The Penn's Wood Chapter, and all of the Woodie world.

The Wagon Train.. Our First RUN

A Few Years ago The Penns Wood chapter did a covered bridge Tour, it was cool.. but we were looking for something more.. (and we'ed already driven across all the bridges in the area!)

this was something more, and for me, nothing could have been better.

driving my antique cars, has always been my goal. I have enjoyed a show or two, but I am tired of sitting in lawnchairs (i have a lazyboy at home) and dont care much for the "DJ sounds" played at most venues.

So I organized a small group of fellow club members and friends, to embark on the first annual "Wagon Train"

As such.. I hope that this is, infact, the first of many such experiences.

WOODIE WAGONS AT TUCKERTON..

Wednesday (august 15, 2007) fellow Penns Wood member George Beebe and I made the trek to Tuckerton, to do a little pre-show scouting..

Tuckerton promises to be an excellent venue for our Next event..

the seaport is situated within walking distance of several eateries, (including a vintage Stewarts root beer! in operation since 1969) as well as ample shopping available nearby for those inclined.

Here are a few things you'll see at the Tuckerton seaport society.

An ongoing elco cruiser restoration
