Shades of The Past

Last week I asked about your “Retirement Toys”.

Over the last weekend I took my “toy”, the SLK, to Gatlinburg.

September is the time of two large car events in Pigeon Forge. The Shades of the Past Hod Rod Round Up last weekend and the Grand Rod Run next weekend.

The Shades of the Past Hod Rod Roundup in Pigeon Forge is a love / hate event for me.

I love to see the hundreds old restored or customized cars.

I hate what it does to traffic in Pigeon Forge.

It can take hours to go from one end of Pigeon Forge to the other.

However, lined up along both sides of the roadway for miles, are some of the most incredible cars you could ever want to see.

There were restored cars, hot rods, muscle cars, specialty cars, and every thing in-between.

I saw a restored ’32 Packard for $185,000. Lots and lots of ’55, ’56, and ’57 Chevrolets. Not to mention almost every year of Corvette.

I parked at one end of town and started walking towards the other. I never made it. In three days I probably only saw about half of the cars.

Here is a look at some of the cars.

Do you have a "retirement toy" ?

Did you get a "retirement toy"? Or, do you have time to play with your "toys" now that you are retired?

I haven't retired yet, however I am working less and playing more. My retirement "toy" is a SLK 280 convertible I got to drive on the hard packed sands of Daytona Beach. Then I sold the Daytona condo. Still, it's a great ride. And a great toy.

I know many of CHS '60 classmates have been hit by the downturn in the economy. But, I know many, like me, bought their "toys" before the current "doom and gloom" economy. So, I asked Juanita to email the class and have them send me some pics of their favorites. Some did. Most didn't.

Maybe they're like me. Haven't retired yet. No time for "toys". Or maybe it's as simple as not being able to figure out how to email a picture.

Anyway, if you have a "toy" (it doesn't have to be expensive to be fun) how about emailing a picture to NormanRMiller@yahoo.com and I will share it with the class. If you can't figure out how to send that pic, email me a story about your toy and I'll post it on the blog.

Mickey McCamish

Mickey McCamish, a member of the reunion planning committee has almost finalized the Friday night plans at Manker-Patten and Saturday night at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.

His organizational skills are nothing short of amazing, but could be expected given his background.

From the website of the Chattanooga Classic, consider the following.......

Mickey McCamish Named Chattanooga Classic Manager






Mickey McCamish, who has directed the LPGA Championship and the Senior PGA Tour Championship, has been named to replace Sam Woolwine as manager of the Chattanooga Classic.

McCamish became a member of the Classic's executive committee last year after retiring from his position of president at Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday and returning to his native Chattanooga.

He returned to Chattanooga in March and in July became the executive director of the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Tennessee. McCamish will be allowed to remain that position while serving as Chattanooga Classic manager.

This gives me the opportunity to make a difference in the two passions in my life, epilepsy and golf, said McCamish. This enables me to give back to the Chattanooga community.

The PGA Tour has long been an advocate of charitable giving and the Chattanooga Classic has supported many charities in the community. Among those are the National Cancer Foundation, First Tee of Chattanooga, Chattanooga Children's Home, Bethel Bible Village and Alexian Village (Alzheimer's Foundation).

This is a win-win situation for both parties, said Chip Baker, Friends of the Festival executive director. We get a guy with great experience and he's connected to a great charity.

McCamish had served as on the staff of Golf Holiday since 1994, becoming president in 1997. The marketing cooperative had an annual budget of $9 million. During McCamish's tenure, the annual economic impact of Golf Holiday exceeded $1 billion.

Prior to being named president of Golf Holiday, McCamish was the chairman of the Senior PGA Tour Championship, played at the TPC course in Myrtle Beach.

He also worked for 25 years with DuPont. Several of those years were spent as the director of Sports Programs. He was chairman of the LPGA Championship, one of that organization's major tournaments, for nine years, from 1985-1993.

McCamish is also a retired captain in the U.S. Navy, serving 27 years in an active and reserve capacity. He is a Vietnam veteran.

Marcia Gentry, president of the Epilepsy Foundation board of directors, lauded the Chattanooga Classic for allowing the foundation to become a Classic charity.

With this partnership the Chattanooga Classic is making a difference in the lives of people with epilepsy, she said.

The First Day of School !!!

Well, it caught me by surprise!

With no kids going back to school and grand kids in Colorado I really didn't have a frame of reference.


I just can't believe school starts so early now. Remember when we started after labor day?

It was too hot even then. I would hate to think we started this time of year with no A/C.

For those of you outside of Chattanooga, we have a new High School this year. East Hamilton School.

My kids went to Ooltewah High. When I was at City I don't think I knew any one at Ooltewah. That was the "sticks" then.Then Ooltewah got so large the School Board voted a new school for us in East Brainerd. Very handy. If we still had kids in school.

Anyway, in just a few weeks it will be 50 years since we started our senior year at City. Kinda makes you feel old doesn't it? Oh well, better than the alternative.


So please mark your calenders.
