banquet will be at the Wood

River High School, which is an

alcohol free zone; but, the

hotels are within easy crawl-

ing distance of several bars

and restaurants. Sensible

driving is always urged.

Now back to the closer

future. March 22nd is our an-

nual meeting and time to

elect new officers. Thanks to

all that have volunteered or

been volunteered. Rod's pep

talk to Realy Ann convinced

her she is ready for the top

and Bill Dryden will try the

2nd seat for a year. Wes

Seideman is checking the

books, James Barry will keep

track of membership, Rick

Mills will still keep our web

site going, and the Otterness’

will produce the newsletter.

That leaves an event coordi-

nator open …... Prez words continue on page 4

Happy Valentine's Day!

Charlie and I will be ac-

cepting birthday wishes

too. Make sure to hug

your significant other

before suggesting that

you need to shine the old

British car again. Spring

is coming and I fear this

grey-shine is one of

those English weather

adaptations. Trips to

Bogus may lift your spir-

its, the sun is there. I'm

sure by St. Patrick's Day

we'll have the tops down

and be looking forward

to the annual banquet on

March 22. Have you

RSVP’d yet? Contact

Nancy O with your dinner

choice.

So speaking of cruis-

es, this year; the IBCC

Summer Tour will be vis-

iting the Wood River Val-

ley. We hope to provide you

with a choice of destinations

to fill out your passport. A top

ten list will give you at least

that many places to see and

visit between Hailey and Stan-

ley. Of course, the journey to

and from Hailey has at least

three ways to get there which

include freeway, off-way, and

the long way around the

curves. Those detouring to

Jackpot will be considered lost

and broke. Hopefully folks will

make it known if they want to

pair up and choose their

speed and routes. We will

have a food truck at registra-

tion on Friday - encouraging

you to hang around or make

some short trips to thrift

stores, car stores, or just view

the mountains. Hailey allows

open containers and the food

truck will have a vendors li-

cense. Our Saturday evening

Thank You to Rick Mills, Bill Dry-

den, Bob Huston, Randy Stei-

ner's robot room storage, and

Nick and Sue Brown for organiz-

ing and cataloging the books.

So get out in that cold garage

and finish up that winter project.

Rick and Rick will they be done

this year? Lynn, will the twelve

cylinders really go back into the

white car?

PS—thank you to Mike and Bar-

bara Hoyne for arranging the

January Pub Night at Crescent

No Lawyer Bar and Grill—at least

24 members braved the rainy,

icy, snowy night!

Nancy found that some other clubs

have committees. For the peace of

mind of the other officers it really is

nice if we know where we are going

ahead of time. So speak up, be

volunteered, or form a group of you

to accept this office. Thanks

And speaking of Pete, the For

Petes Sake award is a member

voted trophy for our appreciation of

what one of our members has

done for the club, community, or

mankind. Nancy will be distributing

ballots at the annual dinner or oth-

erwise defining the rules but the

short bit is let us know a name,

why you think they deserve the

trophy, and sign your name. You'll

be anonymous but we thought this

would keep Terry from stuffing the

ballot box for Lionel. Your material

might be used in a newsletter or

award ceremony, your name will

only be used with your permission.

Deadline for nominations will be

announced. The Trophy will be

awarded at summer tour.

Happy driving to everyone!

Time for a new contest … Name that widget, car part, or who’s car is that!

Here is the first “widget” who can tell what it is and what can you

use it for on your British Car?

Hint: think drive train

Look for the answer in next month’s newsletter.

Got a picture of some car widget or car part that I can use to

“stump” the club members? Don’t hesitate to send your picture to

me along with the answer!

Receiving Captain

Thomas Hoyne’s

Medal of Honor

(Mike’s Dad)

Several of you probably saw on the December 2nd news when Mike & Barbara Hoyne received posthu-

mously, Mike’s father’s Medals of Honor. Captain Thomas Hoyne, was born in 1910 on the north side of

Boise. He served in WW II. Mike and his brother began the process of securing the honors for their Dad

in 2008. Like many service men who had served—their records were destroyed in a fire in St. Louis,

MO. Captain Thomas Hoyne served in the Pacific Theatre from July 1942 to his death December 24,

1944. He and 56,000 other service men are buried in the American Cemetery in Manila, Philippines.

Pictured below is Mike holding a couple of the medals and another picture of all the medals. Don't hesi-

tate to ask Mike and Barbara about the medals.

had the body restored and painted stock Tahiti Blue in 2001. Replaced the convertible top and did the interior res-

toration myself – seats, door panels, carpeting. Dash and console are original. I’ve kept it in good mechanical con-

dition. Repairs include replacing water pump, fuel pump, alternator, battery, and other miscellaneous repairs as

needed. It could be a good daily driver. I also have original owner’s manual, tonneau cover, unattached luggage

carrier, Haynes MGB Owner’s Workshop Manual and miscellaneous box of parts. Although I’ve loved driving it over

the years, I need to sell it because I am moving on to other interests. $8500 OBO. Call Paul Philbrook 208-703-

Includes: 2 sets of wheels and tires (beautiful condition). This car has less than 1000 miles since it was built. It

is street legal (lights, seat belts, fenders, roll bar) and can be a daily driver, but it is also Auto-Cross ready. The car
