I am looking for ward to the
summer and the opportunity
to use the cars and doing some
touring.

for Pat and her family at their
loss. There is a statement in this

So far I have made reservations
at the Red Lantern Inn for the
Covered Bridge Tour and the
Otesaga Hotel for the Henry Joy
Tour. Earlier I made reservations
for Packard Nationals and was
a b l e t o b o o k t h e l a s t ro om
available at the meet hotel.
It has been a long winter and we
are all getting stir crazy. Here
in Vermont the maple sap has
not started to run and the syrup
season is beginning quite late.
I am told that spring is coming
and the warm weather fun will
begin right after mud season.
There is a PAC board meeting
in Salado, Texas; I will escape to
the meet and meeting and look
for early warmth.
This issue contains the new 2014
Schedule and there are some
changes to the NAP Board of
Directors. Most important new
officer is the Activities Director,
George Sweezey. He is catching
up to the position and is looking
at having several assistants to
cover the wide geographic area
of Nor t h At l ant ic Pack ards .
Other positions filled or changed

2 014 D u st Of f Tou r
May 4, 2014
Please join us for the first tour of the 2014 season. We will have a driving tour and
then a great brunch for all who come. After all this we will have a membership
meeting and then all of us will go home with happy memories.
We will begin the tour at 10:00 AM at the Newton Marriott. After meeting there,
we will drive back roads into Concord, most likely stopping at the Battleground
Visitor Center and the Old North Bridge (pictured). The tour will then drive on
to the Colonial Inn in the center of Concord for a brunch at 12:00.
This is a great opportunity to see many friends who have been cooped up for the
past 12 months (Ok, 6 months, but it seems longer). The cost of the brunch to
members is $17.00. NAP will pick up the remainder of the cost.
Please notify George Sweezey at lasalleman39@msn.com or call 508-339-1157
before April 28 to confirm your spot at the table. If you know someone who does
not have email, please give a copy of this to them.

GEORGE GAGNON
George Gagnon passed away suddenly on February 18,
2014. Ruth & I drove down to the Holy Trinity United
Methodist Church in Danvers for the morning service
on February 22nd. Once there we joined John Evers. The
church itself is very attractive in its 60's contemporary
architecture, with a high vaulted ceiling and a spectacular
floor to ceiling stained glass wall behind the alter area. I'm
sure George, who was a member there, admired the high
quality of work necessary to build such a well-designed
church. This venue was a most inspirational place to witness
such an incredible outpouring of grief and love to a life that
was well spent.
Pat and George have a large family and they were all there
to bid George farewell. Inevitably one learns more about a
valued acquaintance upon their death than when they were
alive. Cheryl and Jack Billings, Pat and George's daughter
and son-in-law, each gave a poignant narrative of George's
life. We learned that he had to quit high school to help
support his parents. He later worked hard in the trades
(many times two jobs) and was well liked by his friends and
loved by his family. To paraphrase "It's A Wonderful Life,"
George died "The Richest Man in Town."
He was quiet but not shy,
he had a natural smile
and a twinkle in his eye.
Here, Ruth and I would like to add an additional facet to
George's life, as viewed through the prism of the Packard
Club. I recall when Ruth and I first met George and Pat. It
was shortly after they bought their "new" Packard, a very
nice 1954 Clipper Super Sedan. In 2002 they drove to the
late Darrell Hawksley's first Packard picnic at his fabulous
home in Avon MA. I remember that day very well, as Ruth
and I had seen the same car at an Eastern Packard meet in
Newton, CT two or three years earlier. At that time George
could walk and get around, but it was obvious his legs were
bothering him. What we didn't know was that he had a
massive, almost fatal heart attack five years before, which
had lingering affects. Also, he was suffering from the onset
of diabetes, if everything else to cause pain was not enough.
The last time I specifically remember him driving to a meet
was when he and Pat took their cute little '36 Dodge up to
a luncheon at Hector Ramierez's company in Newburyport
the summer of 2007. As time passed his knees, consumed
with arthritis, would not allow driving or stair climbing.
Finally in the last three years or so his legs could only be
used to get in and out of his wheelchair and scooter.
What made George's severe health problems so remarkable
is that he refused to let them interfere with one of the
activities he loved, the antique car lifestyle. With Pat's
heroic assistance, patience, and dedication, the Gagnons
had one of the highest meet participation rates of any
members going back to our "new founding" in 1999. They
went to all the Packard picnics, dinners, overnighters,
and the Henry Joy Tours. George did not feel sorry for
himself, nor complain about the pain he was constantly
in. When we would ask him how he was doing, he almost
discussed his health situation in the third person, as if this
was a mechanical problem that he could eventually solve.
I'm sure towards the end he knew he was not going to get
better, but if he confided in anyone, it was only to Pat. Last
September at the second (and just as lovely) Red Lion meet,
he winced in obvious pain unless he sat perfectly still. When
he could not make the Christmas gathering at Ken's we
realized something was really wrong. Thankfully George
is no longer in pain.
George was a most pleasant gentleman. He was quiet but
not shy, he had a natural smile and a twinkle in his eye. He
enjoyed life to the fullest right to the end. We are privileged
and honored to have known George Gagnon. He will not
be forgotten.
In lieu of flowers our club will be making a donation to The
Friends of the Danvers Council on Aging.

P
a good representation of Packards in attendance
arker Roaf, our membership Chair for North
Atlantic Packards, holds an Autumn open house at
his business to encourage auto enthusiasts to dust off
their cars and come enjoy a day of food, fun and cars.
This open house was offered in late October after the
Hershey AACA Meet.
Parker brought out many of the cars he had in the shop,
including a 1926 Packard Phaeton and my 1930 Club
Sedan. There were a number of people who showed up
to see the shop and see what cars Parker is currently
working on. There were a number of projects in process
such as George Sweezey’s 1954 Caribbean. There were
also an Oldsmobile 8 cylinder car and a v23 Cadillac,
both from the ‘30s. Parker has a number of test stands
for diagnosing car problems, some contemporary to
the cars. Parker is justifiably proud of his shop, which
he had recently moved to this new location, a move
that allowed him to triple his workspace.
There were a number of Parker’s customers and friends,
along with some other curious people in attendance.
One was a gentleman from Roxbury with a ‘56
Caribbean, complete with photos of its restoration
process. Fran Mayer came up from the Hartford CT
area. He ended up returning later in the year with his
car for Parker to work on. Peter Lief came with his ‘41
Coupe and Les Herzog and Pat Turano came to visit
and meet with others who had come.

plenty to drink.

T
he Annual Holiday Banquet and Annual
Meeting of the North Atlantic Packards
There were more than thirty members and guests
attending the banquet held last December 8th at
Ken’s Steak House in Framingham MA. It was
organized by Tom and Marie Hickey and they did
a very good job with the dinner. We all joined for
refreshments and hors d'oeuvres in the dining
room. There were door prizes displayed at a table
where everyone could see them, and Packard
clothing for sale. There was a sign in sheet to
know who was there. It was great seeing all the
members there; we were able to catch up with a
number of people we had not seen for some time.
H oliday B a nquet
As Les was unable to attend due to weather
concerns (he operates a snow removal company),
Tom Hickey took the job as host and leader for
the Membership Meeting. It consisted of a review
of the year and current business (see p. 5 for the
minutes of the meeting.)
All who attended had a great time and went home
with full stomachs and happy spirits. ❧
The dinner was served, with a salad starter and
then the main course. Most ordered the roast
beef and were not disappointed with the food.
Other choices included baked scrod and chicken.
Dessert was a chocolate cake that was quite good.
We sat with Paul Aldrich, Frank Wemple, Chuck
Flinchbaugh, and Marll and Alice McDonald.
We had good conversation about a wide range
of subjects, mostly revolving around Packards.

1941 160 Touring Sedan
1941 Packard Touring Sedan, Model 1904 in Barola Blue and
Silver French Grey metallic. 3 speed standard transmission with
overdrive and Electromatic Clutch,
This vehicle is fully equipped with nearly every option Packard
offered in 1941, except air conditioning. This vehicle has had only
three owners. The second owner was Tom Mix, who restored
the car to its present condition, refurbishing as needed all body
and mechanical aspects of the vehicle. He drove it as his favorite
Packard touring car until 2001 when the vehicle was purchased
by the current owner with 58,000 miles on the odometer. It has
been maintained in excellent touring condition since.
In the spring of last year the car participated in a Henry Joy
Tour based at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
During a week long driving tour that logged nearly one thousand
miles, the car performed flawlessly, without incident. The vehicle
currently has just over 70,000 miles on the odometer. The car
has received many awards and has been used as a limousine in
several weddings.
Price is $42,900.00
