ITEM  # 2: He will always be us.......

On Saturday, September 12th, 2009 our close friend and fellow club member Mr. Wayne Beaman passed away after a long battle with various health issues over the past couple of years. Wayne was a very special "car guy" with a passion for Impalas, and he was always willing to participate and volunteer for any club function.

 We will greatly miss Wayne but he gave us many wonderful memories to keep forever in our hearts. 

Our sincere condolences go out to his wife Jo Ann and their family.
