Historic Gathering of VJC Presidents @ 2024 Concours
A wonderful happenstance at this year’s Concours occured at the social hour at The Crossings Pub & Lounge the day before the show where — a significant time in VJC history — where (almost!) all the previous club presidents were together. Missing unfortunately from this picture is Dr. Ron Gaertner who was in command during the zenith of VJC’s history during the national Jaguar show AGM in 2013, which was also held here at The Crossings. Seated in the center is Virginia Jaguar Club founder and first president Wayne Estrada. To his right and on the left of this photo is David Harrison, having served a decade for VJC and olding longest tenure in this office. Dr. Gaertner (not in this picture) served immediately after Mr. Harrison. On the far right is Bill Sihler, our last president and standing is VJC’s current president, Brian Trickett. Interestingly enough, in the spirit of true British/American cogenality, David and Brian are both Brits while Ron, Wayne and Bill are from 'this side of the pond.' This was an event to remember and a nice cap to the beginning of our 2024 Concours. Hope to see you all again next year! |
