THE LE MAY CAR MUSEUM - THANKS TO BILL ROGERS OUR SPEAKER

Our program at the Dec. 6, 2008 club meeting was about the Le May car collection and museum. The photo is of Harold Le May and his wife. Bill talked to us about the cars in the collection. He also discussed activities in progress as well as future plans.

Particularly he showed us the plans for the new museum at the Tacoma Dome. So far they have raised 49.5 million dollars in cash and in kind donations, but they still need another 10 million dollars before they can break ground. Given the present ecomomic (lending) issues they are having difficulty in obtaining a loan.

Thank you so much for sharing with us Bill.
