On a warm August day, 138 OCR members in 76 cars gathered at Jack and Margaret Brown’s hangar at Fullerton Airport to begin the 9th Annual Hearts and Garages Tour. This tour is an annual progressive dinner that is a fund-raiser for our Region’s designated charity. Check-in went very smoothly for a large group despite the warm day, thanks to the efforts of Judy Lech and Gloria Moore at registration, and Larry Moore and Ken Fredrickson manning the gate. After parking, the members got a chance to view Jack’s cars in the hangar, which was amply decorated with Porsche pictures and memorabilia. Jack’s friend and noted Porsche artist Steve Anderson had done many of the pictures on the hangar walls, and he also came out to join in the festivities. Steve gave each participant a poster. The Porsches of the participants were lined up in front of multiple hangars, which created an impromptu car show for everyone to enjoy. Besides the Porsches in the hangar, there was a vintage Corvette, a ‘57 Chevy and a unique Alfa Romeo coupe that had been featured in Road and Track magazine. After devouring the antipasto, salad and bruchetta (supplied by Mulberry Street restaurant), visiting with friends and checking out the cars, we all departed, in true Porsche fashion, for the next stop. The second destination was in Irvine, where the main course of Hawaiian BBQ was eaten al fresco outside Bryan Pepper and Heather Fera’s garage. Umbrellas and canopies had been erected to shield folks from the afternoon sun, and we were all grateful the previous week’s heat wave had ended. It was a sumptuous repast, and everyone enjoyed the distinctive Hawaiian flavors. There were three different model Boxsters in the garage, including a RS60 Spyder Anniversary Edition, and each had an informational sheet explaining its distinctive features. Then it was a dash off to San Clemente (there was that onramp grand prix again) for dessert, coffee, German chocolate cake and apple at the home of Michael and Shelley Reissmueller. The morning’s wind and rain in South County had cleared and everyone enjoyed a beautiful evening in the back yard facing towards the Pacific Ocean. A special thank you to our hosts, who graciously made our event extremely enjoyable. OCTOBER 2009 21
