Before I began laying out my first issue of
Slipstream, I thought it might be a good idea to
look back. Any club with cars and 55 years of
history must have some pretty good memories. I’ve
found that to be an understatement.
Looking through the back issues of Slipstream
I have come across some great articles, wonderful
photos and art, but most of all I have found stories
of lasting friendship and a passion for Porsche
throughout the years .
Slipstream through the years: 1977, 1978, 1984, 1987
Beautiful artwork
from 1975
Slipstream, April 1964
In the coming year, I will occasionally dip into
the Slipstream past and share some tidbits that
spark my interest. I hope they do they same for you.
“Expecting a room full of old fogey stuffed shirts that all paid for their little darlings
with cash, Pat stuffed all her courage in her pocket and went to the DFW Hilton for
the March ‘86 dinner meeting. The March program was the “Talent Show”. She saw
the club president plinking on a banjo; the treasurer, co-vice-president, and membership chairman dancing with “Mona”
to the BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE, and the best Joe Cocker in the metroplex. And throughout the entire evening was
warned repeatedly to “watch out for Carl”. She felt right at home!!! ‘It was a relief to see these are normal people.’”
