Slipstream - April 2018

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
Hello, my name is Kurt Scaggs. I am your newest
editor of Slipstream. You might have noticed some
changes in the newsletter this month. I can assure
you, it’s a new look, but the same great taste.
Jim has told me who the trouble makers are, so you can
put your pens down. Actually that’s not the case at all.
Jim has had nothing but great things to say about being
editor and has been amazing getting me up to speed.
I hope you like the changes, but if you see something
that can be improved upon I am only a click or two away.
Outside of Slipstream I am a creative director in the
retail packaging business. That’s a fancy way of saying
that I’m a designer. That might go a long way towards
explaining my inability to leave well enough alone.
I would like to join the many, many members who
have thanked Jim for his tireless efforts to create this
publication every month. The countless contributions
he’s made to the club have made a lasting impact. His
passion has made Slipstream what it is today and with
his help, we will continue on that path.

On the subject of past editors, and I’d like to recognize
that past editors like Fran Ussery, Julia Underwood,
Carey Spreen and Wendy Shoffit (I’m missing many, so
please pardon my brevity) are pretty big acts to follow.
These names should be familiar to everyone that enjoys
Slipstream as they are regular contributors to the club.
I could go on about the efforts and contributions of
so many that you see on these pages and many more
that you don’t. They make this club run, well, like a
Porsche. If you would like to be a part of the great team
that makes the club run, join us at the next board
meeting at Hackberry Country Club. Enjoy the Drive!
Congratulations to
the Maverick Region’s
newest power couple,
Bill and Debi Kruder.
