Congratulations! Born to Mark and Lynn Voaiorski on June 21, o boby girl, Katrino Ann (71b 14oz). Mother and daughter are doing fine. Nicholas thinks that it is really neat to have a baby sister. Mark is stunner that a 535i is not big enough for a family of four and its equipment, and thinks it is time to buy a Ford Country Squire...! Editor's Correction In the last issue of der Bayerische the author's credit was left off the concours article. Paul Vessels did a great job on the Concours (more BMWs than have appeared in a long time) and on the article too.

Derr's NO SNOW Route to Stout's Block Angus 17 July 1993 by Sob Payne En route to Stout's. Photo by Chris Leeper der boyerischc "It was a dark and stormy night..." no wait — scratch that — I think it's been used already... It was actually an absolutely incredible day! Remember the perfectly sterling week-end after the two-week hot spell? Well, that was the Saturday our club (all two thousand members) were invited to go on one of the most fun drives I can remember—once we were clear of the DC traffic, that is. Unfortunately, the traffic must have slowed the rest of you down, since there were only 16 of us by the time we reached our starting point in Baltimore. Dwight Derr had originally scheduled this trip back last winter, but you may also recall a certain snow storm that stopped even the brave from getting the trusty Bimmer out for some spirited driving. No matter, the Sun God obviously realized he owed Dwight one, and boy did he payoff!! Our route was over beautiful back roads through farm land and rolling hills. It was spectacular, and those of you who wondered who was going to eat the dozen ears of fresh corn that Candy (my bride and navigator, and when it comes to BMWs, my conscience as well) bought at the Amish vegetable stand may like know . .'it is I'. She opted for the "Silver Queen", and I don't know about yours, but ours is the best we've had in years. Jennifer Nazarko (M535) had us all looking for pickle jars along the way at quaint antique stores that kept luring us in. Actually, antique shopping was a good opportunity for Candy to rest her hands some, and let the dash return to its original shape...I never did see the pickle jar of choice?? Jack Kenworthy (528i . don't forget the i) made me promise I would mention our trip only up to 55 MPH. It was a great trip to check the new air-flow meter the Sixer just got, and I report it works great—up to 55, anyway. By the way Sarah, I still have one of those white, funny pencil-looking things you gave all of us for the great Kodak moment. .what now? You may be interested to know it doesn't write worth a hoot. Dwight's routing took us finally into Pennsylvania, through the Amish country, and then our destination, Stout's Black Angus Restaurant, brewery and dance hall. Many of the women who had been passengers up to this point quickly retrieved the keys of cherished Bimmers for the sober ride home ... as you can imagine, oompa band. Dewayne Blacketer (classy black 525, smart gold wheels which aren't going with him to Korea, right Dwight?) was seen humming along with the band, and I thought he was heading up to the stage to join them at one time. Dick and Joanne Bergen brought their beautiful 325iS. I think I liked it better than the band, but then Candy has always said I have problems with priorities where BMWs are concerned. I only saw Art Miller's stunning red M-3 twice— once at the beginning, and then at the end. I know she only did 55, so he must have taken a shortcut. Bonnie Butler rode with Chris Leeper in his sharp M-5, at least that's the way I remember it. Chris was able to get some fantastic photographs I'm told. We went through at least three covered bridges, so the route helped the setting a lot, though the lens he had on his camera was awesome—he may have only gotten pictures of big, toothy grins—up to 55. Mike, Nina and Max Early met us at Stout's, and had us a table reserved. Thanks guys! Gary and Ruth Green (new members, 528E) strolled up shortly after we arrived at Stout's, reporting they had left an hour after we had. Go figure. Gary was grinning a lot, and was looking forward to the trip back, declaring he was using the same route home (only reversed, of course). Ruth kept talking about the "pedal to the metal" whatever that means. Good to meet you guys, and we hope to see you on the next tour. Which reminds me, check this issue for the next tour deBimmer. . Jack says its another great chance to get the cars out and enjoy the scenery. So many roads, so little time! Thanks again Dwight for such a great tour. It was worth waiting for! Here's hoping we can meet more members on the next tour. It seems like the nicest people hang around BMWs! ©
