President’s Message May 2026

Dear Sooner Model A Club members,

The Spring Tour was real exciting, especially when the tornado showed up on Thursday night. Some of us were outside, under the portico of the hotel, watching it coming our way and taking pictures. It turned, however, and continued on down the street to Vance Air Force Base and did some damage to Vance and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our tour of Vance AFB was cancelled, of course, due to all the damage. Luckily, the Model A’s had no damage from the tornado.

The weather forecast reported that more severe weather was coming and some of the tour attendees became concerned about additional tornados that might show up, and they went home the next day. The weather was very nice and tornado-free for the rest of the tour, for which we were very thankful. All the remaining scheduled activities had no issues, and there was some discussion about putting together a day trip to go visit Vance Air Force Base. Vance AFB will probably be closed for a while, for the cleanup and repairs, but we will let you know if and when a plan for a tour becomes available.

The Club Meeting will be at the Will Rogers Garden Center on May 24th in Room 1, at 2:00pm. There will be reminder messages going out on email about our other upcoming activities. If you are not receiving the email messages, please let us know.

We hope to see you soon, somewhere along the Model A road. Visitors are always welcome to join us.

Phil Wolfenbarger, President
