Plan your life for the 2000 Season

Included in this newsletter is a listing of the MTM events for this season. A great variety of venues are available to join with friends to enjoy motorsport and camaraderie while helping.

Heather Kathleen Johnson became a Big Sister today, Friday at 10:03 AM. Erin Elizabeth Johnson checked it at 6.9 lbs. and 20 in. long..  Somewhat on the small side but thats easy for me to say.  Maren would say that’s big enough.  Mother and new baby are doing fine and due to come home from the hospital on Sunday.  Myself, I'm justifiably proud and exhausted.

Insurance

 The question often arises what the new insurance limits, requirements and benefits are for marshals. You can check this out by going to the SCCA internet site. In the section that holds the Newsletters to Regional Executives is a non-proprietary article on the changes and continuing insurance by SCCA of their members.

Our MTM President pro-tem, Gordon Ensing has changed jobs since the passing of the West Michigan Grand Prix. He is in charge of the Grand Rapids Division of Forberg Scientific Corporation. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a wealth of holidays. This will hamper his involvement but not his interest in some racing events.

Bill & Mara Gamalski were recently married. Bill is the “flagger” that went through Driver’s School last year in his ITA GLH (#48 Black) Omni, and of course Mara is our lovely and enthusiastic “ambulance gal” who has been with us for several years. The best part…...they met at the track!  As their extended Waterford family, let’s all wish them the very best of luck.
