Ron Warcup’s Model “A”
Pictures/message from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends, I just ran across a couple pictures that might be interesting to
the readers. A few years ago my uncle Ron Warcup, married to Mom’s
sister Shirley Olson (49), bought an old 1929 Model A two door sedan
from me and started restoring it out in CA. He got the chassis done and
then decided a two door really wasn’t what he wanted so he called and
asked if I could find him a phaeton, which is a four door convertible.
It’s the most rare of all Model A cars and was quite impractical in
the cold north country. I had never seen one around here but said I
would look around. I found one by accident while visiting a friend up
by Boissevain, Manitoba. It was actually just the body and had been cut
in two to make a pickup many years ago. I asked if the body front part
was from a roadster and he said it was from a phaeton. I asked what
happened to the back part of the body and he said it was out in his
pasture. I bought the whole pile of parts from him and hauled it home
and set it back together to see if it would be possible to rebuild. It
all was there but had been upside down so long that rust had eaten away
the top edge of the body where it had been against the ground. I sent
pictures to Ron and he said he could sure fix what was needed so he and
Shirley drove back and hauled the body back to CA. He worked on it for
a couple more years and made a very nice car out of it. He is a master
at restoration and the pictures show it. The date of build of the body
just happened to be the same month as the frame and engine of the two
door so his numbers even match and make the car even more correct.�
Somewhere I have a better picture of the car but will post it later when
I run across it. Yes, these two pictures are of the same car. Thanks
Gary!

Awalt Rummage Sale – Friday & Saturday in Bottineau
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND
Hi Gary,
I don’t know if this is something you want to post, but here it is. 
I went for a walk a little earlier tonight. I wasn’t sure (because I haven’t been out walking for awhile) if I could walk around the entire block, so I decided to walk through the alley. As I was walking north, I saw there was a rummage sale in a garage. I thought it had been “on” all day, so I started walking around/looking at everything/etc. I learned they were just setting the sale up for tomorrow and Saturday. I recognized Lloyd and Theresa Awalt, and thought they were there “shopping”. It seems the “rummage garage is Lloyd/Theresa Awalt’s granddaughter’s (Cody)home. Cody’s house is the house (north) of my apartment (At one time, it was O. A. Parks’ home/also Virgil and Mary Marquardt Lenz’ home.). Apparently several ladies are participating in this sale. Their items are very clean and in good condition/priced very reasonably. SO, if anyone is interested in this sale, the address is 700 something, East St. in Bottineau. My apartment is 717 East St. (south end of the street), so the sale is easy to locate. I’m assuming Theresa and maybe Lloyd will be there. I think they said the sale starts at 9:00 a.m.

Neola, I am posting this if for nothing else giving folks an opportunity to stop by and shoot the breeze with Lloyd and Theresa if they are there and to also take a look at what they have for sale. Gary
