American Car Enthusiasts' Society (ACES) members tour USS Orleck, Stark House, Farmers' Mercantile and Stark Museum.

Ochiltree Inman Park and USS Orleck

The tour started at 10:00 am at Ochiltree Inman Park aboard the USS Orleck.  In the photos are Anne and David Short, Frank Roggenkamp, Lynn and Emma Slott, Al and Nancy Ducote, Carl and Nettie Guidry, Don Adams, Donnie and Beverly Goss, Bob and 
Belinda Baker, Ross Russell and Lillie Henderson, Gary and Sendy Vincent and granddaughter, Carah Davis.

After the Orleck tour we drove our classic autos to the Sonic for lunch and were joined by John and Clara Hubacek, Ken and Barbara Smith and Ed and Jody Holton.

Next on the tour was the Farmers' Mercantile where some members stopped to shop and others answered customers questions about our autos.  The classic autos seemed to draw a crowd.

The club then drove to the Stark house where we were treated to a most interesting history lesson of the Stark and Brown families.  Most members were especially interested in the Hupmobile on display there.

Joining the tour at the Stark House were Chuck and Maria Burns.

The tour was rounded off with a visit to the Stark Museum and the group went to a great 50's style ice cream parlor.

Thanks to ACES Activities Director, Anne Short, husband David helped, for a great tour and a wonderful time by all who attended.

Photos on the right were furnished by Bob and Belinda Baker.
