In 1952 the Franklin Club had one of it's first meetings. Can you name the club members?
Left to right: Tom Hubbard, who else do you see? E-mail the WebMaster
Take in 1952 see below for some answers
Who are they - Jack Ortman, a good friend of Joe Hafner's is the pop up head in the back ground, Jack had a 25 Boatail in High School and in the 60's he restored it and drove it on several Westreks. It looks like Tony Giamino, is the short bold man next to Tom, under Jacks head, and the man in the lower right in the print shirt is Bob Berry. Bob's 1925 Sedan is in the background. Bob lived in Van Nuys, CA and loved T's and was in the MTFCA with me. One of the other men has to be Pat Fogel, next to Tony?and this picture was taken at his ranch in Fontana, CA in 1952, also Looks like Tony Giamo next to Tom, perhaps his son behind him. Second from left is Bill Hamlin, probably his wife kneeling in front of him
More information March 23, 2004 - I'm responding to the picture of one of the first meeting of the Franklin club in 1952. That is defiantly Jack Ortman in the back. The third man in the back row is Jack's father Curtis Ortman and maybe his wife Iva sitting in the white shirt. It looks like to many trees to be a pats house and there is a house in the back ground, there was nothing for miles from Pats home in 52.
Kathy Ortman daughter of Jack Ortman
Still more information from Ron Hurt, top row left Ed Paris and below him is his wife. Top row 2nd man is Bill Hamlin and below him is his wife Doris. Top row 3rd man is Curtis Ortman.
