Saturday, August 8, 2009 was set as the day to celebrate       the birthday of one of the founding fathers of the Austin    Healey Club of Oregon.  Bill Bolton celebrated his 80th  birthday with the help of a large number of friends  from the Healey Club as well as family, friends and    neighbors from the Eugene/Springfield and Creswell area.   Those of us who are members of the AHCO can thank Bill for his participation and leadership in the formation of ther Club in 1975, 34 years ago.

On Saturday several Club members spent the morning touring down the Willamette Valley before arriving at the Creswell Community Center to participate in the birthday pot luck lunch and party.  Thanks again, Bill, for all that you have done for the Austin Healey owners in the Northwest and beyond.
