Re: Summer 2020 Durant Partner, Have you got yours yet.
Hey- Good news. We received our Partner today Wednesday Sept 9. Sure like the style and the articles. Glad to see that Mike sent a letter and Certificate of Apreciation to Carol. She deserved it after putting so many years and producing award winning magazines.
Sure be glad when all this COVID stuff is over. My wife and I went and had our COVID tests done yesterday. Hope all turns out well.

Re: Summer 2020 Durant Partner, Have you got yours yet.
I received mine about a week or 10 days ago. The article font size and line spacing has changed on some of the pages, so not as much material will fit into the partner. The partner has a new look to it and I have really enjoyed them. Steve
Re: Summer 2020 Durant Partner, Have you got yours yet.
Hey Steve, glad you and Norm got theirs. Yes we've changed the front to a art deco version to go with the era of the cars and to freshen things up a bit. I had some members suggest the changes so we thought this would be a good time to do this with a new Editor and Printer. The font size also increased a bit (for our older members eyes). The content really isn't due to the change of style or font, it's the lack or material we have. With the Covid 19 cancelling all our chapter meets as well as the national meets there isn't much material to fill. This upcoming fall and winter issue will probably be thin also, (Unless people send in articles to our Editor) but next year with this Covid 19 gone (I hope) we should be able to get back together and go to our meets and tours as usual and the content of the Partner will grow. Shaw did a great job for us for his first issue and we look forward to him putting out many more for us.

Re: Summer 2020 Durant Partner, Have you got yours yet.
Hey, guess what, my partner showed up today.
I have mentioned this before but is their any reason that when material is scarce and filler pages are needed why can't we use a tecnical page here and there or an article from some of the old Durant Standard's, or occasionaly include pages from the interchange catalogue like lights and lenses...A lot of good information out there it seams a shame we are not using it.
