Roger Erickson was elected M.O.T.A. Chairman. M.O.T.A. took a well-earned rest year, and rather than promote a National, Roger directed a major push to organize new clubs and rejuvenate the existing ones in order to further strengthen the M.O.T.A. Roger obviously succeeded in the venture as new clubs began to spring up all over the State of Michigan, raising the total clubs from nine (9) to twelve (12) and adding even more members to existing clubs.
About mid-year, Roger and his lovely wife Connie moved to West Virginia. It is a gross understatement to say “they will be missed by M.O.T.A.”. Don Wilcox, being the responsible gentleman that he is, unselfishly agreed to again devote his spare moments to M.O.T.A. by chairing it for the remainder of the year.
