Dear mid-60s Buick lovers,  :love4:

I finally got around to going through the November 2017 issue of the Buick Bugle.  On page 10 is a oddly named article that is described as a guess editorial. While it is titled "BCA Membership Explained," it is instead a laundry list of issues that the author believes is causing membership in the Buick Club of America to decline and some suggestions on how to reverse the decline.

Unfortunately, I don't think the author has thought out the matter as carefully as is needed, but there is definitely some food for thought in the piece.  So if you haven't already read it, definitely take the few minutes to ponder the 2 pages worth of issues.

Cheers, Edouard

Dear Tom, Loren, and mid-60s Buick fans with a reading list, . . . .

Ditto for me. For some reason or other, I never read any of the issues sent to me.  :dontknow: Still have them all and will get to them one of these days........

Perhaps not a solution for you, but one day I realized that I could easily get through most magazines while drinking my morning cup of coffee.  It doesn't work everyday, but most magazines are monthly.  So you only need a few days a month to plow through these magazines.  Of course you need to have the mentality that you need to get through these things quickly, but most magazines these days have an intellectual content such that, if you needed it for sustenance - you'd starve to death!!  :angryfire:
