Taps for a passing

Post by armydriver »

Claude Vaughn, a long time HMV collector in Austin, Texas lost his fight against cancer yesterday. He was a long time member of the MVPA and was one of the founders of the Lone Star Chapter of the MVPA in Austin, He owned a lot of WWII military vehicles including an un-restored CCKW 353 compressor truck, restored White Scout car and a lot of other vehicles, mostly unrestored due to health and time restraints. He and his expertise will be missed here locally. :cry:

May he rests in peace. When we have this sad news, I realize that I have more projects than a life time.
