Well, California Healey Week 2024 and Rendezvous 2024 and Steve Kirby’s tour of British Columbia are behind us, and everyone is home safe and sound.
It was another great Healey gathering with great folks, fun drives, new friendships and lots more stories.
On a very sad note- As most of you may have heard, Dex Kaytis passed away. Dex fought hard against his cancer, but we lost him on the afternoon of June 19th.
He was surrounded by his family as he passed peacefully. Dex was a great friend and long-time club member. He was also a decorated vet who earned a Purple Heart in Vietnam. Dex will be missed. We will keep you posted as we learn more about his celebration of life. We will be having a Memorial drive to celebrate him along some of his favorite routes, with stops at his favorite haunts.
