: Congratulations to ACES1
Daytona Jeff Oct 5th, 09, 10:04 AM I know Chuck likes to fly under the radar but I would like ACES members to know that Chuck Hanson was awarded the Iaccoca award at NPD's GM show at Silver Springs on Saturday. NDP is a sponsor of the Iaccoca foundation (cure for diabetes) and Chuck was selected not only for his many years of support of our hobby but also for his charity work in his community. It was nice to see him recognized :thumbsup:
Congratulations Chuck on a well deserved honor!!

ACES1 Oct 5th, 09, 11:04 AM Thanks for posting up on this, Jeff. I'm honored and humbled by this award, and was truly sorry I couldn't stick around to receive it in person. I was told of the award, however, just as I was ready to leave Saturday afternoon, while I was telling the folks from NPD thanks for the hospitality and a great event. Unfortunately, I couldn't stick around because of a dedication at our church on Sunday. We've recently completed some major renovations to our 125 year-old church building, and as the Chair for the Building and Grounds Committee, I'd promised I'd be there for the ceremony.
The award is especially gratifying because I am also diabetic, and all the work of the Iaccoca Foundation is directed towards finding a cure for and alleviating the symptoms of this disease. http://www.iacoccafoundation.org/index.html
The folks at NPD are to be commended for their support of the Foundation's work. My diabetes is a little different than some in that mine was caused by exposure to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. This has been a fairly recent revelation to me, and I encourage any Vietnam vets that are suffering from diabetes or have the symptoms, to get checked out ASAP at their local VA.
It was great to see so many ACES Members and their Chevelles while I was there, and really enjoyed the visits. With over 900 GM vehicles in attendance, there sure was a lot to see, and I encourage anybody who can attend a future NPD GM OctoberFest to do so. Information can be found on their site:

Hope to see y'all at an event sometime soon. The next one for me is the Carolina Chevelle Assn's event in Burlington, NC, the weekend of October 17th. Info can be found here: http://www.carolinachevelle.com/content.aspx?page_id=87&club_id=538537&item_id=92931
In the meantime, keep on cruisin'!!!

Maybe we should adopt the cause as a site-wide member driven effort?
