This is Brent's family. Brent is married to
Pennie who until she met Brent probably didn't even know what a Model A
was ... much less care to ride in one. Through constant persistence
from Brent, many of the car tours or events that the Terry family participates
in finds Pennie
at the helm of a Model A.
Here she is racing Brent down the interstate.
Now speaking of racing, click
here to see her in her race car, and if you think she's
not serious about this stuff, click
here to see who's in the lead. Makes Blake so mad
when his Mom beats his Dad! In the picture if you look closely, that
is Brent is driving the #78 Track Roadster in the background.
Brent and Pennie's oldest daughter is BreAnna, and
quite honestly BreAnna is at the age where she could take or leave the
old car "thingie". She participates as a good sport however she never
lets an event get in the way of a "snooze"!! Books and Cheerleading
are her thing ... mechanical "stuff" just isn't her forte'.
Blake on the other hand is just the opposite!
Anywhere there is action in the hobby, he wants to be in the middle of
it. School really gets in the way of his "way of life". Car
Tours, Swap Meets, Kart
Racing, or any type of racing is his thing. Well on his way
to being a 3rd generation car restorer, he
is learning the art of welding, priming and bodyworking sheetmetal, and
even gets into the act of being a chief
mechanic on the race cars. When vehicles on the tours
break down, he is right there too. In this photo, can you count how
many grown men it takes to watch an 8 year old youngster change a tire
while we were all on the side of the road?
This
is Bob & Wreatha Terry. Bob is a retired Chemical Engineer and
Wreatha, although a retired Ph.D. teacher in Music, is still quite active
in her day to day musical activities. She is a volunteer Music Teacher
at the daycare in their church, teaches students piano and voice lessons,
sings with a Sweet Adeline chorus chapter on a weekly basis, and is the
church organist.
Bob & Wreatha have 4 children with Brent being
the oldest. Their oldest daughter is Jan who works as a 'Mom', and
is responsible for giving Bob & Wreatha three of their five grandchildren.
Paul is Bob & Wreatha's other son and he resides
in Texas. He is employed as a Customer Service Representative for
a major telecommunications firm in Houston. Although Paul has knowledge
of Model A's, currently his only collector car is a '64 Ford Falcon.
Paul spends much of his time working, working out, and working around at
his church.
Drue is Bob & Wreatha's youngest daughter and
is in real estate sales for a large real estate developer in Houston.
Well, that pretty much wraps up the Terry's family
history, and maybe you can put a face with a name, as this is our latest
family portrait:
