A Tribute to Wally

Wally Kalchbrenner, who was president of our club for the last three years, passed away on November 21, 2009. Wally was a premier sheet metal man and was the owner of Merit Mechanical in Helena.  Wally truly enjoyed the car show but was always interested in making sure that ‘Wally’s World’ was set up for the kids with games and activities that would make the show a memorable event for them. Sack races, watermelon eating contest, inflatable jumping areas, and his favorite was hiding money in the sand box for the kids to find.  Wally’s wife, Ginny, will make sure that ‘Wally’s World’ will again be part of the Blast From The Past car show.
