Clyde Young Memorial Award 

   At our regular club meeting on August 8, 2007, the Slammers honored one of our founding members, Clyde Young, by refurbishing a sign Clyde created many years ago for the club.  It will be proudly displayed at our Heartland Model Car Nationals Contest and Show held annually.

   Clyde was the club’s first President which makes him kind of our George Washington!   Regrettably, Clyde passed away on Nov. 16, 2007.  We lost a good friend and modelin’ buddy and although he is now gone in body, his spirit and all the work he did during the years to make this club the success it is will live on.

   In his honor, the Heartland Nationals Champion Award will be henceforth co-named as the Clyde Young Memorial Award.

KC Slammer, Elden Titus.  Born 2/18/48 - 10/8/08

   His kindness, support, and friendship toward our modeling club will never be forgotten.  Elden was a top name in “Kustom Car” design but always held onto his roots as a model-building kid growing up in Wichita, Kansas.  He started the Model Kemp Spectacular as an integral part of the Kustom Kemps of America’s Leadsled Spectacular held annually in Salina, Kansas.  That contest will continue in 2009 and beyond in his name and in the spirit by which he founded it.

   Elden… we will miss you here on Earth but we will always remember that “Kustoms are Forever!”

Bob Paeth.   Born 2/22/35 - 10/16/08

   Bob was a veteran in the world of model car building, worked for Revell and was instrumental in bringing many of the classic kits of the 60’s and 70’s to life for us all to enjoy.  But it was his association with the KC Slammers that endeared him to us (he was our special guest at the 2008 Heartland).  Bob was a teller of great stories about cars, people, and models and had a special hot-knife modeling technique we all envied!

   Our time together was all too brief, Bob, but you will always be an honored member and friend of the KC Slammers!

Monica Jean Cozine   9/9/50 - 11/13/08

   Monica was a great Slammer wife who supported her husband, Dan, in his love for cars, scale-modeling, and the KC Slammers.  She was a gifted artist as well.  She did fantastic scale dioramas and was an excellent modeler in her own right..  Her presence at club activities will be missed by us all.

Arlene Slaughter   October 8, 2009

Arlene is the wife of KC Slammer Eric Slaughter.  We Slammers will always remember Arlene as the creator of that terrific quilt she made using actual Heartland Model Car Contest T-Shirts.  She attended some of our meetings occasionally and although we always razzed her mercilessly, she took it like a true sport.
