Hello All,

The ECH 2012 event committee would like to announce the three winners of the new book written by Karl Ludvigsen, "Porsche - Origin of the Species". These winners are:

Sandy Milstead
Alvin Tuck
Hank Kramer

The books were donated by the New England Porsche 356 Registry club, TYP356ne. Their names were drawn randomly from the attendee list of the ECH 2012. The book’s price is $119.95, and it is being provided to them for free as a way of TYP356ne thanking them for attending the ECH 2012 and coming to Boston. The organizers hope winning the "Origin" book purchased by TYP356ne from Bentley Publishers will increase their enjoyment of the ECH 2012.

The book will be premiered at the ECH 2012 and Karl will be the guest speaker at the Saturday night banquet. Bentley Publishers will have the books available for any attendee to purchase at the ECH 2012, just stop by the Bentley Publishers booth and pick your copy up, or you can preorder the book directly from Bentley Publishers. Then, ECH 2012 attendees can have Karl sign your book from 3 pm to 5 pm Saturday, after the People’s Choice Concours at the Headquarters Hotel.

Again, congratulations to Sandy, Alvin, and Hank on winning “Porsche – Origin of the Species"! And enjoy the ECH 2012.

If you have not made plans to attend the ECH 2012 already, now is the time to send in your registration. We look forward to seeing you at the ECH 2012.

Sincerely,

Tom Gentz
Co-Chair
ECH 2012

Hello all,

The co-chairs of the ECH 2012 have recovered enough to comment on the ECH 2012.

1. It was well received by all that attended.
2. There was more to do then time allotted.
3. Karl Ludvigsen,author of "Porsche - Origin of the Species" and "Porsche - Excellence was expected" was beyond all expectations and delivered over two hours of Gmund details. You could hear a pin drop in the room.
4. Three Gmund coupes in the Grand Ballroom for the Saturday Night Banquet were spectular.
5. The People's Choice Concours was changed from outdoors to in doors due to rain, but everything was wonderful about the change, and it did not dampen spirits.
6. The President of Porsche North America was present and did a great job to make all comfortable.
7. The Swap Meet was a huge success, but over by 10 am like in the past.
8. The "CREW" white lab coats helped ECH 2012 attendees find the right place to be at the right time. The ECH 2012 had over 50 volunteers to help make the ECH 2012 a success. Thanks to the volunteers. A lot of volunteers were from TYP356ne, the New England Porsche 356 Club.
9. The ECH 2012 had attendees from Australia, South Africa, Canada, and all over the United States. Thanks for attending!
10. The ECH 2012 Sponsors were unselfish and include some of our most popular businesses:

Stoddard/NLA; Zim's; 356 Enterprises; Restoration Designs; Hagerty Collector Car Insurance; Bentley Publishers; Vintage Auto Collectibles; European Collectibles; Porsche Design; Unobtainium; George Nelson; and PCNA.

The co-chairs will be producing a CD for distribution to the ECH 2012 attendees so they will a memory of all the good times they had at the ECH 2012.
