November 19, 1994

The NBEAA chapter gathers outside after the meeting in the bank parking lot for a group photo. Notables (from left to right) include Charles Moore (second from left), Arnold Kirkland (at the door of his CommutaCar with sunglasses), Bob Wing (holding picture), Russ Kaufmann (holding right side of banner), Preston McCoy (chapter president, leaning on car), Joe Stevenson (kneeling, holding paper), Chuck Hursch (in newly-minted Rabbit conversion).

NOTE (Sept. 2004): This print recently came out of the woodwork, was dusted off and scanned. If you have answers to any of the following, we'd appreciate hearing of them (please email the NBEAA webmaster):

  • This picture was taken by a Petaluma-area newspaper. There is no identifying stamp on the print.
  • Other people in the pic?
  • The name of the bank at the time. It is currently Bank of the West, and the location is S. Petaluma Blvd. and C St.

 The NBEAA banner is still alive and well in the custody of current chapter president Nick Carter. For a recent appearance...

Passing of a Pioneer by Don McGrath

Bob Wing, a true EV pioneer, passed away Sunday morning, March 17, at his home in Inverness, California. Bob has served the EV cause and the EV community for many years, dating back to the early 1970s. He was a hobbyist, a media correspondent, and an EV consultant, and after his retirement from his job as an executive at Stanford Research Institute, devoted much of his time to his consuming passion, electric vehicles and the environment.
