Hi,
My name is Pat Johnson and I'm so glad to see there is a website for Tucker!

My Dad, Warren Hogendyk, worked for Preston in Ypsilanti on the combat car and gun turret in the early 1940's.

I treasure his many stories of those times.

Glad to see there is an event coming up in June! :D

Hi, Pat! Welcome to the TACA site.
It would be great if you could write down some of those reminiscences for posterity. Or tell them to somebody else who could write them down. We're trying to "Keep The Legend Alive", and saving these stories before they're gone is so important.
Are you a member of TACA yet? It's a wonderful club, full of interesting folks, many of whom have Tucker experiences to share. And a full-color Tucker newsletter every month in the mail!

Hi,
My Dad gave a talk at an American Legion Post in Comstock Park Michigan, back in the early '90's with Frank Tucker.
I had some paperwork from that talk.
As an artist, I did a memorial piece for my Dad, and in it I mention Preston and the Grand Rapids Michigan connection with Grand Rapids Textile and Maynard Tucker.
How do I become a TACA member? What are its dues?

Thanks,
Pat Johnson

One year of membership in TACA is $30 in the USA.
For complete details and an online application form, just go back to the TuckerClub.org home page, and click on the "Join TACA" button at the bottom of the page. You can apply online or print out the form and send it in. It's a great deal for Tucker enthusiasts.
The big annual convention will be here soon, and if you can make it to that, you'll be ready to interact personally with Tucker people from all over. We have a big time together at these wonderful events!
