David J. Dorson shared this photo, writing, “I stopped by the Arizona Hotel on my way home from California after the TMC-09 convoy. The hotel has been closed for quite a few years. During WWII, the building was leased by the Navy to house pilots. They were practicing carrier landings, on some of the flat-topped mesa in the near by desert. The hotel, along with the rest of our country, had ‘gone to War.’”

Tim Kress’ 1953 M

Ronald L Boltz’s 1952 M37 with AN/GRC-46C.

Lawrence Thurber wrote, “I am sending in this picture of my son’s 1951 M37 with M101 trailer. Jake purchased the truck from GSA in December 2011. He started the restoration in the spring of 2012. He sourced parts from many suppliers but the majority of the NOS parts came from George Mainieri’s Vermont Commercial Salvage (see MVM no 59, Jan/Feb 1997). George was a great friend and mentor to Jake and his brother, Jon. George passed away in 2015. The brothers continue to work together restoring and maintaining their many military vehicles.”
