Thank You Carl Steig, Congratulations Bill Anderson: New Deputy Chief Judge

[Jason Edge]

A BIG THANK YOU to Carl Steig for serving as Deputy Chief Judge for many, many years.
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO Bill Anderson on his pending appointment as the new Deputy Chief Judge. 

Per Lars Kneller's Message in the May Self Starter which just arrived, Bill is replacing Carl Steig who served the CLC as Chief Judge for 25-plus years and is stepping down.  While I have only briefly met and talked with Carl at the Boston GN in 2013 while serving as a judge, anyone with any length of membership in our club would be hard pressed not to know of and appreciate his vast contribution to the club.  His enormous contribution to our judging system and manual, and making it "Logical, Methodical, and Fair", has greatly enhanced the club experience for everyone.   I have the utmost respect for anyone that has worked so hard for so long to help make the CLC "The Premier Car Club" and wish him the best of luck in the future and look forward to carrying on his legacy as a judge and participant at the CLC Grand National Car Shows.

According to Lars' article, Bill's appointment is pending board approval at the next board meeting, however, I am hopeful and confident it will be confirmed. I know Bill on several levels in my capacity as director of the 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter and Class 20 Authenticity Manual Lead, and sometimes supplier to his Restoration Business:

Bill is the CLC Director of Technical Services, CLC and CMCMRC Board Member and leads the Authenticity Manual Projects. He is also owner of, Anderson Automotive Enterprises, a professional restoration company, and is responsible for this past years Class 20 Primary Winner - Chapter Member Jim Verraster's 1963 Park Avenue.  He is also an honorary member of our 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter and consider him a mentor for all things involving restoration and authenticity.

Bill is also this past year's recipient of the  Distinguished Service Award which you can see him accepting from CLC president Lars Kneller below:
