Answer to 40th Anniversary
Hello
I had a response from Terry this morning on the OMVA FB page.
I did a little more digging as well and discovered I was wrong when Quad was published. It was first published in 1977 and looks like it was last published in 1979. According to the Library and Archives Canada files, having had only 5 issues. This was the magazine for The Military Vehicle Association, which is not considered the beginning of the OMVA.
It might be the first attempt to create a MV club in Ontario.
I do know there were some other MV get togethers and it seems that 1979 is when the first get together started under the OMVA banner. CMP Magazine was first published in 1988 while a year later the OMVA was incorporated.
There was a newsletter initially and i do not know when that was first published.
So 40th Anniversary it is.
Thank you to those of you who helped get the OMVA off of the ground and to keeping it moving ahead, which includes the current executive.
Eric
