See you in Paris!

Don Stewart bought the first Cushman for his son, Mike, in approximately 1963. Mike, TCC # 312, was joined by Martin Stafford, TCC #269, and Raymond Love, TCC #839, to ride the pasture roads around the Midway Community in Dawson County, Tx.

By 1988 Mike had found the Texas Cushman Club and began to invite his dad, Don, and then Raymond to “come see what I’m doing”. The Cushman people became extended family for Don and his wife Martha. Their shop and home was open for many West Texas area meetings.

Don, Mike, Raymond and Chrysti attended many Cushman events where they rode and made lifelong friends.

Don and Martha remained members of the club even when their health restricted their activities.

They were both good friends and we will miss him.
