1952 M38A1 Army Jeep

Subject: 1952 M38A1 Army Jeep

Brian and Ching,

I have decided to sell my 1952 M38A1 Army Jeep. Could you please see that the attached pictures are put on the web site? This Jeep is all original except for recent paint and new seats. Also, the tires and batteries are almost new. It runs and drives great. It comes with new seat cushions for the rear, but I don’t have the rear seat frame. The selling price is $5,000.00.

Thank You, Don Weston

Message from Diane Warren

I want to thank everyone who came out in celebration of Bob’s installment on the McConnell Memorial Walkway. That day was also Bob’s birthday, so what better day to have a celebration!!
I know many of you couldn’t be there in person but were there in thought and prayer, and that means more than you’ll ever know!! I’m sure that had something to do with the beautiful weather we had for the event.

If you have a chance to go on base and visit the stone, it lies beneath one of the biggest trees on the walkway!! You all know Bob. His will be the one that stands the straightest and tallest!!

Thanks to you all!!

The Diner [Places to Eat]

There is a new restaurant in town on the East side called The Diner. It is in the old location that used to be The Wildfire Diner from a couple of years ago. It is just off the Northeast corner of Webb and Harry, behind the Port of Wichita.

The decor is 1950’s diner style in nature. The menu consists of comfort food and standard diner fare, good prices, and excellent quality. Breakfast is served 24 hours a day. They are planning to organize some events on Friday nights for various vehicle related clubs and the MKMVPA has a standing invitation to attend.

One thing they do is “unlimited fries.” With a meal you get all the fries you want, and they are the big steak fries.

The official address is 1530 S. Webb Road. Their hours are Tuesday through Thursday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sunday 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Closed on Mondays.

Member Needs Help

I am looking for a WWII rifle grenade box. Don’t know exactly what that is. Is it a metal or a wooden box? Are there different sizes? From the picture it appears to be about 18″ long x 7″ wide x 12″ tall. One is supposed to sit on the running board of my weapons carrier. Could you help me out?

Thanks,
Kendall Lundy
