“The Breakfast Club” gathers around the bench they had made in honor of a club member they lost last year, Ron Darlage. The bench was made at Crane Hill Machine and Fabrication Inc., founded by Ron and his wife, Brenda, in 1987. The bench was completed just days before Cars and Guitars was held in downtown Seymour, where the bench was on display at the car show.

Jon Stahl of the Seymour Area Cruisers speaks July 19 at the dedication of a park bench at Crossroads Community Park in honor of Ron Darlage, who died last year. Darlage enjoyed going to breakfast with his friends known as “The Breakfast Club.” They would all drive their old cars and swap stories about the good old days.
