D.C Doc Daugherty Memorial Award recipient
-
This years D.C Doc Daugherty Memorial Award recipient has owned three Hudsons during his lifetime but currently does not own a Hudson built automobile. But his impact on our club has not come through his restoration activities. It has come through his service to the Club. For over 30 years, this year’s recipient has worked to document year by year records of serial numbers, body styles, standard equipment and production figures culminating in his HET General Information Handbook. In the past 7 years, he has scanned manuals, bulletins, reference materials and sales material and making those materials available to club members on line. It is estimated that he has scanned 800-900 documents. His efforts have supported not only the HET Club but also the Historical Society. This individual has also represented the Club online since the establishment of the Hudson chat site. His presences continues on the Hudson Forum and his online voice consistently points those with Hudsons and Hudson questions to join our great club. As one of the many who have found his online library to be of immeasurable help in restoring and maintaining my Hudsons, it is my pleasure to announce this year’s D.C. Doc Daugherty Memorial Award winner, Alex Burr (Hudsontech).Aaron Cooper

Good on ya, Alex!"The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,
And whether pigs have wings..." -
From what I have read over the years and heard, the resources Alex has accmulated are a gold mine for any HET member.
Well done Alex, the award could not have gone to a better recipient! -
I first got to know Alex shortly after I joined the H-E-T back in '71, and have enjoyed knowing him ever since. As long-time newsletter editor for the New England Chapter he performed a great service to local Hudsonites, and his occasional articles to the WTN were appreciated on a wider scale.
But in recent years he has really gone all-out to help Hudsonites the world over by obtaining and scanning all sorts of Hudson literature -- both sales and technical. The Club chose this year's "Doc award" recipient wisely, and Alex deserves our undying gratitude for making this invaluable information available to all Hudson enthusiasts everywhere, at the click of a mouse button! Congratulations, "Aunt Hester", be proud of your justly-deserved honors! -
Congrats Alex!!! And for a guy who doesn't have a Hudson to drive in you've done more for this club than some owners have!
-
Alex appreciates the Hudson family so much, and this is a great tangible way of showing him how much we appreciate him. Well deserved.

Congratulations Alex! As many have said in earlier posts, we HETers are very lucky to have someone as dedicated and persistent as you to do so much to support keeping our old Hudson products on the road.
We miss you up here in New England... it was great seeing you at the International! -
Wow, it couldn't have gone to a more deserving person! Thanks, Alex for all you have done for the preservation of Hudsons and the information to keep them running ! Bravo!
See You in Gettysburg next year!
Oh, and thank you Aunt Hester too!:woohoo:
