2024 HARRY BARNES AWARD PRESENTATION

Pacific Can-Am Zone National Board Member Mark Carson presented Pete Yuen with the Studebaker Drivers Club Harry Barnes Award for 2024

Pete Yuen was presented with the Harry Barnes Award for his many dedicated years of service to the Studebaker Drivers Club and the Avanti Owners Association International such as articles submitted and assistance to all things SDC and AOAI. There are so many SDC members who stand out in their willingness to help others and to promote our cars and the Studebaker Drivers Club. There are also many chapters involved in community service projects. SDC Service Awards and the prestigious Harry Barnes Award are given each year to those who give so much of themselves to our organization.

Pete’s grandson Jonathon started the process to nominate his grandfather for the SDC Award. The following is an email that was set to SDC President Denny Foust for consideration of this prestigious award. Click here to read Jonathon’s letter, which outlines Pete’s many contributions and accomplishments in his years passionately celebrating all things Studebaker.
