We get information from several sources, Chloris Noelke-Olson has been one of the more prolific. Chloris' latest missive said, "I've been contacted and wish to let the current ODHDC members - especially Rich Carroll, that Ken Recu (possibly an original member) has died at age 94. He took part in every HHHHH rally in the 60s and 70s, but moved to Vermont, from where he often turned up in Chicago for the HHHHh, which was the last place I saw him, though we kept in sporadic contact. John FLoyd Collins was a friend of both of us and a member, and he died in November of 2017. Other deceased members who may not have been noted are: Ray & Jill Boldt, Brian Kinkaid, Jim Torcaso, John Floyd Collins, Rudy McCabe, Dick McConnell, Jim Golden, Dave Metheny. I’m not sure about Mark Meek but Hans Oest has also died."

She continued, "I forgot a few more: Rudy McCabe (last seen at Brian Kinkaid's memorial), Duck McConnell, Jim & Debbie Golden, Ajay and Edna Budrys, Benny Harrison, Bob Nicholai, Geri Stark, Paul Emmerling, Larry Warshaw. As far as I know, Bo Clausson, Fred Egloff, Richard Stack, Frnk Opalka, Roy Payment (TOTOH), and Dick Simonsen are still around."

Add to this, two-fourths of the first, and infamous OOPS Rally Team, Gordon Steifel and Larry O'Connor have passed on. The OOPS Rallye Team lives on as Michelle and Christy O'Connor, Katy Prendergast, and Suzy Smith.

Rich Cwik was a driving force behind the scenes in the HHHHH rallye in the past few years. Early trophies were quite unique, and we ran out of them years ago. Rich saw this need, and had recast the metal 'monkey' that has adorned the trophy in past years. He did more than recast them, he took the castings, added a base, and finished the trophies and added lettering. Rich and his friend, Cherrie Pacque, were winners in 2006, along with Bob and Sue Herzog. Since 2006, when he recast the monkies, the trophies have again been an integral part of ODHDC and HHHHH.

Other frequent ODHDC stalwarts that are no longer with us include Mike Fernandez, and Bernie Rekus. Several older members have simply disappeared. One has become very reclusive, one is in a Federal Institution, and has several years yet to serve. Others were known to be in poor health, and simply stopped communicating. And while wishing they still could be around and with us, at least we can remember the myriad of wonderful times we had on HHHHH
