Eastern Van Nationals to

Legendary Member – Jim McCleaf

May 27, 2001

It all started in 1966 when Jim bought his first van, at that time there were no organized van clubs. When he saw a fellow vanner he would pull into the nearest parking lot and shoo the breeze. In 1977, he joined the TIDEWATER VANS and became really involved in vanning. When the TIDEWATER broke up he started the only U.S.VANS.

In 1981, he was elected chairman of the MARYLAND VAN COUNCIL, INC., for the first time but had to resign because of health reasons. In 1983, he was again chosen to be chairman of the council and served as an office of one kind or another until his health started to decline. He was co-chairman of the TRUCK-IN in 1985 and served as chairman in 1986. He attended two NATIONALS and numerous others TRUCK-INS. He also served on the COUNCIL OF COUNCILS board, and served as co-chairman of the 21^ST NATIONALS committee.

Jim was active, dedicated, and supportive van member until his medical illness. Jim departed September 2000, as an honorary member of the MARYLAND VAN COUNCIL.

In honor of Jim McCleaf, the MARYLAND VAN COUNCIL has established the JIM McCLEAF MEMORIAL AWARD: ‘BEST OF SHOW’ OVERALL, which will be presented for the first time this year’s EASTERN VAN NATIONALS.
