Jack Poehler bought the club from founder Harry Aunes in 1985. Poehler put a hell of a lot of work into propelling the Slant-6 Club of America for over a decade, putting together and distributing a very good quarterly paper magazine and managing the contributions of a long list of technical contributors and the comings and goings of numerous far-flung regional chapters of the club. He put together the magazine by hand; he refused to learn to use a computer. Gradually it got harder and harder to find a printer who would accept paste-ups rather than electronic files. Also, Poehler's health gradually worsened (poor diet, no exercise, heavy smoker), so the magazines grew later and later and eventually it was no longer possible for him to carry on. There was some friction and upset in the last five or six years as people carried on sending in subscription money but didn't get any magazines. He died in 2017.
