The D. C. “Doc” Daugherty Memorial Award for outstanding service and promotion of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club was adopted by the Club’s Board of Directors as a National Award in 1980.
The award is given annually to one or more members of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, or their spouses, who have performed outstanding service for the Club.
The Board of Directors in 1980 established the D. C. “Doc” Daugherty Memorial Award by stating: “One or more awards shall be, each year, given to a member of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, Inc. who has given meritorious service.”
Doc Daugherty gave countless years of service to the Hudson Club and he promoted Hudson’s tirelessly and enthusiastically. After his death in 1980, the Memorial Award was established.
Doc’s wife, Thelma Daugherty, died in 1999, and in July 2000 the Club’s Board of Directors re-named the award the D. C. “Doc” and Thelma Daugherty Memorial Award.
