[1969] '69 e-Group Revival Recap

[Bob Dunahugh]

This info should never be in just one persons hands. No offence  to  Charlie Doerge, ( he's doing fine )  but the official Corsa Yenko list is also controlled by one person.   I believe in committees  for taking care of list.  This way no one person is in total control.       Bob Dunahugh
