[PPCC] Herb Berkman and Ed Corson

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

Yesterday was a really bad day for the Corvair community.

Closer to home Herb died.  I've known Herb for years.  I met him for the 
first time at either a Great Western Fanbelt Toss in Palm Springs or a 
national convention.  Herb was a 2 times winner of the Cole award at the 
national convention.  Herb was also a past president of CORSA.  He also 
holds the distention of being the only person  to be featured on the cover 
of a Communique with out a car anywhere in the picture.

Ed Corson also died last evening.  I've known Ed as long as I've known Herb 
and met him at one the same venues.  Ed was a retired Lt Col and fighter 
pilot.  He ran a small hobby Corvair business in Sothern California.  If you 
have a spin on oil filter adapter, he probably made it.  He made them for 
both the Underground and Clark's.  Ed was about to complete his first year 
as a director of CORSA.  Ed has been very involved with putting on fanbelt 
tosses and conventions.

Both of the gentleman will be sorely missed by the Corvair community and 
CORSA.
