PPCC List - Happy 90th B-day to Christy Barden

[Steve Goodman V]

Hello fellow club members:  Long time RMC and CORSA member Christy Barden
celebrates his 90th birthday tomorrow October 18.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Christy lived in Boulder for many years. He is well known for owning a
couple of Ultra Vans as well as Corvairs both early and late models. One of
his UVs graced the cover of the COMMUNIQUE a few years ago.

He also hosted what back then was called "picnic and swap meet" because he
had a very large back yard and members from both clubs could park there to
show off their Corvairs and some brought parts to sell and everyone brought
their appetites.  Awards were sometimes given to the best cars there.

Christy moved back to California after he retired but is still driving the
Corvairs. He drove the Ultra Van to the Ohio national convention a couple
of years ago.

I have known Christy since before he moved to Colorado and he is a good
friend of mine and probably everyone else in the Corvair world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND BEST WISHES FOR MANY MORE

Steve G
