RMC List - Erica Propst

[Eric Schakel]

I am sorry that Erica's life has passed without affording an opportunity to
meet her in person. During my short (two decades) of involvement with Rocky
Mountain Corsa, I spoke with her several times by phone. The first was after
her husband's death, when I asked if she wished to continue to receive The
Denvair News - her response was strong and friendly, still tinted with a
slight Austrian accent: Certainly she wished to continue! The Corvair and
RMC were part of her life, and life goes on.

 

The second call was several years later, during the process of updating RMC
name badges. I reminded her that we had spoken before, and she laughed and
said she recalled that conversation, too. I tried to convince her to come to
a meeting or event to pick up her new badge, but she would not commit and
asked that it be mailed to her. She assured me that she was still a Corvair
person, and thanked me warmly for thinking of her.

 

I will never be able to place a smiling face with the smiling voice, but the
memory of the person who never gave up her linkage to the Corvair continues
to make me smile.
