<B>Subject: </B>Jonni Berkman<BR>

</SPAN><FONT SIZE="5"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:18pt'>Good afternoon, Rocky Mountain Corsa,<BR>
<BR>
My name is Bill Winkelmann and I am the membership chair for Corsa West, Corsa's San Fernando Valley/Los Angeles, CORSA Chapter 914. We here in Southern California were quite saddened to hear of the passing of our dear Jonni. She was one of four life members, having been coupled with the great Herb Berkman, whom we lost in 2007. I very much liked the article that just appeared in the RMC Club newsletter which put Jonni in a very positive light. The picture of her at the table was just great and a wonderful way to remember her.<BR>
<BR>
When Corsa West hosted the 2008 CORSA Convention in Ventura CA in 2008, Jonni was there every day doing something for whatever was on the calendar that day. She was a key participant in the Concours, the Econo Run and worked all day Friday at the Autocross. When we hosted the Fan Belt Toss in 2015, Jonni had contacted me in advance requesting that she would like to help. I believe she worked at the raffle table all weekend long. I will always be thankful for her commitment to help where she could.<BR>
<BR>
Since I have copied Tony, I was wondering if you had an e-mail address for Christy Barden (if you have that information) . It's sad to say that I only have the 'Toss to catch up with friends like Christy or Ken Britt from Las Vegas, etc., and with the 'Toss cancelled in 2020, I missed seeing many Corsa friends. After having attended the Fan Belt Toss since 1998 and joining Corsa West's E-Board in 2003, I look forward to Palm Springs more for social interaction vs buying and swapping parts. It is one of the events I can always count on for Christy to be at and I always love catching up.<BR>
<BR>
If someone has a # to reach Christy, I would entertain getting that too. If anyone wants to request permission from Christy to share that information, my phone number is (818) 422-4066. If he wants, he can call me directly.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you all for everything you do to keep the interest in our little car going. The Corvair world is still thriving out here, albeit dealing with the safety protocols attached to Covid, and we look forward to seeing you guys at the next 'Toss or at a CORSA event.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Bill<BR>
