<VV> Daytona Convention Photographs

[Sethracer@aol.com]

At the convention in Daytona, in 2000, One of the best tech sessions was a  
series of talks by several people about the Corvair and what they did with it.  
Among the group was Smokey Yunick and Jerry Thompson. The third person who 
spoke  was Deacon Hundley. "Deac" was the youngest member of the group of guys 
who  drove, pushed and pulled the three early model Corvairs through the  
Darien Gap into Columbia back in 1961. Their story was chronicled in the  movie, 
"Daring the Darien", a Corsa viewing staple at many  conventions. I was trying 
to contact Deac for some matters last month. His  widow, Denise, called me to 
inform me that Deac had died last November. I  mentioned the Daytona talk. She 
said how much he had enjoyed doing the short  presentation for Dave Newell and 
the Corsa/CPF gang, and re-living the  trip. I told her was sorry to hear of 
Deac's passing and I offered her  a copy of the two Movies, "From here to 
There" and "Daring the Darien", as well  as the Video footage I have just added 
showing Deac's talk. What she would  really like is some of photos of Deac, 
pictures of him talking to the  group, or gathered with the speakers. If you shot 
any photos of the Tech Talk at  Daytona and have some you would like to 
contribute, please contact me and I will  coordinate getting them to her. If you 
need more info, just drop me back a  note. - Seth Emerson
