Smitty Says:  I wrote a mild rant the other day concerning the fact that the
reason for the conventions was to get Corvair lovers and Corvairs together.
<smitty snip> I have read three posts in the last few days on this forum
about what a wonderful place Buffalo is and not a &^$^* one of them
mentioned anything about Corvair activities.

registration plus just a few feet to the interest group meetings and tech
