<VV> That fatal crash: Did we know the Ragsdales?

[richard shank]

Bill - - I do live about 15 miles from where the crash occurred.  I do not know them and they were not a member of our local club.  I vaguely remember talking to someone in past years at a Mishawaka car show who had a car similar to the one in the crash.  He did not have any interest in joining our local club which has since disbanded.  My wife and I plan to attend the cruise in tomorrow evening.  I asked another local Corvair friend, Bruce McIntosh if he knew them and he said he has no recollection of them either.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful - - -Dick Shank

I believe that news of the tragic, fatal crash in Indiana was  first brought 
to us by someone posting on this list asking if any of us knew the  family 
affected or were familiar with their 1964 Corvair coupe.  To the  best of my 
knowledge, that question has not been answered.  I checked my  most recent Corsa 
directory and did not see their names.  Does anyone know  if they were Corsa 
members or members of a local Corsa chapter?  Has any  one of us met them or 
come across their Corvair at a show or cruise in?  
BTW, their local paper added an article yesterday regarding  the community's 
reaction which reported, in part the following: 
<Meantime, family and friends are remembering Carol  Ragsdale with a special 
event. Because the Ragdale’s were such car enthusiasts,  they're having a 
"Celebration Cruise for Carol." It's on Wednesday night at the  Matterhorn 
Restaurant in Elkhart. It's from 4-8 p.m. Car enthusiasts and the  public are 
invited.>
