All - - -My wife Eileen and I attended the cruise-in and memorial for Carol
Ragsdale in Elkhart last night.  We determined that we didn't know them
because they live in the community next door and didn't belong to our
Corvair club.  In talking to their friends we found that they were fairly
new to Corvairs and purchased it from a family member.  They were part of a
small group people who each drove different makes of automobiles.  We signed
the guest book representing Corvairs and Corsa.  Ken Ragsdale was not able
to attend as he is still in the hospital with much more substantial injuries
than those reported in the news article.
I talked briefly with the couple who were following the Ragsdales but they
were still too grief-stricken to talk about the accident.
Bond has been set but as far as I know the driver of the other car is still
in jail.
What a waste of a beautiful life - -  -Dick Shank
