<VV> 23 Corvairs at Walter Mitty

[Louis Armer]

Excellent points you make James but the problem in the past has been 
that our 20+ years of the annual Corvair Atlanta Springfest
always took place the same weekend as the Walter Mitty so it was 
impossible for anyone to attend both events until Sunday  afternoon 
when the Springfest attendees could have attended the last afternoon 
of the Walter Mitty.
      Now that the weekends no longer conflict it may be possible for 
some Corvair folks to attend at least the Saturday Car Corral at the 
Walter Mitty and we can encourage this to happen
