<VV> Corvair accident

[kcvair at netscape.com]

This goes to show how well known Corvair people are and how many friends they have.  Phil was known throughout the country as was Dick Shank who passed away 1 week ago.  Our club will miss them both.  Phil had been a member for many years and Dick was a member when he was a state legislator and senator in Indiana.
By the way, Phil had a roll bar installed when he bought the car new and apparently the windshield came in on him by looks of the picture.  I'm not one to blame the car.  Some things happen that are beyond our control.   Ken Clark

This was  Phil Haper (74) of Lafayette, IN. Phil was a long time and very 
active member  of the Circle City Corvair Club. He was on his way to the 
Annual Hoosier Auto  Show & Swap Meet in Indianapolis where the Corvair is
the 
featured car  this year. Phil was diabetic and some members in the club 
speculate that he  was having a medical problem along this area. 

Phil was a wonderful  man, extremely kind and gentle. He will be greatly 
missed by all of us in the  CCC club.

Oh - I am so sorry to hear that. Phil was a great guy and a real Corvair  
lover with a sparkling personality. He attended the Nationals and always 
stopped  by for a chat. He will truly be missed, even far away from Indy!
It  
reminds us of how short a time we really have on this earth.
