As for  the VV Meeting---no shot at the current Chair or Vairorg, but when 
I 
was  Chairman I  worked closely with the committee for Flagstaff and 
Carlisle  
to get a time on the schedule when there wasn't anything else going on,  
and 
also tried to get it to be the last meeting of the evening, so  afterwards 
the members can sit around, toss back some suds or sodas and  chew the fat. 



We had 29 people at this years VV meeting. Perhaps a little  small, but the 
Denver Convention was not a record setter in terms of  turnout. The meeting 
was not scheduled against any other event, and  the room was free following 
the meeting, and people did hang around and talk for  a bit. Thank you to 
the organizers!  The highlight was, as usual, the  name/face/ID roundtable as 
we recognized each user. Having attended most, but  not all, of the VV 
meetings over the years - since the first one - I have  noticed that the 
technical issues have pretty much gone away. As the computer  has become more 
ubiquitous in our lives, especially E-mail, and as the Virtual  Vairs 
"experience" has been smoothed out - (Thank You Bryan!) - the content has  become the 
only real discussion item.  We talked a bit about the "69 sales  price" email 
exchange, but like most issues, we agreed that a bit more  self-control was 
probably the solution. That is hard to administer from  outside!
 
The biggest Corvair/computer issue actually turned up at the Corsa annual  
meeting. A new website for Corsa which will go live soon. It was 
demonstrated at  the meeting, but final work should allow it to be presented to the 
outside  soon.
