<VV> Recognizing those who have contributead much to the Corvair hobby.

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

I agree with giving appreciation to those that have helped our hobby, but  
NOT making it a contest or "hall of fame" as some may be missed and feel bad 
 about it.

It seems to me that as the graying of our  Corvair family becomes more and 
more apparent, when a member dies who has  given much to our Corvair 
community, there is a heartfelt sense of loss and  and an appreciation for all of 
the contributions that member had made. The  feeling of loss is not only for 
them and their family personally but also  includes a sense of a diminished 
Corvair future for those who remain.
All  of the kind words for those who have given so much to us over the 
years will  never be heard by those who have passed on.  Wouldn't it be better 
if the  kind words could be said while they are still with us?
Most of us have been  around Corvairs for decades and we all know of 
individuals who gave/give   so that others would be helped with answers to all 
sorts of questions be they  mechanical, organizational, or information of one 
sort or another.
Let's  thank them before the inevitable happens.  

After a bit of thought  all of us could identify five? (ten?) persons that 
have given so much of  themselves over the years so that we continued to 
enjoy our cars.  A  tally could be kept and those with the most votes could be 
recognized and know  their contributions were really appreciated.  Call it a 
Hall of Fame, an  Honor Roll, a Certificate of Recognition, or something 
else, but the  recognition might really be appreciated by those who 
unselfishly gave of  themselves. 

Is there any interest out there for this kind of  endeavor?
Might this be a topic for discussion at the national committee  level?
I don't know how to make it happen but it seems like a good idea to  me,

Just my thoughts.
