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

[hank kaczmarek]

There are many who deserve recognition.  Some were founding members.  Some 
were members for decades. Some were members of the club and aren't anymore, 
but the contributions they made are still worthy of recognition.
The ranks of members who bought Corvairs brand new are without a doubt 
getting smaller.  And there are plenty of guys in the big Corvair shop in 
the sky that deserve that recognition as well.
I feel bad for guys who never got to meet Tony Fiore.  My autographed copy 
of the Corvair Decade is NOT for sale.  For those who haven't met Bob Helt, 
make it a point to do so.  I was glad to have breakfast once with Richard 
Finch and tell him how much help his book was to me when I was a 
newbie---long before the internet was available for asking questions.  And 
there are guys who haven't written books, but have already forgotten more 
about Corvairs than I've ever known in the 27 years I've worked on and owned 
them.

I hope the club makes a decision to honor those whose contributions to the 
Club and the marque in general are worthy.

I don't know exactly how to honor the important people from the club. But 
one thing is for sure the club is graying including myself. Perhaps bringing 
new younger members in as has been discussed before may honor them in some 
way by saving what we've all enjoyed for so many decades. Paul Fox, long
