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

[paulsiano at yahoo.com]

I really like the digital Corvair Hall of Fame idea.

How about a facebook page where people could post their experiences with individuals?  Good deeds could be identified for all to see.  Might comments be grouped by individuals?

Think I'll post this idea to the group to see if there is interest. And thank you!
Paul

Some way to thank those who have faithfully served? Sounds like a great 
idea.
A plaque and "thank you" seems like a great start.

In some cases, an ongoing (digital) "Hall of Fame" might be nice, too. 
Someplace their friends and family can learn more or their hobby and now 
they touched others.

fwiw
Jay

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.

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.
