Hi Members,
     God called me to his side on March 15, 2004.  On a cold November 14th morning I looked down and saw the true 
meaning of life and how my journey touched family, friends and the memories we gave each other.  I tried to tell
them that you were all there for the  food!  NO he replied they were there for me.
     Even I was impressed with the turn out, all the LICOA Corvettes gleaming in that November sun traveling down
Ocean Parkway passing the OBI and on to Captree Boat Basin.  For this I thank each and everyone of you, its's a 
memory I will cherish thru eternity, for this is where we met years ago and said our earthly good by's on that day.
     Don't worry about me I am in a wonderful place with old friends that I missed as much as I miss you.  We are
continuing our journey waiting for the day we can pursue all our dreams with all those we loved and left behind.
     I would like to thank you for being there for my family, for being my friend and giving me the memories to
hold dear to my heart.  Do not be afraid to follow your own dreams living each and every day accumulating the memories
you can take from this life to the next.  Stand true to what you believe for this is who you truly are.
     As I watch the leaves fall knowing that winter is about to set in, I look forward to the spring where we all will
prepare for the new season.  Look up when you are in a caravan ask me to join you.  Keep those Corvette's show ready
I still have my clip board and you know I am going to judge each and every show.  Keep me in your thoughts. 
     Till we compete again, I miss you all.
	 
	 With all my love and respect " KEEP THE WAVE"
