Meet Dave and Larry.  They are the coordinator and assistant coordinator for the National Corvette Council Convention for 2011. Unless you’ve tried doing something like this, you have no idea what a tremendous undertaking they volunteered for. But, along with many helpers, they provided the place for hundreds and hundreds of people to gather and spend […]

Just a couple photos during both Friday morning breakfast and the Awards Banquet later in the evening. It’s an amazing sight to see as hundreds of people, from all over the country, decide to come together for their vacation. They all have a common bond–Corvettes. They share racing, food, stories and a true sense of commaradery […]

I felt like I wanted to sit and listen to them instead of the other way around. It was a pleaure to get to know and talk to them before, during […]
