Default Patting myself on the back.....
I own a couple of oil change shops. Every now and then a customer comes in that makes a difference in me and my crew. The following is a link to a letter Patrick Ofenloch had printed in the National Corvette Restorers Society newsletter about a recent visit to my shop. I just wanted to share it with the rest of the Corvette community...it really meant a lot that he took the time to write this and it would mean a lot if you took the time to read it.

Go to link and then choose June 2005...go to page 8...."Lessons to be Learned"

A sterling example of what the Corvette brotherhood/sisterhood is all about. I raise my glass to you, Sir.

Be well,
