Default I've retired

After 3 1/2 years as a paid employee and close to 5 years volunteering my services, I have now retired from Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School. It has been a fabulous ride, a real dream job come true. I’ve learned so much, worked with fabulous people and met Corvette friends from all over the world.

There will now be time for Mike & I to enjoy our Corvettes and our wonderful Corvette friends. Look for us traveling around in our 2006 Silver Z06 or 2008 Jet Stream Blue Z51 coupe.

Anthony D’Avanzo will be taking my place on the forums. Please welcome Anthony to the forums and say hello to him at Corvette shows across the country. Anthony can be reached at Anthony@racespringmountain.com.

I hope to see many of you during my Corvette travels.

Janet

Janet, it was one of my great regrets from my time in Las Vegas that I didnt experience the Spring Mountain School. I know from colleagues that the set up was well respected and people came from all over the country and even further afield.

Hopefully I can get back to Vegas one of these days and fulfil the dream

Happy Retirement
