Default Lost another Corvette enthusiast yesterday
My dear friend Gayle Porter Brown passed away peacefully in her sleep yesterday.

Gayle was a long time Corvette enthusiast, having owned numerous mid-years, a 70 454 4 speed convertible, a 92 coupe, and her latest, an 09 coupe that she bought new and took museum delivery on.

I have the pleasure of helping her spec the 09, and taking her to the museum to pick up her new toy.

I am looking forward to the time when she and I can take another ride in a Corvette. We all know that there are Corvettes in heaven; how can there not be.
