Bit of sad news...
The Milwaukee Corvair Club has lost four members, in just the last three months. They are:
-- Tim Wick was President in the late 70's/early 80's (and his wife, Lori, was Secretary), they left MCC in the late 80's, or so. Tim moved from Corvairs to an "Amphicar" (personalized license plates: CAR BOAT) in the early 90's; he attended the Club's bi-annual picnic, at the lake home of Pete and Fran Burgeson in 1995, and drove it right in!
-- Dick Reinders, host of most MCC bi-annual picnics at his incredible home, and grounds, in Sullivan, from 1989 to 2015. Dick, along w/ member Mel Francis, built the (80% scale) duplicate of the red Corvair Monza SS, factory show car, several years ago, Dick and Andy Kinzelman brought it to the 2019 CORSA Convention, in St. Charles IL.
-- Pete Burgeson was a MCC member along w/ his wife, Fran, from around 1980 until recently. They moved to Lebanon TN in 2005, where they continued to enjoy their unique, "1 of 1," El Cormino. Pete passed on December 4th. Side note, no one could tell a joke like Pete!
-- Jim Ott ("not the weatherman," as he liked to say) passed away on December 9th, he was 92. Jim joined MCC around 1972, and was a member until recently. Jim had several Corvairs over the years, including a yellow, '64 Spyder convertible. Jim was also a "Ham" radio operator, and was considered MCC's "technical consultant" for many years.
All smooth roads to Tim, Dick, Pete and Jim...

Health Alert for those who work on Old Cars!
My name is Marissa Krick and I work in the Outreach Department of The Mesothelioma Center (Asbestos.com). Auto Mechanics are at risk of developing mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused from asbestos exposure that can take 20-50 years to develop. Asbestos was commonly used in the production of older car parts, including including brakes, clutches and heat seals. Our website features extensive information on asbestos and we work 1-on-1 with individuals to help them find local doctors, treatment centers and support groups all at no cost. The link below has valuable information that can help inform not just professional, but also home mechanics of the dangers of asbestos and the steps involved if affected. www.asbestos.com/occupations/auto-mechanics/
