Jim Gessner-The Great Hall

[Vettefinderjim]

Thanks for the "KUDO'S" guys. Dee and I got home last night after 5425 miles of touring and enjoying the BLOOMINGTON GOLD EVENT. It was a lot of fun, especially to be inducted with the first group of 10 people.

The other people are Noland Adams, George Barlos, Richard Fortier, Dick Guldstrand, Al Knoch, Jim Krughoff, Bob McDorman, Bill Mock, and Jim Prather.

This group of Corvette Pioneers in the hobby set the stage for many things to come. I am pleasantlty surprised to be included and thank the Selection Committee.

I was very fortunate in my lifetime to be "where the action happened", especially the Race Track where Corvettes competed often. Had they not raced them on Sunday, they never would have sold any on Monday......and none of us would be having so much fun today.

Bill Locke and Dave Burroughs created the "GREAT HALL" about The People.....The Cars.......The Stories....

What an honor to be one of 50 people to be included over the next 4 years.
