All,
Another special, special circumstance. I just became aware of the postings relative to JohnZ and his selection to the Corvette Hall of Fame.
As I said in my CRPL email that is posted in this thread, I gathered up 35,000 emails that John has written responding to resto questions on the various web Corvette Forums.
This type of activity was/is key. Dave Burroughs (CEO/founder of Bloomington Gold) said in his testimonial that John lived it (21 years I believe with GM/Camaro/Corvette) and is far better than any book. Noland Adams (Hall of Fame member) said in his testimonial that John brings great credit on the hobby (I would say passion). Dave McLellan (former Chief Engineer for Corvette, HOF member) said that he provided his testimonial because John and he were on the same path to build far superior Corvettes. Alex C Mair (former GM v.p. who ran engineering - my co-nominator) said in his testimonial that GM would been much further ahead if GM had adopted John's initiatives faster. How profetic at the moment. Zora and John worked for Alex.
So, very, very much appreciate all of your help/wishes for John and ever so rewarding to read the email threads that relate.

P.S. Hopefully, my profile picture will reflect my 64 in its bare bones state. No rugs, interior stuff, etc. John helped me restore the front end, rear end, engine compartment, and interior. Very rewarding on a personal level.
