Hopefully, this exhibit will encourage, educate, and inspire all attendees, especially today’s youth. May that spark enthusiastically motivate them to create new and innovative positive ideas, discoveries and inventions that will meet and far exceed all of our many future challenges. Throughout my life I have admired, owned and enjoyed many of the C1 – C8 Corvettes.

Being a small part of the incredible National Corvette Museum is an exceptional privilege I will always treasure.”
