While we were down in New Orleans, we received some awful news: the "den mother" of our NCRS Chapter passed after a short and brutal battle with cancer. Elaine was the Delaware Valley chapter's "Meet/Activity Chairperson" for decades—she organized our annual Run For The Ribbons chapter meet and led the tabulation. Beyond that, she was the driving force behind the NCRS Gallery at Carlisle every year.

From what I can tell, Elaine was a major figure in the Corvette hobby for at least forty years: it seemed she knew everybody. She was also personally kind to both Ivelis and myself.

RIP.
