Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	From Sports Car Market: Quote: Elfi Arkus-Duntov, wife of Corvette icon Zora Arkus-Duntov, passed away on October 23 at St. John's Hospital in Detroit. She had been hospitalized there for several weeks with a severe leg infection. She was 93. Together, she and Zora personified the performance and allure of the early Corvettes. Even well into their years, the pair had an energy and spark that infected everyone around them. Funeral arrangements are pending, though Elfi will be cremated and her ashes will be joined with Zora's as part of the current tribute inside the National Corvette Museum. I do feel a bit of sympathy for Elfi. She had to put up with Zora's wondering eye... and other appendages that wondered and roamed. I do not know how she did it.

Our Corvette club paid Zora to come to one or our shows. I was the lucky one who got to pick them up at the airport. Elfi was probably bored on the ride, all we talked about was racing.
