High Noon: In Praise Of The Stingray
My love and commitment belong to the wife of my youth, Susan. 32 years proves
that
.
My passionate joy belongs to the Corvette Sting Ray. Always has … especially the model from 1963. (46 years proves
that, too.)
I first
beheld
the ‘63 when I first
held
it in my hands. My brother, Gary, and I had just received a race car set with the “fast back” cars being small enough to fit in the palm of my little boy hands. Nevertheless, they roared … That’s when I fell in love with the Corvette.
This past week, a buddy of mine, Michael B, loaned me
his ‘Vette when he took off for Hawaii with his bride of 20 years for their celebration. I did not “hold it in my hands”, like I did as a boy in 1963….
it held me/
