In April of 2001 I received an e-mail from Richard Fleming
in Florida. He had sent a story to Vette Magazine. Bob Wallace liked it so
much he ultimately made a 4 page article out of it, which appeared in the
August, 2001 issue. Since the heart of Richard's story was losing his wife of
30+ years to breast cancer the year before, Bob referred Richard to this web
site. Because we were both traveling the same road, so to speak, raising money within the
Corvette community for the fight against cancer, we agreed to coordinate our
efforts, and to work together if we were at the same event.
We
finally met at the NCRS Winter Meet in Orlando. The team effort there was
wonderful, and we will be able to send the American Cancer Society in Florida
$1860 as a result.
Below is Richard's story, as found in the
beautiful booklet he produced.
