Scale Visions
(Click above to link to Scale Visions site)

Don Theune, owner of Scale Visions, was a "neighbor" to Sandy and Me in "T" building at Corvettes @ Carlisle in 1999, the year we were honored
to be featured in "Chip's Choice". Don has for years donated one of his spectacularly detailed models to the Charity Auction at Carlisle.

He was so impressed with Sandy's mission that he decided that he would create a replica of her Corvettes Conquer Cancer C5 for the next year's Auction. His models are usually one-off units, but he told us that in this case he would make two - one for the Auction and the other to be placed in the National Corvette Museum.

Much to my surprise and delight, he showed up at Carlisle in August of 2000 with three, the third one was for me, in Sandy's memory!

Thanks, Don!
