Re: BG 2007 Planning
Some of us old timers remember the insider information on the ZR-1 from
Jim Ingle, who was one of the prove-in engineers, on the zr1net. Does anyone know where he is now? Van Dorn? Ralph Kramer? Jingles would be a valuable addition at BG. |

Re: BG 2007 Planning
I'll do some checking around on Jingles. He was there in the beginning and was a terrific source of information, he got dismayed however, after a few so-called net "experts" thought they knew more then he did. (go figure!)
Ralph Kramer (former Chevrolet head of PR/Communications, recently had a heart attack. He was at his grandson's basketball game and that's all he knew until he woke up days later at the hospital. He said he didn't realize he was "sitting with angels" as they had to do CPR. If I know Ralph it was a Hooter's girl who did the mouth to mouth…. The Doc told Ralph not many have the opportunity to die twice. Ralph said it was really weird. No pain, no strange lights, no tunnel, no harps or music. Man was I pissed! I was looking sorta forward to all that….<ggg> (that's a BIG grin Dwight) :-) I asked Ralph if by chance he mighta smelled a BBQ somewhere?? I'll do some checking…. Jvd in BG |
