February's Mystery Dinner Run was organized by Tom and Hollyann. 18 cars caravanned to Chilies in Port St. Lucie. They had a special menu for the club. It was another great evening for those attending. Thanks Tom and Hollyann. (Pictures)

On Feb 28, AACA hosted the annual Under The Oaks antique automobile show at Riverside Park. 23 Corvettes shared the park with rows and rows of vintage antique automobiles. Indian River Corvette Club had a strong showing with 16 Corvettes.
The weather was uncooperative until after lunch, but the sun finally managed to warm things up. Following the show the club again prepared and devoured 10 quarts of homemade Hobo Stew . Thanks go out to Terry and Sue, who organized the event, Denver and Sharon for donating the cooker, and everyone who brought their cars out for the show. (Pictures)

Speaking of AACA shows, Bonnie and Karl, Frank and Linda, and Dick and Lucy attended the Southeast Regional AACA show in Melbourne or March 6. Older Corvettes made a nice showing.

Duane Wolfe is known around Vero Beach as "The Shark Man"(Pictures). A feature article on Duanes shark fishing near the old Crustys restaurant made the front page. He loves coming to Vero from his home in Akron, Ohio, in his Torch Red 2000 Convertible. Joanne is always at his side sharing each exciting moment.

We haven't seen Duane and Joanne since last July when they caravanned with us to Bowling Green, KY for the 50th Anniversary celebration. An October trip back to Vero Beach was cancelled by the Wolfes because Duane was diagnosed with lung cancer. Duane continues to battle the cancer and would like to make the trip down in the spring. Surgery removed one lung and 60% of the other so Duane is functioning on 40% of one lung and a constant supply of oxygen. He has survived numerous kemo and radiation treatments.
