I am sad to report the passing of Illinois Chapter member John Halbesma on August 18.
Those of us on Road Tours shared many happy miles with John and Lorraine. He and I shared our love of education as well as a love of Corvettes. You may note that John's membership number is adjacent to mine. John's 34 year career was as Industrial Arts teacher in Joliet Illinois. He is perhaps most easily remembered by us in NCRS for his strikingly similar appearance to Kenny Rodgers, his shining smile and his great humor. In recent years John has retired to Florida, but he maintained his Illinois Chapter membership and his devotion to education. My sympathies to Lorraine and his family.

There will be a celebration of his life on September 8, 2022 in Crest Hill Illinois as indicated in the above link.
Cruise on brother.
