I met Mr. Liming in 2012 at the Bloomington Gold Corvette Show in St. Charles, Illinois. We were both there celebrating the 50th Anniversary of our Corvettes. I spent about thirty minutes talking with him about his Corvette that he purchased new in Gridley. I couldn't believe a 50 year old Corvette at the time still had the original owner. He explained to me how that happened, and how it was put back on the road. I thought that was an amazing story. I told myself I wouldn't forget his name, I'm sorry to see of his passing.
