I was Russell neighbor in woodland park, I had previously worked with Russ some
30 years ago at Inmos. The first year he moved in across the street from me he would come over and admire my c5 corvette. It wasnt long after taking a ride in my vette he bought a c5 corvette also.  We both took rides in each others vettes but mine was faster. A year later he came over and said I want to show you something in the garage.  He opened the garage door and WOW their sits a brand new Stingray Corvette.  I said what made you decide to buy the Stingray.  He said I couldnt stand the thought of you having a faster vette than me and laughs!  So he lets me take his Stingray for a burn and all I could say was WOW what a machine and that I was jealous. Last year we both took our corvettes to the Cruise above the Clouds and It was fun watching Russ talk to the crowds of people about the special features of the New Stingray.  He will be missed!
