BSCC- Sad news: John Clary died

[C. Raia]

We just learned of the death of John Clary, a member
of Colonial Corvair. John drove a beautiful red 1965
Monza convertible and was a proud and enthusiastic car
owner who loved to show off his Corvair at general car
shows; he was a great ambassador of our make to the
rest of the hobby.

Here's the notice that appeared in the Globe:
