Gentleman,

I think I can shed some light on this situation. Donnie and Jane Bird  
have been members of CORSA SC for two or three years now. Jane happens  
to be in charge of graphic design (I'm not sure of her exact title or  
responsibilities) for Smilemakers, which is located just off I-85, East  
of Spartanburg, SC. Jane is also the editor of our newsletter, "News  
and Affairs of Corvairs". They are very enthusiastic Corvair people. It  
doesn't surprise me at all that Jane snuck a Corvair into the  
assortment of stickers!
