<VV> Expert witness info - Corvair included

[Allan V. Lacki]

I conducted interviews with Carl Thelin by way of email last year and published my
interview notes in the Lehigh Valley Corvair Club's May 2012 newsletter.

You can read the interview article here, at the following web address:

http://www.corvair.org/chapters/lvcc/lvcc_newsletters/lvcc_2012_05_fifth_wheel.pdf

I provided a copy of the newsletter to Carl and he replied that it was a fair 
recounting of his comments and opinions. 

Carl Thelin is retired now, and he uses his blog simply to record the experiences
of his career. He is by no means interested in engaging in any more court-room 
testimony or any other kind of safety consulting. I found his recollections of
his work at GM to be quite interesting. My sense is that he left GM not so 
much because of the corporation's engineering decisions, but because he became
disillusioned with the way in which corporation defended itself against
safety allegations in general. And believe it or not, he is a former 
Corvair owner. Al Lacki
