VMCCA Friends:

I regret to report the death of Buck Shaver. Buck was in the VMCCA for years and participated in many national tours. He served as Technical Vice President a few years back.

Buck was severely burned in a garage accident about a month ago. I don't know the details, but it involved a gasoline fire in one of his collector cars. His tragic death is a reminder of the need to be careful in our hobby. Many of us spend countless hours alone in garages and it's easy to overlook the dangers lurking around our old cars.

My sympathy to his family, Buck will be very much missed in the VMCCA and Colorado Springs.
