TRIBUTE to JUDY BRUNNER
Rob and I are pleased to support St. LAC's Regional Slalom for
the 14th consecutive year in honour of Judy, by providing our Race
Car Trailer for Timing and Registration.
Our intent is to keep Judy's name alive in the Solo II community,
as she was a significant and very respected participant in the
late 60's, 70's, and early 80's in our 1966 MK I Lotus Cortina.
Judy very ably demonstrated that women could be just as competitive
as men in slaloms and was a major encouragement to other ladies
to get involved.
Judy achieved the following Slalom/Solo II awards:
St. LAC Club Over-all Champion
CASC-OR Ladies Over-all Champion
CASC-OR Men's Class Champion
CASC-National Ladies Over-all Champion
CASC-National Men's Class Champion
SCCA-Central New York Region (Syracuse) Men's Class Champion
SCCA-North East Divisional Ladies Class Champion
Due to a job transfer to the Toronto area, we curtailed our Solo
activities in the mid-80's but were planning to renew competition
upon our return to Kingston. While in Toronto, Judy, who had been
an accomplished amateur actress and dancer in Kingston, began
a professional acting career and appeared in numerous TV shows,
Movies, Still Advertisements and TV commercials.
Unfortunately, she began experiencing severe lung problems (pulmonary
fibrosis) and passed away while waiting for a Lung Transplant
in March of 1998 at the age of 57.
Besides enjoying the event today, we encourage you to be aware
of the Organ Donor Program and consider participating so that
in the unfortunate situation that something happens to you, you
could save other lives.
Enjoy the event!
Respectfully,
Eric and Rob Brunner
