I ran across Oggie in a parking lot. He was going in as I was leaving. As is my usual practice when I see someone driving an old car I asked to shoot a few pictures. Also, as is a family tradition, I didn’t turn loose of him without knowing a good part of his life story.
He is from Montana, spent his career in Nevada, and is glad to be home. His mother bought this 66 Corvette new from Tomchek Chevrolet in Townsend, Montana. He inherited it from her.
