Before his pre-tour speech, Wil Cooksey managed to take time from his busy schedule to talk
personally with C5 Registry Members.

C5 Registry Director
Jake Drennon introduced the Mayor of Bowling
Green to the C5 Registry.
Wil's
talk to the C5 Registry was about his
personal background, How he felt about Corvette, and managing the Corvette Plant. He
covered ground on the production of the C5,
and fielded questions from the floor.
John
Cafaro addressed the C5 Registry following the plant tour. John talked
about old days in Studio 3, showed some of he designs from the team, and told us how some
of the special projects (LT1, ZR1, Grand Sport, etc..) on the C4 kept the C5 alive during the critical years at GM. He also
told us how the C5 was developed and how it
linked to earlier Corvettes. Here, C5 Registry
Director Dan Adovasio, (containing his excitement)

members present.
After John's seminar, the group filed out to "Cafaro
Hill" for a group photo at the site of the C5
Registry NCM brick.
We then adjourned to the Special
Dinner with John Cafaro at Bowling Green's Plaza Hotel. 178
C5 Registry Members were in attendance.
