Sad news

Postby Greg Phillips on Fri Feb 01, 2013 9:01 pm

From Skip Carter-
Virginia Case, passed away last Sunday
Jack and Ginny's Red Boxster (sporting license plate "PCA in 55") could be found at many PCA events
As a nurse in New Jersey, Ginny would drive their 356 around the countryside as a visiting nurse - rain or snow
Over the years, usually at lunch, some of the things that would come up in conversation were:
A story about how she and her twin sister met Thomas Edison
A story about how she and a girl friend met Albert Einstein in a park
A story about how they won the overall competition trophy at the first Porsche Parade (and seeing photos of them with many trophies, and with most members of the Porsche family

She will be missed. She was a "one of a kind" woman!

With condolences
Greg

So sorry to hear the news. Ginny was such a nice person and Porsche enthusiast. She will be greatly missed. I hope Jack is okay.

I wanted to post a shot of Ginny. It was taken just a few weeks ago at our last Installation Dinner with Monique talking with her. Godspeed Ginny...

Jack was the National VP on the West Coast when SDR got its Charter in 1957. Jack was the one that OK'ed that Charter. Jack and Ginny lived in L.A. at the time and were about to start L.A. Region of PCA.

Jack and Ginny case were also some of the first members of PCA, period. They were charter members before there were individual regions. They helped start it all. Good on them........ :wink:
