There is One Less Lotus Enthusiast in Our Midst
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Claudia, my wife of 27 years, died yesterday morning due to a blood clot. She was 63 and had been retired one year. It was unexpected.
Many in the Lotus community have known her through her attendance at LOG (she only missed one since LOG 12) and other events. She didn't drive the M100 very often but loved our cross-country tours. It was quiet and smooth riding allowing her to sleep on the highways while carrying enough luggage for our month long trips.

That is truly awful news Dean, though I only know of you through this forum you genuinely have my deepest sympathies.

Thanks to all. There was a small but rowdy crowd of Lotus people at her service. It was great to see all of them. Two M100 owners and want to be.
