One Acre Club Spotlight: Steve and Debbie Uhrig

Lifetime Members Steve and Debbie Uhrig had waited 40 years before getting into the Corvette family, but in 2008 they finally took Museum delivery of their Atomic Orange coupe. “We had a great time.” Steve says. “We were so impressed with the Museum and the camaraderie we found there that we wanted to be a part of it from then on.” So when talk began about a Motorsports Park, they got involved right away by purchasing a half acre. However, as their enthusiasm grew so did their commitment, putting them eventually into the TWO Acre Club!  “We’ve got the means to help, and see this as a great thing all the way around. It will benefit the Corvette community by giving us all a place to enjoy our cars and it will also help keep the Museum going far into the future.”

Learn more about the Motorsports Park project online here.

Jerome Charles Bench Memorial Fund

Shortly before this year’s Bash at the National Corvette Museum, the Corvette family lost an important team member. Jerome Charles, Harlan’s father, passed away suddenly. Jerry was cremated immediately with no funeral or memorial service to mark his passing. The family has had no closure nor have the people who love Harlan had a way to support him in his grief. 

The Corvette program team, Bowling Green Assembly Plant and the National Corvette Museum want to change that. The Corvette Design studio is creating a graphic for the bench in dedication of Harlan and his father's shared love of Corvettes. In this way, the Charles family will have an appropriate memorial for Jerry.

Harlan has dedicated his life to the Corvette community. No individual has put more of his heart and soul into the car, the hobby and the people. We all saw him at this year’s Bash despite his father’s death. It is our turn to support him.

Please help make this idea a reality by making your tax-deductable contribution to the Jerome Charles memorial bench fund.

Sincerely,

Tadge Juechter
Corvette Chief Engineer and Vehicle Line Director
