First Lady of Vettes...your spirit will live on

Elfi Arkus Duntov passed away yesterday (Oct 23, 2008)

Her and Zora's life story are legendary, both larger than life!

I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with her at Carlisle a few years ago and it is a time I will never forget

My custom plate is AYE ZORA

When I knew I would be meeting her, I brought the plate, not knowing what her reaction might be

When she saw the plate, she took it in both hands, stared at, a slight tear formed and she looked up and said "Zora would love this"

She autographed the plate and we talked for a few minutes. She wanted to know if I knew Zora, which I did not except through an avid exploration of all his exploits. I mentioned one or two and she filled in some details I didn;t know.

Finally, I had to move on, lots of other people wanted to be with her

AYE ELFI and thanks

SO SORRY to hear that.
She was a VERY nice lady. I met her while my wife and I were at the Carlilse parade. She and Chip Miller (RIP) were sitting in his C-1. (I forget what year it was.)
Shes with Zora now and I'm sure their watching over the Corvette Family together.
