Ron Valine, May 3, 2012
Earlier this morning Colonel Ron Valine, our friend, Formula Ford driver and team mate, passed away.
Yesterday marked the 3 year anniversary of the accident at Blackhawk Farm that placed Ron in a Coma. Never giving in or backing down from a fight, Ron held in until the end, some believe, until his family was settled and ready for his departure, I believe this to be true.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Ginger and daughter Alison.
Ron has been missed, I can imagine missed for a long time to come. Please visit the Caring Bridge website for further information:nformation:

Barb Peterson, May 3, 2012
It is with great sadness that I pass along the news that our good friend Barb Peterson died on Thursday (5/2) evening at around 7pm. Her sister Sue Green reports that Barb passed quietly and in the loving presence of family. Barb had been ill with cancer, fortunately not a long time, but still a difficult one. She was a character - always looking on the bright side, and she will be missed by so many. Please keep Barb and her family in your prayers.

On Monday, May 2, 2012, at age 63, Barb was surrounded by her loving family as she made her final journey home. Barb was born on March 3, 1949 to Donald E. and Jean C. (nee Ellingboe) Peterson. She is preceded in death by her dear father and leaves her beloved mother, sisters Nancy (Scott) Nushart and Susan (Ric) Green and brother Jerry (Lyn) to cherish her memory. She is further survived by many family member, including 10 nieces and nephews, as well as a host of friends, both old and new.
Barb received her nursing degree in 1972 and worked a variety of acute care specialties throughout her career up to 2011. Her love of her Irish heritage was apparent by her six vacations to the Emerald Isle. Barb was an active member of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), volunteering her skills at a number of racing events around the country every year.
