Getting questions as to the April 30th display in Scottsdale AZ.

This is a very special day as the car will be on display and in addition a very special guest will join us.

Scottsdale Resident Herb Leitz the Plant Manager of Chevrolet Norwood Final Assembly will be there to say "Hi" and talk about the Norwood plant and its operations.

Herb was the Deputy Plant Manager under Jack Rhodes from 1967 through early 1969 and then succeeded Mr. Rhodes as the full plant manager through the end of the 1971 build out.

The Herb Leitz "reunion" will be hosted at the Barrett-Jackson showroom in Scottsdale and Herb will be there most of the day to meet and greet Camaro and Firebird owners. Bring your car and a sharpie marker - Herb will be happy to sign and autograph or your trunk lid if you want him to.

There will also be copies of the Team #1 Norwood employee newspaper front page from 1970 that Herb will also autograph if you want a copy.

Several artifacts will be on display including the ultra cool "Norwood production gang Wire Tree" which was a gift to Herb While at Norwood. Here is Herb on the right side of the vintage photo accepting the Wire tree in 1970. The second Photo is Herb and his extended family today. He is now 88!

The man in the center of the family photograph is Steve Leitz - Herb's Son. Steve worked the assembly line at Norwood in 1968 while in attending school.

Steve will be there to meet and greet and talk about life on the "long line" while assembling the 1968's.

Great photos & read.

I am glad to see Mr Leitz is doing well.

I worked in his organization as a young buck, in a newly created position which demonstrated the now commonplace concept of having assembly plant representation in the engineering community. I found him to be intelligent, fair and an excellent administrator/manager (as you might expect) and I appreciated my time there.

Please give him my best wishes.

Keith,

Sad to report that he is not well and has entered pulmonary Hospice... That is why this event was arranged so quickly. This is a 100% mercy mission. We need to do things quickly before things deteriorate.

Ouch - I am sorry to hear that bit of news (sorry for the assumption on my part).

Prayers lifted up for Mr Leitz and his family, and glad to see the event was a hit.
