I just heard that one of my favorite automotive journalists & historians,
Beverly Rae Kimes, passed away last month at 68.
She was with Automoble Quarterly from the beginning and was known for
interesting, well researched articles on automotive subjects. She had a
talent for bringing personalities to life and holding the readers attention,
and was the recipient of about every award in automotive journalism. She
acted as judge or announcer at many classic car events and was considered
one of the best in her field. She wrote hundred of articles and several
books, including collobarating with Richard Langworth on the landmark book,
Packard Story. She did much to advance the old car hobby and will be missed
by many.

I met her only one time - at AQ in the early 1970s. I didn't have a
chance to talk withher long enough to judge her persnality, but
admired her works.and the folks at the museum speak well of her.
