John Fitch one of the last of the legendary drivers of the 50’s is in trouble with the state for trying to do the right thing. If you are a CT resident take a moment to tell you legislators your thoughts. Contact info is at ct.gov. This is a copy of an email a friend of mine sent:

Dear Governor Rell:
A friend of mine and a true patriot, 90 year old John Fitch of Lime Rock, CT, needs assistance. Among events in his life, John was a fighter pilot in WW II and a POW in Germany. He also invented the Fitch Inertial Barrier (the yellow barrels seen prior to bridge abutments and highway exit ramps). His whole life has been dedicated to research in automotive safety. I have included two websites below that explain his situation and hope you can help this fine gentleman. Thank you,
