You're right I'm not old enough to have read everything, just
everything from about '87 and only bits and pieces from the ten years
prior. I actually grew up about 100 West of him in Coeur d'Alene,
Idaho and ever heard of him until I moved to Seattle and worked with
a guy named Monty"Montana"Pirtle who worked for him way back. It
doesn't surprise me that he was close to the BikeCentennial folks
since from what I've heard they were founded in his shop. Anyway
he's just one of those people I'm fascinated by. SO if anyone has
the aforementioned articles I'll be more than happy to trade for an
Art Stump aricle or something.
enjoy,
