[CR]Hetchins pic links try #2

Folks - I never can tell when aol is going to put my posts into html format or just text. Sorry! Hopefully here is a plain text version of that post so the links will work. You will have to cut and past the URLs. Yahoo photos was down earlier today but should be back up now.

Here are some pics I found from the Interbike show in 1985. Alf looked pretty happy then, as he had just sold the company and was helping them sell the bikes in the US. Wouldn't you love to have that curved-tube, curly-stay Novus Ductor? As I remember, it was spoken for, but I bought the red and blue Novus Ductor, which some of you saw hanging in my store last year, for sale again. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/rdf1249/lst?.dir=/Hetchins+in+USA+1985&.src=ph& .order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/

And I've added some pics of articles to the 1982 Hetchins visit page http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/rdf1249/lst?.dir=/England+1982/Hetchins&.src=ph& .order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ One of them is from a get-together of the Greater Hetchins society of Lesser Seattle at the Unicorn Restaurant owned by Angus Robson, a Hetchins owner himself, in 1978. I sent the photo to the Southend Standard Recorder after my visit there and they printed it with a short article. The guy on the left looking like a detective is Frank Nashland, proprietor of Wheelsport of Bellevue for many years, now deceased. Paul Willison is third from left, then Margie Robinson, also now deceased. I knew the others names at one point but they escape me now. Paul? And then there is the article sent to me by Margie Robinson also from the Standard Recorder about my visit there.
