> local listmembers to ride and hang around with. We had a special bond
> which only short riders have with one another. We recently rode a few
> laps on the Disney/Mountford Schwinn 1964 Olympic track tandem on one of
> gatherings here in San Diego. I will miss him deeply. He was just here
> this past Monday to pick up his freshly restored 1964 Masi Special,

> God Bless you, Dave. Rest in Peace.
