Steven,
Wow, thanks for that! Excellent!
I will be announcing the "Celebration of Daves' Life" that will be held this comming Friday, July 25, in Orange, CA. Listmembers are welcome to attend the Celebration which will be held at 12:30pm. I will post the location and address a little later today.
Work to do now; more later.

Has anything interesting happened in the Tour Lately? I'm getting bored.
When are they going to have a bike race?

> Sono molto addolorato per la morte di Dave Staub. Se ricordo bene,
> aveva un telaio Cinelli che mio padre gli aveva costruito dopo avergli

> I AM VERY TOUCHED BY THE DEATH OF DAVE STAUB. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY,
> HE HAD A CINELLI FRAME THAT MY FATHER BUILT FOR HIM AFTER HAVING
> ACCURATELY TAKEN THE MEASUREMENTS.

> Lo ricordo che entrava e usciva con frequenza dai ns/ uffici ed aveva
> contatti con mia madre che parlava bene l'inglese.
> I RECALL THAT HE USED TO FREQUENTLY COME AND GO FROM OUR OFFICE AND HAD
> CONTACT WITH MY MOTHER WHO SPOKE ENGLISH WELL.

> THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HIS DEATH SEEM TO BE THE "EPITAPH" AT THE END OF

> BELIEVE THAT ONLY FEW ARE CONCEEDED THE POSSIBILITY TO PASS TO "BETTER

> Con le mie più sincere condoglianze mi unisco al lutto per "Un Ciclista
> Americano".
> WITH MY MOST SINCERE CONDOLANCES, I JOIN IN THE GRIEF FOR "AN AMERICAN
> CYCLIST."
