I don’t know how in the world I missed this notice. Dale and I beat up the trail to the Twin Cities many times . He won it and I followed behind picking up the parts. Spent time together at West Yellowstone,where he set a number of speed records. It is just plain sad that we didn’t keep in touch. Sandy you have Carol and My sympathy and Love.
