What a shock... I look back to the days of working in Riverside in the mid 70's at Sierra Porsche Audi and having
the good fortune of meeting most of the movers and shakers of the VW drag scene.  Lee's shop was right next door
to Fumio's place and it was always fun to chat him up.  One day we were talking about a broken ring and pinion
in my sand rail and he mentioned his son Mike doing transmission repair.  I had Mike do ours and never had another
problem; something I never forgot.  RIP
