I've been 'out of it' for a year and a half, back problems. Get this: "O.K., Doc...maybe I can finish my Team racers now..."
Couldn't even sit for more than 15, 20 minutes! (it only hurt when I'd build!)
Got on the Hanger today, read about Von Lopez...shocker. Used to visit with him at the Bay Area contests, between rounds...Thought we'd have him forever. I'm saddened.
Godspeed, Rich.
