Today marks the one year anniversary of Gary's death. What a character he was. I never spent any face to face time or phone time with him that I did not enjoy. I tried to call Adam earlier this evening to let him know that I was thinking of him, but I did not get an answer. Through Gary I had the opportunity to meet both of his children, Adam and Chris, his ex wife, Leslie, both Dave and John Treen, Norman Burton, Bob Legron, Wayne Mahaffey, Larry Brown, and Gary's nephew, Hal Lee. Hal joked that there were more toilets at the 1993 show in Hammond, LA, than participants, but it was a blast! Gary had the most interesting analytical mind of anyone I have ever known. He was brilliant with making changes to the Simplex engine. He said that my engine ran 50 degrees cooler that a stock engine, and had considerably more power as well. My wife would often say, "It's Gary on the phone for you. You better use the regular phone as you two will kill the battery on the cordless phone." So, on this day I salute you, Gary Wollard. I will never forget the good times and conversations we shared! What he did to promote collecting and restoring Servi-Cycles cannot be measured!!
