This has just been a horrible, horrible year for my heroes. We've lost way to many of the sports earlier stars to ill health and now by accident. The reading of the names at CHRR this year is going to take way to long and be a very solemn affair. God speed to Gordon and his entire family.

Flash's old shop was just up the road here in North Texas. What a loss. I heard of the crash yesterday, but had no idea who was involved.
A big loss.
