I happened to have been close to both Ted R.I.P & Charlie R.I.P. Ted "apprenticed" in Charlie's shop before I did. Ted did "drift away" from us owing to his problem with the sauce. But we all still loved him and he loved us. You guys simply do not know what you are talking about as to those relationships.

I apologize - I did not know what I was talking about, because I got confused as to who we were talking about and what facility. As to this "Fred" - never met him as far as I know - never worked for ECA. My mistake. Did hang around 1000 So. Hope street - ECA's personal World War I era Twin Six was still in the basement last time I was in there (probably 50+ years ago ! ). Met the salesman who delivered my own V-12 new!

Thought you were referring to ECL (Charlie Last did not like his first name, and made that known. At moment, cant recall what ECL's first name was, since I knew better than to call him by that ! (think it was "Earl" too. Cant recall).
