I'm waiting to see if the REPOST antics occur when it involves a death announcement.

To everyone that first sees this and knows who Graham was, it is a shock and the first implulse is to let everyone know.

Graham was a great guy. I posted a really nice tribute to him on the LOONY site and how I felt about it. It really threw me for a loop. He was young to pass away. I was hoping to get him to speak at our next LOG.

I had invited him to speak at our LOG at Watkins Glen in 1999, and went through the Caterham dist. down in Atlanta...Frank something....and he told me that Graham would not come because I invited the Brikin people from South Africa.

Later when I met Graham in person, I asked him about this and told him the story. He said that he never got the invite and would have loved to come. It is one of my great regrets that I did not contact Caterham directly.

Was very close to buying a lime green Elan from him in the early 70's
