[ba] Tony Lum

[Arun Rao]

Oh, no ... that's tragic. Really sorry to hear that.

Tony was a great guy. Many years ago, he loaned me a shock absorber removal tool. Must've been back when I had my 85 5KT. I seem to remember that he lived in Berkeley at the time -- did he move, then?

That may have been the last time I met him in person. You think you have all the time in the world to keep in touch with people, but you don't.

Thanks for passing on the news, Steve.
