I met Ivo, back in January, at the GNRS. He's about 82, and has more energy, and more stories than you can imagine. He speaks highly of all these guys. It was fun meeting him. I miss the Mongoose. RIP

In the 60's Ivo beat all these guys.

I had many a great time at Fremont Drag Strip. The sixties were unforgettable.

Sounds like workplace fun and games went a little over the top. I mean taping somebody's salmon left in the lunchroom under his toolbox so gnats follow his box around for a couple weeks is funny. Putting big signs on the back of a guy's pickup that says "I'm gay and I'm proud" . . . well that's risky. Some take it well but you know somebody will get mad too easy.
fwiw I wasn't in on the second one. It was funny though.

Ivo is rude in person, unlike Mcewan or the Snake
