Bonnie has an interesting story of how she and the Professor first met. All I will say is, calculus was tough for a lot of us.
Andy was among the best of us.
Peace be with all of us... somehow.

No.
I don't recognize anyone other than Andy.

That is wonderful tribute video.
Thanks for sharing. Nelson.

Can you share the story, Nelson? I'd like to hear it please.
Thanks again for sharing.

Moderators, could this entire post be moved or copied to "The Eternal Podium" under Slot Car History in the Vintage Slot Cars section? It would seem appropriate, thanks.

Dave,
That's our normal routine, i.e. to move threads such as this one into The Eternal Podium subforum after a short time.
Threads in the General Slot Racing forum receive more views than anywhere else on Slotblog, so it seems worthwhile to let such sad threads reside there for a while before relocating them into The Eternal Podium.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

I hope the gang at Professor Motor finds time to do some work on their email account. Its disconcerting to get notices from Andy Smith.
