Best of Luck Charlie!

Lay-offs by Rockwell International in Columbus Ohio in 1970 led my father to a new position as head draftsman for G. E. In Schenectady NY. This was his co-workers' farewell "card" (measuring 19x15"). The art is by Warren Walker, who found his new job doing animation art at Disney in Florida. My father lured some of his co-workers into cycling and I'm sure he missed that companionship on the roads in NY. He threw a lot of his efforts into helping my generation enjoy the sport, making our time trials work, creating maps and certificates and driving us to events such as TOSRV back in Ohio and Konski's 24 hour time trial in 1973. His avid interest in the sport only ended when he passed away at 94 in 2013.
