Snapshots

Kingab has been Mike’s number one man for so long, most of you probably don’t remember any different.  He had some big shoes to fill, coming after Unbridled and Tanico but he did it admirably.  I remember when he first joined the Sim, shortly before his retirement, and his wife asked us if we could put Larry to work writing for the Sim Racing Form, the forerunner of the Black Type Bugler, as he needed something to do.  We did and he became one of our staunchest supporters.  I met Larry at one of Mike’s first parties and he is truely a fun loving, enthusiastic, wonderful person.  Here is Kingab’s snapshot.
