spiegal 294 Posted March 28, 2008 That is indeed a most sad but not unexpected loss. He was a man of great integrity, simply lived for Speedway, and believed in old fashioned honesty and the Corinthian spirit of the sport. Many times in the 1970-190 period when I met him on countless occassions, he was always polite, amusing and idiosyncratic...he was a true character, and his knowedge of the halcion days of Polish Speedway always brightened the (often) extremely boring press conference after a meeting. yet another gone...may he enjoy his Speedway in the next world James Easter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
