Gretna, NE Wednesday, February 10, 2016 Gloria and family, so many fond memories of the early 70s when I worked for Triggs Sinclair and we used to go car racing when I sat on tires in the old panel truck, because it had no passenger seat. Stew was one of the best, will always remember. I am sorry for your loss.
