OT: Pete Albrecht mentioned in NYT

Old-timers here will remember Pete Albrecht; some may remember that his major line of work at the time was translating German engineering books into English. He also worked for Porsche in Germany and learned his race car driving from Paul Frere.



Pete and Paul Frere translated _The Porsche Book: The Complete History of Types and Models_, which is reviewed in the New York Times:

Thanx, Ed! Pete was a favorite in early RCM. He dates back to the T-nut days. It is too bad he was driven off RCM by the general run of crap that is existent now. Your reference to Pete is a nice reminder of the salad days of RCM.

Yes, and I've talked with Jim Rozen lately, who is another reminder of what it used to be.

Tell him to stop messing around being successful and get back here where he belongs.

His and Gary Coffman's disagreements with others were mild compared with some of the whack-jobs we have nowadays.
