Phil was instrumental in introducing me to the 28" motorbike era about 15 years ago when he bought a 20's Elgin motobike and 1932 Packard badged Schwinn motobike at the Memory lane meet just because I was wanting these models and promptly sent them to me here in Canada.
They are projects that I still have. He also sent me free, an original paint Chief frame, no fork and it is slowly coming together as well. The biggest gem has to be my 1936 CCM 6-day track racer in rare black, still have it of course. Over the years, he continued to inspire my with his knowledge freely given. Always there when you need him. Now that was a true gentleman collector! I miss him already......
