Re: [T3] Russ Wolfe

["Daniel Baum" <daniel@type34.info>]

<x-flowed>I haven't written to this list in years, but I really have to say how sad I 
am to read that Russ has passed away.

Russ helped me countless times with my Type 34, especially with the 
automatic transmission. I think it's justified to say that no one else had 
his depth of expertise, or willingness to help clueless newbies like me, on 
this particular aspect of the Type3.

He will be sorely missed.

RIP.

Daniel
