Execuu\'eSeaclary LO lhe Publisher Nancy Danger. Advertising/Editorial Assistant. The Over The Hill Gang; what's that group all about, you ask?

Box 387, Colton, California 92324,714/783-1240. RUNOVERRON President OTHG ... recently an ad appeared in Cycle News thanking my sponsor for their continued support. Unfortunately, a full page would not be sufficient to thank the many people who make racing possible. Given this opportunity, I would like LO thank some of them now. Unintentionally, I left Dennis Lattimer's Motorcycle Supply in Okla: homa Ci ty out of the aforementioned ad. They have helped to make the past sea on last a few more races. Kevin and Pat Donnelly at Shoei, John Yaw from Carlisle, Ralph. Rich and Joe at Kal·Gard, Don Graves from Interpart, Ross Cruseman at Shoreline, Walter Van Schoenfeld from Castrol. Tom and Dan - the White Bros., Joe Lee and Carol Yohe from ippondenso, Tom Cates at KBeN and, until recently, Dave Bucher from MXL are all responsible for my support from these companies. A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Thanks also LO Bob Schn\eder for righting the wrongs in my mOLOr and making it as competitive as possible. The Ingrams, Labordus', Burkholders, Jones' and Pooveys' all made the road seem more like home. Finally, a thanks deeper than I can express LO Don Graves and Ken Barrow. without whom I would still be in Granite City with California looking far away indeed. No one could have better friends than all of these. Thank you all, you are most certainly the best. ROB HASSAY Fountain Valley, CA Caveat emptor Remembering Eddie Unini As bikers, we must stick together and share important information. I have had a bad experience with a company called Watson Fiberglass Be Racing Parts at 4914 Calument Ave. in Hammond, Indiana. They make various fiberglass and metal parts for different model bikes. They also have my money and I have no merchandise. I contacted the Consumer Affairs Division of the District AtLOrney in Hammond and they informed me that others have had problems as well. I think it would be wise to steer clear of this company. Hope this will save you some time and money. RONTOMLI SO orth Texas Director International CBX Owners Association My husband Charles (Pops) Unini and our late son Eddie Unini have subscribed to Cycle News for many years. It has been very heartwarming to see that our late son has been remembered in your "Ten Years Ago" column. We have seen his name appear many times in the last few years. It was indeed a very nice Christmas present and a nice way to start the new year, reading about his cycle racing achievements in the January II Cycle News. Thank you so very, very much from the bottom of our hearts. Even though our son has been gone now for almost eight year (lost LO us in a cycle racing accident), we still miss him very much and remember the wonderful times we had together at all the cycle races. Thank you once again and happy new year. CHARLES Be MARION UNINI San Francisco, CA Editorial Dale Brown. Senior Editor. Lance Bryson. Editor. David Edwards. Editor. Kit Palmer, Editor.
