I met Ed Roth at Bonneville in 98... neat guy... we hung out at the bend in
the Road and the guy made me a couple of burgers and we sat and chatted for
hours... He was always one of my hero's... after this meeting he was a
friend.... I was actually embarrassed when I got up to leave... I asked him
to autograph my Bonneville T-shirt... which he did....
thanks for sharing the news...
