Anyone seen him around since then ?

Larry Paul? I haven't seen or heard from him in a long, long time. He had
either just finished or was about to finish up his university studies, and
was going to be looking for the requisite employment-type situation.
The editorship of Tiger Tales was coming available, and he had asked about
maybe volunteering to do it. I advised him to take a little time off, and
get himself situatated first--We didn't have PCs and word processors back
then, and the monthly newsletter was a very heavy two-weeks-on/two-weeks-off
"opportunity" for the editor.
We featured his "California Tiger" in the February/1983 issue of Tiger Tales.
"The turbocharged engine puts out 630 horsepower and 515 lbs/ft of torque at
the 6500 rpm redline, with 22 pounds of boost from the turbo," it said. And
. . . "accelerates from 20 to 140 mph in approximately five seconds . . ."
Pretty awesome machine!
