Worked with Buzz for almost 40 years at Buckbee Mears Co in St Paul . We were part of crew that shot down the facilities in St Paul in 2003 .
Use to stop down to his shop in Diamond Bluff to shoot the breeze and swap stories . It was a chance for me to get the motorcycle out and put a few miles on it , with a place to stop on the way.
