I had so many fond memories of Minor Butcher. I met him 1986, as a CSUS student and working at the Federal Bldg, he allowed me to park for 4 hrs in their assigned parking spaces. He was such a generous person. One, time I thought my clutch was going out on my car. He asked if I knew how to pop the clutch. I said yes. Minor pushed my car out the parking lot by himself. I was forever in debted to him.
