Title: More sad news
Post by: paul a. busick on July 30, 2012, 02:47:39 PM
Ralph Haslage has died.  Ralphy Good Guy was with the Penton Honda Shop as a mechanic and later as Store manager. He was with John for many years.  He was a enduro racer and a Amherst fixture.  We who knew him will miss him.
More to follow as information becomes available.
Amherst Paul :(

I think I remember Ralph racing a Husky 400 at Amherst Meadowlarks while smoking his cigar.   He was always a pleasure to be around.   joe

That is indeed sad news, many of Al Born's stories from days gone by involved Ralph.
