Default Bob Lee, he helped build your cars

The windbreaker came from an interesting person, Robert E. Lee, of Cameron Park, CA. He had worked at the Venice and West Imperial Highway Shelby facilities as a very young man and was driving to attend a Shelby Employee's Reunion when he was killed in an auto accident. Later in life, he was a private and commercial airline pilot who flew the Shah's gold out of Iran in sewing machine boxes. He also flew The Rat Pack and other celebrities as Kirk Kerkorian's private pilot for a number of years and then flew for World Airway's until his retirement. He was a life-long 'car guy' and I loved going to car shows and concours with him. He is missed.
See the attachment of Bob and his dog, Casey, if you think you might have known him.
