Whether we agree or disagree with the man's ethics, personal standards, or business practices we cannot deny his deeds (good or bad) and accomplishments. He was the "facilitator" of that life experience/phenom we call "Cobra" I'm happy for any mortal that is alive, to be recognized for his or her achievements (its better than being memorialized!). I think those of us "in the sport" called Cobra enthusiasts might know too much about the man, and show him little mercy. Outside our sport his image is still held on a high pedestal created by history and the media...maybe that's good, and we don't appreciate it? Let's face it, when it comes to personalities and faultless ethics Enzo, Henry F., Alfred P., Harvey F. were not at the top of the list!
