I remember him well. We participated in numerous rallies together, and
he was quite a passionate man. Any links to Obits?

On the sports side Outback Bowl goes down as one of the greatest
roller coaster of emotions at a sporting event ever! Demos leg seemed
injured before he was hurt. His kicks barely made the 15.
