I met Moe at the Twin Commander University held at the EAA head quarters in Oshkosh
Wisconsin.I came into a meeting room for one of our seminars and took an
empty seat. I looked to my left and saw this gentleman with shoulder length hair,dressed
in a cowboy out fit complete with a leather vest and really neat snake
skin boots. (blue?).He was talking to a mature,clean cut ,gentleman. I could
heard some of their conversation and it sounded to me like they were discussing
the deck clearance of the pistons in some airplane engine. I had an amateur
back ground in drag racing and recognized the lingo.At some point when one
of them stopped talking. I asked if that was in-fact the topic. Moe confirmed
that it was. I asked him how he knew about this stuff and he informed me he was
involved with a company that made racing pistons. I asked who bought them and
he said most of the people in the Indy 500. I asked who the other knowledgeable
guy was and he replied Dick Macoon AKA Mr RPM and holds more STC's and inventions
for Commanders than any one else.
I became friends with both of them. Moe and I walked the EAA museum together that
evening. He read each description on each plane in its entirety and added
in depth details of his own. A truely amazing man.
I regret *I never hooked up with him for a ride in his great airplane. The economic
down turn has kept me away from the most recent get togethers. I have hopes
for Savannah. He will be greatly missed.
