Sad to hear. Elmo was a mentor and adversary. Disagreements turned into lessons.
Joanie & I extend our prayers to Elmo's family and friends.

Godspeed and RIP Elmo Gillette,

I really enjoyed watching you work on the Red Head Streamliner.

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Sad to see the pioneers pass. Condolences to the family.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
