Both Mike and Randy Searl (a 72'er from our Walter Hays days) and long gone now as well were such talented mechanics. Mike was in my 8th grade metal shop class with Mr. Dockins, who recognized that Mike was gifted in his field and fabricating go carts at 14. Even before then, Randy was racing dual engine go carts and later became a well known winning Bulatco Dirt Bike racer. Not the usual Palo Alto stuff. I bought a noisy Mini Bike from Randy at about that age and got into some fun and a little trouble running it around the Paly track surrounding the Foolball Field with a couple of other 72'ers.
If the engines were loud, Randy was mostly a bit shy and quiet.

HOW DID RANDY PASS AWAY? WE PLAYED SOCCER TOGETHER. HOW SAD.

He was murdered on the beach in Half Moon Bay. Believe it is an unsolved case.
