AONE remembers Fred DiMatteo

[Dave Pratt <dave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends -

As alluded to earlier here on the Digest, there will soon be a special 
issue of Velocissima, the Alfa Owners of New England newsletter, published 
honoring Fred DiMatteo, prepared by some of AONE's long-time fellow 
members.  This issue will appear simultaneously at www.velocissima.com, 
where it will likely develop into a work in progress, the Fred DiMatteo Web 
Site, if you will, with contributions from all over the world.

In the meantime, we're inviting you to contribute your thoughts, photos, 
stories, and whatever else you'd like to offer on a special online Forum 
set up for this purpose at www.velocissima.com.  At some later time, this 
Forum will be printed and presented to the DiMatteo family as a tribute.

The new AONE Forum section has been in development for several weeks, has 
undergone significant testing, and was scheduled for release in 
May.  However, the passing of Fred has prompted us to make it accessible 
now, so that you may use it to express your thoughts on this amazing man 
and his life.  Many of you have shared your sentiments already here on the 
Digest, and we urge you to do so again on the AONE Forum so that they can 
be gathered in one place.  (You do not need to register as a Forum member 
to post to this topic.  The Forum is new, so please report any problems you 
may encounter back to me.)

We join you in mourning the death and celebrating the life of this 
exemplary individual -- an unabashed Alfa enthusiast, devoted AONE member, 
unsurpassed Alfa expert, past AONE President, ex-Velocissima editor, club 
supercharger, and very special friend.

Dave Pratt
AONE Webmaster
