Friends & FELLOW BICYCLE RIDERS,
I'm sending you an article from our "Longview 'DAILY NEWS'"! Its interesting and partially truthful as far as it goes, about the bicycle business here!
Unfortunately I must report to you that "The Best bicycle repair shop in Cowlitz County" , for most of the last 12 years is closing!
Mr. Jeff Byman; the brother of one of my nurses and one of my aides, at the retirement home where I was living; is closing Byman's Bikes on Commerce Avenue> He was one of the one of the few who realized what I needed to further my recovery from two T. I.A.'s! As a matter of fact the other people were on his staff
The next time you all ride from Seattle to Portland be on the lookout for me on a bright yellow "Worksman Tricycle, with more head lights [8]. bells & horns [3] red stop lamps and reflectors [3&2] than are required by law, oh yes and I have an AM / FM Radio!

Well my friend Jeff didn't push me into anything! I sold my self!

As the Step-son & Step-Grandson of Henry Ford's largest dealership owners in New York City, I was able to tell him how much I appreciated his dealership! I understand that my friend will not be leaving the area!

I further understand that some of his well trained staff will be opening a dealership in our town! I hope to be able to sing their parses to you in the next few weeks!
Respectfully yours,
George de Randich
