Ariel (AKA Arde) and Graciela are driving the last drive

Oh no! So sorry to read this. I met Ariel the first time at Concorso Italiano of all places, and he was there with his Lancia Fulvia Rally, yellow with a black hood. He was his hilarious self, as usual.
For a time we corresponded about life in Aptos, where he had retired, south of Santa Cruz. I had contemplated a change in life and moving from the east to the California Coast. He had some great advice, although we ended up not moving.
I will miss his wit around here. And such a rich and interesting life he led. One of so many immigrants who made good here in the US and contributed so much.
