Just checked in over at the DD forums.  I know many of us bounce around the forums, so I thought I'd pass on the bad news.

Buck Besson, aka Uncle Buck, aka Randy Earl, founder of the DD forums passed on last night at 10:30 pm.

Gods speed Buck.  Sad

Mike.

Terrible news.  I joined the DD soon after he started it.  I even built the high nose Kato N&W GP35 that was presented to him on, I think, the first anniversary of the DD.  I will remember him as someone that loved to build what-if diesels and was very passionate about it.

I haven't been on there much in the past 5 or 6 years.  I guess the DD will still be around?

I know what an ARF is and MRH but when I Googled DD I was led to ladies foundations?

What, pray tell, would be a DD? To those not so enlightened?

Thanks, Ed

I hope that the Diesel Detailer Forum stays around. It had a plethora of valuable information.
