First time I talked to Jere was in the mid 70's when I built my first flow bench. He was extremely helpful.
Fast forward to 1989 and I was building a Dyno cell. I called and he remembered me. He really helped with the design of the cell. (kept me from making mistakes) I got a large envelope with hand written notes and suggestions from him. He even drew up some dyno specific headers for the most common engines I ran. I guess we just clicked. He was always helpful. The last set of headers I got from him were for one of my best friends SBC Monza...were heck to put on, but worked well. The set of headers he did for my D/Gas Vette back in the mid 70's were the best on the car. I never found any headers that went down track as quick as his set did. I have often wondered how many guys like me there were scattered around the country that he helped out.
