For better and for worse (like most of us, but on a far larger scale) Mr. Shelby, lived a lot, loved a lot (if the accounts are true) and accomplished a lot. Not everything he did was praiseworthy, but all of us here owe much about our shared enthusiasms to him and his gift for organization and promotion. He achieved much, and when he screwed up, he did that on a grand scale and was equally entertaining. If you turn to "L" in the Cosmic Dictionary, and look under "larger than life", you'll find his grinning photo in the margin. May his tires always hold air and his wheels stay on.
