We are sorry to be the bearers of sad news, but Roundel's Editor

Emeritus, Yale Rachlin, passed away yesterday afternoon from pancreatic cancer. Yale was only diagnosed with the problem a short while ago, so most of us were unprepared to have him slip away so quickly.

A lot can be said about Yale and his role in the Club and with Roundel

particularly, but one thing anyone who knew him will tell you...Yale was a guy who loved a good laugh, and we had many of them together.

The world will be a little less fun without Yale in it.

Yale was a modest, private man and following his wishes, his family

will not be holding any type of service at this time, although there may be a Memorial Service in Boston at a later, unspecified date. The Club Office will relay to you any further information as we receive it

from the family.

A friend and I rescued it from the infamous doctor. He wrote about it a few months ago in the Roundel.

The car was (and will be again) that perfect combo of street and track. I've built my M3 with the same formula. Stiff Bilsteins, roll bar, harnesses, shorter springs etc.

I have a picture of Yale next to his old tii (that has since seen better days...) at one of the first 02 fests in 1992 or 1993.

That was one of "the cars" that got me into this stuff...I certainly wish him and his family the best.

Yale was one of the good ones he will be missed, he did so much for the BMWCCA. God bless his family.
