19. Sad To See Armstrong Falls

Tue Jan 15, 2013, 10:09 AM

Jan 2013

Believe it or not, my dad used to ride with him (casually) in the hill country around Austin Texas and until his career really took off, he was something of a family friend. I'll remember him as a nice guy that was always cool to me and my sister. Sad to see things fall apart for him, but he's only got himself to blame.
