Looking for Earth Rounder Bill Randolph

Steve Ashby · #1 08-26-2010, 12:29 PM

In my grueling divorce, I lost my contact information for Bill (William D.) Randolph, the incredible guy who, in his 70's built a RV-8 and then flew it around the world. I had the priviledge of meeting him at OSH in 2005 and then corresponding with him by email over the last few years. He gave me valuable information regarding configurations and power settings for long distance flights. After the marital flush, all of this information is gone. I found an address in Aptos, California. Does anyone have his phone number or email address? I would be extremely grateful if anyone can help me.

Thanks!
