I knew Sam for many years when he came up to FDL with Mercury - he was put into the Snowmobile group for a while! First time I met him I was having some questions on the Merc 250 snomo exhaust elbows, a cast iron part. As Chief Inspetor, I took the layouts over to Sam, his only comment "machine a couple if they clean up use 'em. Wouldn't sign the deviation - but we used them anyway. Musta worked, we built thousdands of them.
I never knew until later that he was the designer of Jim Rathman's Xterminator go kart. Those bring huge money today if you can find one.
For those who may not know, Sam is no longer with us, passed about 3 years ago.

Billy, Earl and Charlie Shepard in Bristol. Great shot taken by Brian Dewey. I was standing next to him.
