The information that came forth regrading Barney Navarro got me thinking that it might be interesting to start a thread or section about well known and not so well known people that were early proponents of the Y-Block. Articles by them and about them might be of interest and educational, even inspiring in some cases.
Some obvious people would be: Karol Miller, Doan Spencer, Racer Brown, Barney Navarro, Bill Stroppe, John Holman.
In studying the design of the Y-Block you will see the name Ricardo mentioned but how many know who he was and what he did?
Although not necessarily involved with the Y, people such as Ed Winfield need to be remembered or future generations will miss out a great deal on the contributions of some truly talented individuals.
