"BUT AATranxaxle continues on.  Over the last several years Daryl had turned
the shop over to his son Matt.  Under the eye and guidance of Daryl these
last few years Matt has become AATransaxle, complete with the skill,
knowledge and business practices that all had come to respect with Daryl.
 Daryl wanted to make sure the gears kept turning.
So broken sliders still have a great shop to go to for repair :)"

I will second that with a paraphrase taken from a conversation I had with
Daryl sitting around a campfire one night somewhere in Nevada in January of
2012.  Daryl's words went something like this; "Matt is probably even a
better builder than I am as I have not taught him the shortcuts that I
know".

Loren if you hear of a date and time for services please let me know asap I
would like to try to make it if possible but need advance notice to arrange
a flight, lodging, transportation, etc.
