Jim Frase and I worked at three companies together. Two were owned by the same folks; Da-Lite Screen Company and VSI Trooper. We first worked together at Cole Office Environments, a furniture manufacture in York, PA. back in the late 80's. Prior to working at Cole, Jim was an engineer at the Harley Plant in Pennsylvania during the period of time that Harley Davidson made it's huge turnaround from near death to great success!
Jim was always the consumate professional engineer, and so full of knowledge that it was a wonderful learning experience everytime I got to sit with him for awhile.
When we were running VSI Trooper we used to start at 6AM every morning, and then around 8:30 AM we'd head up to the "Firehouse" Restaurant on the corner near our offices and have breakfast together.
Jim made some smart career and investment choices, and now lives in Florida in the winter (where he keeps his Honda Goldwing), and Pennsylvania in the summer where this beautiful Harley is his ride!
Ride on Jim.....Ride Safe!
