He was my great Uncle.
In the summer of 1971, he wanted me to go to Susanville, Calif. and work in the shop where (i believe) he was the service manager on a big earthmoving project. He was a BIG man, 6'+ and 350 lbs. He was missing an index finger on his right hand. He drove a Saab (car).
I didn't get to go to Susanville for the summer. I was a natural wrench at 14 and would have loved it.

Let me hear from anyone who may have run across Loren.
Thanks Steve
