[Tigers] Conservative PDX

[J D Johnson]

You have to love selective memory.  Admittedly there's a diminished 
old-timers contribution to the list, but recollecting Portland, 
Oregon and not mentioning the infamous Charles Heitz and his All 
Foreign Auto Rebuilding & Parts, Inc. seems a total perversion of 
history.  To put it bluntly, today's "scammers" have nothing on 
Charlie.  His name still comes up whenever the question of marque 
purity is discussed.
