I stand corrected about Brian. I had assumed that the "contemporary"
picture accompanying the story was a fresh one, and it featured Bob in a
TR-6 and Brian in a flight suit underneath the prop of a fighter plane. The
article never did mention his death. The issue in question is actually the
October 1999 Classic and Sports Car (red TR-5 on the cover) ("Group Captain"
by Harold Pace, pg 124-129). It turned out I had the issue in question in
my desk after all.
I did some digging in my bookmarks. and found this page
http://www.LapRecord.com/Group44.html and another link
http://www.manhattanjagrkvl.com/dealrship/awards.htm referring to an award
in Brian Fuerstenau's name.
