I've heard of this man. His name spread far and wide, but I regret
to tell you he has passed on. I went to Atlanta, near Spaghetti
Junction, a few years ago to look at a Marquart project, and the owner
told us John had died. The man who went with me was also a Marquart
builder, who knew John Matthews and thought the world of him. IIRC,
it was John Matthews who took him for a ride in a Marquart and
convinced him to build one, which he did.
