Regarding the Christmas dinner at the Masi factory in 1973; having read it back it sounds as if we were seated on the shop floor. I meant to say that the seating area and the tables were situated near the assembly area. Multimillionaire Roland Sahn would not have us sitting on the floor with the distinguished Italians as guests. It was a nice dinner. Although I found a toe strap in my soup. ;-) Just kidding.
Oh Yeah, I seem to remember that it was Faliero that explained about the "MC" bit. And I'm sure Mario was secretly thrilled inside that those were his initials!
