REFLECTOR:Oil Leaks - Franklin

[Donald Royer]

They are having problems. When I talked to them about a month ago several
things were going wrong at once. First, when Pratt and Whitney bought out
PZL in Poland they stopped production of the Franklin engine and they
cancelled all of the Franklin dealerships including the Askeland brothers'
one. In addition, their landlord cancelled their lease as of the end of the
year because he was selling the building.  When I talked to them they were
going to try to carry on some where some how, but nothing had been settled
at that point. I hope that they can stay in the business because they are
straight shooters and they are very knowledgeable about the Franklin
engines.

I am only about thirty miles from Fort Collins and so I will try to keep
track of what happens with them, report back to the Franklin drivers in the
group.
