Ray Schlee
The first time I met Mr Schlee was back in the late 90s before there was a HD Museum. The archives were in the basement of the main building at 3700 Juneau and it was next to impossible to get in. I was in Milwaukee for an update class and the instructor asked if we could see anything at the Motor Company, what would it be? I told Mark Rogers, our teacher, "where the old bikes are". Ray was very gracious letting us spend our lunch hour there, telling great stories of how and why certain pieces made it to the archives. His knowledge of the backstory of each bike should be in a book. Great guy.
