Its been a tough week for me personally. Many of you know that my days of upgrading PCs a few times a year have dwindled, as my interests take me elsewhere after 20+ years of doing PCs day and night. I have taken up riding an ATV as a hobby, and with that bought a trailer that needed some serious work.
If you've followed along with me on any of those stories, you may recall the two High School kids that I befriended and mentored 2 years+ ago. They've been the primary workforce behind the trailer restoration, and I feed them and give them either PC hardware or my old mountain bike as payment for their work.
One of the guys joined the Marines 2 weeks ago, and the other passed away at the tender age of 17 last Wednesday in a one car accident.

I went to the viewing on Sunday, and its been very hard to get over this for me. My daughter and I just went bowling tonight at a local bowling alley, and there was his Mom. So we sat and chatted, and I came up with the idea of having a custom graphic created for the trailer to honor him. What I envision is a fictitious company named 'Stanley's Sprockets' (the kid LOVED to ride his bike everywhere, at least until he got a license and truck earlier this year). We all said that his career profession would be in a bike shop somewhere.
So here is the font I pictured: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/stanley-steemer or something similar .. block with some edge to the letters.
The 'o' in sprockets would be an actual sprocket (I like this one - http://k4.stylefeeder.net/thumb/f9/c...1dbc2d-200.jpg sized approximately twice the size of the letters.
Under the graphic in smaller text would be added: Dedicated in memory of Michael 'Mikey" Stanley * 1993-2010.
Feel free to use your best judgment on it as well, as my plan is to have it made into a graphic to put on the trailer. Thanks for any help you can provide on this too.

I am so sorry. I hope that someone here can help. If I were you, I would send Vito a PM in case he doesn't see this. Or anyone else that might be able to help. Best of luck to you.
