My name is Matt Anderson.  My father, James Anderson, grew up with Bud.  When I was young, my father would frequently tell tales of how smart and ingenious his friend Bud was. I was told of the "Ford-a-lac" that Bud built which would climb Marin Ave. in high gear and the Amphibious Recreational Vehicle (ARV) that he built which would deploy into a swim platform for the Delta. Great loss.
