Eagle computer question?

Well, I've done it now. I put an old Eagle computer up for auction,
and I included a bit of history about "Eagle Conmputer",
but now I wonder if I goofed up big-time on the history.

As I recall, Many many years ago (around 1982?) I read in InfoWorld that
Eagle Computer's president met a tragic end, just after the company went
public, or get a big bunch of financing, or somesuch. Something along the
lines of his car ran off the road after a celebratory party. If you've
driven Hwy 17 at night (between San Jose and Scotts Valley), you know it's a
real damp-armpits trip, even when sober. About 300 twisty turny bits,
rising and falling, no streetlights, few guardrails, steep dropoffs.

But now as I search the Web, I can't find any trace of this news item. Did
I imagine it? Have I got the wrong company? Anybody recall? It's awful
turning 50!


Thanks,


George
