Yup, I think Guy and his Dad, Ed, had some sort of falling out. It was right around the time that Guy opened up his saw shop. Bobby, Guy's younger brother, pretty much took over the snowmobile shop side of things then. That had to have been mid-'80s I think. My dad and Ed got along pretty well. My dad would trade work on Ed's road-going vehicles for snowmobile parts from time to time back in the mid-'70s when I was only about 9 or 10 years old. They'd get tired of me asking questions about things and send me off to putter around some of the trails close to there on the old (well, new then) Arctic Cat mini bikes. It was one of the last of the real family run snowmobile shops. I have a lot of good memories of staying there with the Smalleys when my dad did side work for them.
