As I recall, he was French. I have no idea if that’s a more masculine name over there.

Probably the case. I had a few friends growing up whose name was Sophie, plus there's Sophia too.

Where it can lead...

The associated piston (which I still keep as a ashtray for our nicotene-addicted friends):

A renter had the valve fail in our Citabria and made an emergency landing at Homestead Air Force Base.

Made an award for him:

Never got it to him. Can't find him now.

Anyone know him?

Hey! I’ve got one of those awards, too! But it’s from a Toyota. Hahaha.

Thanks for sharing.

This, from the O-360 in my Tiger, never made it onto a plaque!
