Well. Both Fiorini and Appel worked for Trek. Fiorini, as I mentioned above, left for Paramount; Appel left to work independently, a couple years before Fiorini left. There used to be a group of Trek workers who would hang out at Appel's shop on the east side of Madison. Joe Starck and Dave Tesch left to work for Masi. A couple, like me, stayed with Trek.
