b'In MemoryT his is a tribute to my good friend and neighbor Peter Lamberti, known to those close to him as Junior, who passed away unexpectedly in January of 2020. I first met Junior at his dads chainsaw repair shop on Phelps road in Barre town. I took my chainsaw and dirt bike to him and was immediately impressed by his knowledge and mechanical ability.About 15 years ago, Junior moved to my hometown of Corinth and started his own repair shop. It was nice to have a person in town with such mechanical talent. He could fix anything with a small engine from lawn equipment, chainsaws, ATVs, dirt bikes, motorcycles, and his favorite passion, snowmobiles. On one occasion, I walked into his shop with my favorite chainsaw with a blown engine. Junior said with his big smile, What did you boys break on the farm today? He told me he thought he had an engine in his collection for my saw. Sure enough, I got a call a week later telling me my saw was ready andRememberinggood as new. It is still running today!Customers came to Juniors shop from all over for repairs on ATVs, lawnPETER LAMBERTIequipment, and snowmobiles. He often had the parts right in his collection and if not, he would get them quickly.By Charles WhiteHis shop was near the VAST trail, so I would drive my sleds up to be serviced. A few minutes stop would end up being a couple of hours once we got on the topic of snowmobiles, as we were both collectors of old Arctic Cats.One of my fondest memories was going to the Washington Snow Flyers vintage club show five years ago. Junior had brought his pride and joy; a 1967 Panther Arctic Cat P-15 and I was there with my 1968 Panther P-17.We entered our machines in the show and proceeded to check out the other vintage snow machines.To this day, I miss my trips up to Juniors shop and seeing his big smile as he asked me, So what did you break today? and the long conversations about vintage snowmachines that would follow.Winter 2023 | 11'
