No I'm sorry I do not know such a person. He problably was not there when the dealership was owned by Ace Wilson Sr.
In approximately 1970 Ace Sr. sold Royal Pontiac to Doug Spedding who put his ex Chevrolet store General Manger Bob Shaffo into the dealership. It was renamed Shaffo's Royal Pontiac. This only lasted about a year until Jim Fresard bought the dealership.
There are strong odds that it was under either Shaffo or Fresard that he was hired in and worked there.
