Narrative:
In 4/90, I discovered that my a&P #south showed up on a yellow tag of a part that was shipped to calif. Someone used my a&P #south and faked my signature. The yellow tag read something like this: 'maintenance release. I certify I have inspected this part iow current far's and find it serviceable.' I am fully aware that only certified repair stations can issue a maintenance release. A complete report has been filed with the flight standards district office in miami.
