[Fot] My favorite memory of Jack...

[dos_gusanos at msn.com]

I am happy to have been the benefactor of an unconditional night in Geneseo.  Racing a Triumph was not a requirement to be welcomed by Jack and Frances. I will always remember the tour of Jack's garage in the morning and realizing how technologically behind I was.  My desert dwelling kids got their first run through a real corn field across the street from the Drew's home.  Jack, and Joe's, willingness to let an unknown guy invade the privacy of their homes, made my dream of returning and running at Road America a reality in 2005.  Jack's enthusiasm and generosity have been an inspiration to me.  I hope to some day be half the man and driver he was..........................Henry Morrison

For the feature Jack said, "what the heck, let's put on a show".  We passed and re-passed about three times a lap,  and each time at Turn Five. The spectators on the bleachers started standing and cheering, we heard later. On the last lap, at the last turn, I was ahead and did not want to be first at the chequered flag. I waved him up, but he did not respond. So I came off of the gas and then onto the brakes.      So did Jack. Tony was watching. and said,  "that was first time he ever saw two cars cross the finish line with their noses in the 'down' attitude and brakes lights on". 
(I am sure it was a point of discussion in the tower, too)
