[Clifford Files]

Joe / Jan,
 
Joe, this very sad news reached me yesterday - my condolences to Francis and Tony.
 
I know Jack will be missed yet it seemed fitting that Jack's passing happened doing what he loved best.
 
In writing back, I am also acknowledging your personal friendship with Jack which has been a strength to both of you over the years.
 
These are trying times however, I am pleased that the Kastner Cup will be dedicated to Jack - that is very fitting and through this, his memory shall be long lived.
 
Clifford

FOT, 

Overwhelming response to Jack's death.  No surprise. 

Francis & I spoke shortly after the accident and she was very composed.  Her strength is beyond my understanding. Francis is truly a saint and responsible for much of who Jack was. 

Jan & I are still awaiting word of the Arrrangements, expecting Wednesday or Thursday. We expect to hear something today 

In the meantime, Watkins Glen will include some time to celebrate the Life & Times of Jack Drews.  Likely this will be Saturday night in the TRIUMPH PADDOCK.  While I have not spoken to Frances, nor Tony, since Saturday, I am hoping that they will find the strength to follow through with their plans to be at The Glen. 

The Kastner Cup Race will dedicated to the Memory of Jack Drews, the first recipient of the Cup. 

Thank you for all of the personal emails and calls. 

Jack & I spoke of our mortality, frequently when we were on one of our 'Senior Tours'.  Jack was well prepared for this eventuality spiritually, and has spent much of his time preparing me. I hope I am worthy of his mentoring. I owe him much. 

Joe Alexander
